that's who I was thinking about for use with imbuements. though not as strong. :D (though now I am thinking not so much in this world).

true, but I am not on for subtle (>.o) I do know what you mean....hmmm maybe not iron magic then?

If your abilities focus on imbuements/advantages, we can negotiate on the "100-points for skills" guideline. Alternately, I can allow the movie-kung-fu skills without the TbaM prerequisite.

I like both ideas, its hard to raise ST so he can do damage and carry things like I want him to (He is strong ^,^). and allowing the not needing TbaM helps. with the link above you should have a better picture of what I am talking about with imbuements. basically all the "powers/spells" he knows are just combination imbuements:

Telescoping reinforced cutting strike: Iron blade

Telescoping reinforced impaling strike: Iron Spear/spike

Telescoping reinforced forceful blow: Iron Hammer

Reinforced Weapon: Iron skin

thats the only 4 Imbuements he would know (maybe plus penetrating strike to get pass DR better)

so those plus imbue advantage makes a minimum of 44pts (40 for imbue 4 for the 4 skills)

I have always favored skill-based systems and trained skills count for more with me than innate traits. You know, default-level swimming rolls are just tragic...

For further suggestions...

and I now put at least 1 point in all of those.
