Considering my niche is pretty much limited to 'kill it with lasers in your choice of delicious flavors', I'm not going to complain when most of my limited XP comes from combat - if I had gotten another turn outside before the ogres broke and split, I would have gotten a nice RP-speech off by using my only social skill, but that's not a huge issue.<br/><br/>I do disagree with the bizzarely named penalties (and to a much lesser extent, the oddly named bonuses, makes it hard to know what you're actually rewarding), but it's good that you already rescinded that. I don't mind being underpowered for a bit, especially since if my desired PrC comes through story-and-mechanic wise, my power level will rapidly ascend to OVER NINE THOUSAND...within the aforementioned niche of 'kill it with lasers', at least.
