Just as a point of possible interest: I don't think there's a real value to the designing of characters with the intent that their point value be a round number. I have been known to do the same thing (in my write-ups on the old GoO boards), but I try to stay away from it now, preferring to just assign values that feel right and let the points fall where they may. The tendency to tighten up the design while going back over it in an effort to smooth out the point total can be duplicated with an ordinary review process. JMO... certainly, the aesthetic appeal of round numbers might be reason enough for some.

The Official Handbook is not in my library anymore, and my memory of it is quite vague. I notice that you don't accord Warren many of the advantages normally associated with Flight (particularly at high altitude) such as: Acute and/or Telescopic Vision, Doesn't Breathe, Nictating Membrane, Temperature Tolerance, and Vacuum Support. I imagine at least some of those were left off intentionally... Were they all?
