I could I thought someone said a few years ago that Morrolan looked like a classic munchkin, himself. Witch, sorceror, wizard, Great Weapon, soulmate to a god, only 500 years old (given 3000 year lifespan), working on elder sorcery, funky dimensional window, friends with Sethra Lavode... Then there's Aliera Merit: Daughter of a Goddess Merit: e'Kieron line (can creat amorphia) Merit: 5 point Friendship (Sethra Lavode) plus the Great Weapon... And of course Vlad knows the Best Thief in the world, and what seemes to be the Best Psionicist in the world, plus Invisible Guy. Vlad's not really overpowered for his peer group. It's the peer group which is insane. > On the other hand, the various conjectures about Vlad's return over the last > couple of days have shown that there is still plenty of story-telling > potential there. I'm not overly concerned about it. "They sold Valabar's! Noooooo!" -xx- Damien X-)
