When Hirudo were voted on

["Kris Ames" <kris@cioe.com>]

Well,

It seems no one posted on the results of the voting when Hirudo were
indeed voted on this summer, but as you can see in this post they were
voted on during a GM meeting on 6/27.

I personally remember Dan saying at the time (obviously he could have
changed his mind)  "With these new changes to Hirudo I think they are
playable for local campaign use although I won't be changing them in the
book".

Guys,  We really, really need to have all voting posted to this list and
Dan's yeah or neah also posted with in one week of any vote.  That way we
have this all documented and there can be no question later (like we are
having now).

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.
