Well, ok, a magic plate armor and sword aren't good examples, but let's just
say a mega-powerful character doesn't need to worry much about where on the
board he is. Consider Neil's necromancer. Ouch.

They actually already have AV for most things-- It depends on what material
the item is made from. Somewhere in the beginning of the trooper's arsenal,
IIRC. Although I don't think there are rules about modifying the AV of a
weapon. As for targeting, I assume it would count under the 'smaller than a
minifig head' for most things.

Heh, I probably forgot a bunch :) Actually, another good one was Shaun's
powerful unit blowing up in a hallway and consequently causing ... how many
troops' deaths?

Well, the idea being that the extra equipment would theoretically have magic
to increase the unit's total AV. So his AV would jump from, say, 10 to 50,
and then he'd need to convert.
> Now with the hit points, do we want to prevent the use of healing elixer?
Hmm... good question. I think I'd probably opt for one or more of
- healing over time (say... 3HP per round?)
- majik mediks
- healing potions (same as whatever mediks use, but SP applied to a potion)
I'm not sure I'm against healing potions, since you'd need to make a potion
be pretty powerful to fully-heal a unit. Plus (assumedly), it takes a full
turn to drink the potion, so that unit is incapacitated for the turn. I
would say it's an all-or-nothing thing. So no "I'm gonna drink 1/2 of it,
and save the next 1/2 for later". That way if you want to splurge on healing
potions, that's just more you could have spent elsewhere.
In *FACT*... Hmm. Maybe you're not allowed to give healing potions to other
characters, so the points alloted to the potions just count towards the 50CP
total? That would prevent a quasi medic running around handing out potions,
too. Hmm...
