Re: Hirudo (the same thread...)

[Wright Frazier <khelek@ns1.cioe.com>]

Also don't forget the 1 pt of exceptional str the hirudo will have,
its a rank 1 spell, and he'd be a fool not to have it, and
the inferior strength the adventurer might have from wearing
plate armor...6 to 7 die str check there if they have wrestling.
rank 4 hirudo will kill about anyone.

I agree on the vote at the next GM meeting for'em.
Which brings me to my next point...lets have a GM metting this
coming saturday, the 27th at 6pm at Stewart center.
