Slips of paper ... on which are drawn siege towers? Catapults? Dragons? I'm
sorry, Dave, but much like painted torsos, just because you have a drawing of a
Black-Plague laden cow doesn't mean that your army *has* a Black-Plague laden
cow.
More to the point, in addition to armor and weapons, there should be
goblets/potions, gems, scrolls/books, and so on! Even some capes with
protective attributes (no invisibility, Dave)!
I still like the idea of some coinage, too, with some sort of goofy,
invulnerable vendor selling desirable wares. For example, a Plague Cow for
only 60 LEGO money units? Who *wouldn't* want a Plague Cow?
