>I don't think this is really necessary.
You know, I really screwed my argument with the choice of the word "police". ^_^
I meant far more "need to have a talk about it and see what makes sense
with you and the player".
Or, you know, "pay attention to".

Absolutely.

Well that's an interesting point.
I find that the rules certainly seem to imply that since a keyword has a
plethora of smaller actual abilities under it, it *doesn't* get hit with
stretch penalties and the like.

*smile*
Fair enough. (Although he can always be wrong about that.)

Which is really what I meant to get at with the terribly-phrased "police".
