For me, the ability to add an ability to another is hugely powerful,
even in straight up
slugfest fashion. If a Wizard with some grimoire skills and spells
at 10W2 meets an
animist with a 10W2 spirit, remember that the wizard can take a
spell, maybe augment it
with a few others, and maybe add 20 points or so, getting up into the
10W3 range. The
animist can take his best ability and then add 50 points to it, which
means if the original
ability was only 17 he's still hit 7W3. If that ability is at all
powerful, he's passed the
wizard with a single move. That's pretty powerful in my view.
