>Q.    Book 2  p.11  4.9) ATTACK PRIORITY    please explain better.
>    Does a man OCV6 with sword have attack priority : 7 (for OCV); 9 (for

>    In what order do they strike: Bragga OCV6 with polearm; Able OCV16 with

>A.    [Weapon only (OCV is for Monster Weapon Equivilancy)], [Chuck, Bragga,

Just wonder how many enforce the attack priority table :)
I know in some cases I overlook it by accident or purpose..and use the nromal 
movement rules..

>Q.    Book 3 or 4    AGING - How does it affect abilities and skills?  Any
>ideas?
>A.    [No effect as rules are now.]    There are no rules for aging in the

>at a later daye on this subject.

Heh..that's easy when your dead stats go to 0 per aging :)
But seriously how old do faeery age up to?
I know dwarf and elves can grow very old elves even more so...but not sure on
