Re: regen mutate

[Steve Ames <steve@ns1.cioe.com>]

I'd vote to hell with it all... play it as it falls :) And I agree
that there shouldn't an eep cost. too much of the manual is there
to compensate for subpar GMs who can't maintain consisency without
codifying every little detail. 

I believe the errata was released to make players pay eeps for
what some were already doing. Good goal. The actual result was
that a lot of mutates that GMs wouldn't do because they didn't
like the idea (and that players didn't even try because they believed
it was munchkinism) suddenly started happening because the rules
said you could.

It is my contention that just like most systems, ours is self
correcting (it either corrects itself or it dies, obviously we
still live). Any external stimulus just disrupts the balance
in upredictable ways. Leave the rules alone and let corrections
come from within.
