Thanks yammahoper

I have had a few GM's that we renamed Monty. Some of the stuff we did was a blast but game balance was a lonely mail box and we where the guys in the fast car with baseball bats.

I was also thinking.... work is slow so i am working on my adventure... dangerous really

Does the practise of constantly drawing PP to yourself begin to feel a bit "raw" after a while? Level not withstanding.

The Arcane Companion has some rules for "tap addiction" you might like the flavor of to express this.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die.

Hee, you know what that instantly reminded me of? Remember on Buffy where Willow turned evil (and her eyes turned black) and was addicted to magic? She even went back and drained the creepy guy who was feeding off others... then went after the geek trio...

I miss Buffy.  :(

 My friend named his child Zander since he and his wife loved the show so much.

That didn't even cross my mind!!

I have been taking the mental stats average and that is how many PP you can pull in a 24 hour period. Recently I added Con to the mix, still using the average. In the past I have run into problems with people not able to store as much as they can channel in a day. In my mind that make sense. Sometimes your eyes are bigger then your Stomach sort of approach. At 10th level you can do Mental Stat Average(MSA) +25%, level 15 MSA +50%. Every 5 levels you climb 25%. I stop at 300%. If they can store that much, they should have devised a battery of some sort.

Willow... its all about Willow...
