I wish to deny the foul rumour that it is all a thought-experiment by the more militantly subjective existentialist members of the Namers College. If, on the other hand, anyone sees (or thinks they see) a creature with GTN of "Test-Subject-1A," I'm sure the College would like to know. Yours anonymously, Sincere Friend. OOC: it must be an oversight. "Giant, Hill" is on SF's list, not marked as an addition per se -- so there probably was an electron version somewhere [years ago] that did list it. regards, Michael >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Ian Wood & Ellen Hume & Adara Wood >[SMTP:adara@ihug.co.nz] >> Sent: Tuesday, 27 March 2001 13:09 >> To: dq@dq.sf.org.nz >> Subject: [dq] Names List - Hill Giant >> >> To anyone concerned with such things (Mike P?

The reasoning being that we should work our way up to a non-broken system in incremental steps. 2) That maces be given a bonus to SC of 50, D of +4 and an extra attack each pulse against opponents with 22+ AG. I think this will add an extra dimension of excitement to battles. 3) That all binders and bards be executed by ducal decree along with mages who are named Gavin. I just don't like them and owe Gavin 93,526 SP 4) That a new character race, half-devils be introduced. Fnord William -- to unsubscribe notify mailto:dq-request@dq.sf.org.nz --
