Re: (TFT) Strength of Stone --> Give stone armor!

[Rick Smith <rsmith@lightspeed.ca>]

Just saying what I do,

Is it so bad that stone has 100 ST / cm?  Fundamentally 
the question is, is this something that needs to be 
changed?  What would be the most fun?

What does the list feel?  Is tunneling too easy?
