Please, I DO like the Double Entendre talent, and the
concept of a highly-limited extension of a
past-master's lethality.  DE is very cool.  And it
gets my approval, but not as a means of 'balance'. 
For the one IQ slot the warrior spends on it, his
magician chum is getting Possession or some such.

I gather it _is_ broke, in campaigns where the
characters can absorb the -4DX.  But I don't think
it's the rule that needs tweaking.  I'm sure there's
challenge aplenty in such a campaign, and dislike the
system-wide 'fun tax' that a rule tweak represents,
when these campaigns should be well equipped to repair
their problems without such a tweak.
