   Attribute Points.  41 is the base number of AP's, plus three from
handicaps.  I don't list it as "44" because I ruled that AP's from handicaps
do not count towards the experience table.

   Yes, I have that issue.  I didn't like the idea of bunching up different
creatures into one spell.  I liked the original idea in TFT of distinct
summon spells, which relates to Images, Illusions, and disbelieving in them.
Yzor thinks, "I really should simply create the standard (and very
effective) octopi-with-three-swords illusion, but there's no such summon
spell, so my opponent will /know/ it's an illusion, so I'd better make an
illusion of a myrmidon or bear -- just to keep him guessing."  Ron's group
summon spells would take away some of this angst, which I feel is an
important part of the game.  Interesting article, but not for me.

   I thought I saw in the list archives: Life of the author, plus 50 years
after his or her death.  But I could be wrong.

   I think it's perfectly okay to make characters more surviveable, just as
long as all players' characters benefit.  Then it's not an advantage and
game balance is preserved.

   Charles, looks like you and I are on the same wavelength on this.
