(...) On that note, what specifically about Ninjas should be disallowed? IE, half the reason Ninjas are so cool is Stealth, which costs an un-whopping 2 points. I'd either say disallow Stealth or make it cost more... Spider Gymnastix I'm not so (...) (21 years ago, 7-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)
