Pleased to see this. To quote my friend Mark, from the brainiac list:
Around here, the ongoing problem is MPNS hobbits
(stands for Murderous Psycho Ninja Sniper). For a beginning hobbit,
ST:4, DX:17, IQ:9, Thrown weapons, huge handfuls of sha-ken. Racial
bonuses kick in, and pretty much every one of the sha-ken is likely
to hit *and* every one does +1 damage. Unarmored opponents are
shredded; if the hobbit backs off a few hexes to run up the distance
adjDX penalty, half of the handful will miss the first target - and
go on to take out the *next* target. For armored opponents, the
head-shot rules still come in handy if the hobbit also carries a
dagger. And then there's weapon poison...
Ah the good times we had though.
