Ahh, cool :)
Yeah, that's more or less what I thought would be cool-- the sword is really
helpful, but if you're restricted to running up to enemies and slashing
them, it doesn't prevent you from being killed along the way or whatever.

I've probably got enough BURPs for the whole project if need be... Wow. I
just checked Peeron-- I should have 176 BURPs (Grey/Dk Grey rectangular &
triangular). Dang. I didn't realize I had so many.

I'd actually be inclined to lower the max SP/CP allotment per character,
assuming I understand it right. As I understand it you can have 50 CP for
your SP allotment per character? So I could have a trooper who cost 25
points, and 50 points of SP's on top of that? If that's the case I could see
someone (aka me) going nutso and buying 13 troops who all maxxed out their
CP limits who were super-hard to kill. IIRC it's 20 CP to get that 'hover
flight' like Ram Man, and then 30 extra points to spend on more SP's to do
highly damaging things, not including whatever you might have equipment-wise.
I guess I should say I'm envisioning characters being about as powerful
(maybe a bit more) than the superheros in the Super-game we played a while
back; which were mostly 27CP (base) + a max of 23 CP's spent on SP's.
I'm thinking maybe... hmm... I guess you could fix it in one or more of a
few ways:
#1 - lower the SP's CP limit per troop to, say... 30 CP max spent on SP's?
#2 - set a ratio limit for magic users (like, oh, I dunno, 7 non-magic
troops per 1 magic troop?)
#2a - set a ratio limit for magic users based on their SP-- IE ratio
increases by 2 for every 10 CP spent on SP's?
#3 - have an SP limit per team? IE each team is limited to, I dunno, 200
CP's spent on SP's?
#4 - similar to the ratio idea, maybe each team can have a max of 1 50
CP-on-SP character, 3 30 CP-on-SP characters, 10 10 CP-on-SP characters or
whatnot?
#5 - set the *total* CP limit per character to 50 CP, including any spent on
SP's (that way you're less inclined to have *champions* running around with
mega SP's, since you can cram more SP's into a trooper/hero than a champion)

Note on the sword-- if it's more or less "up for grabs", it'll go pretty
quick, is my guess. Spend a bunch of points on hover-flight like Ram Man and
people can go right in and snatch it. Hmm... I'm thinking 'traps'. Or some
3rd party guard who you don't want to take on all alone...
