	I think it is fine basing preq. on ST rather than DX or IQ.  I am a 
little uneasy about the wholesale increase of MA, basically on the grounds
of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."  I agree that it doesn't slow you down that
much, but lowering your MA is much easier than complicated rules on cooking
in the hot sun, and how much mass you are carrying, etc.

	I think that the cost of talents in a series like that, should get 
increasingly more expensive as you go up the series, so your sprinting I
feel is too cheap.

	Just my two cents,  :)
