Well, after years of patient culling and lengthy discussions, neither my players nor me would try such a stupid thing. Anyway, we already tend to roll dices only ... say, thrice a session.

Argh... (beats his own head).
I really should read the contest section again (I tend to spend much
time in the magic section).
Well, now that I think about it I don't think any of the characters
have a really 'defensive' ability. (well, maybe Esrolian Philosophy or
'Ex Sex Slave 13', but that wouldn't have worked against the Big Nasty
Beast).

Yes, I see that now. Anyway, I plan to buy it, and also Storm Tribe, Saintly Knight and whichever-name-has-She-Gards-Us-now. I'm interested by all that (and not wanting to produce a new 'buy everything from Issaries' thread either)
