Re: Mods (open discussion)

["Michael Kilgore" <khaakon@lycosmail.com>]

Wish my windows didn't go kuputz on me a couple weeks ago I would have
included what was said on the subject.  What I remember from way back when
this list was started was a discussion on combat mod and limitations.
Someone had proposed DVs as the limit (ie CM cannot be greater than CDV).
The flaw I see was that CDV flucuate with equipment and magic.

As I said, I think I missed something.

Thanks,
MIke
