: In the manual. GURPS, on the other hand, comes to
: something of a compromise, leaning somewhat towards
: the Myth2 interpretation, saying that "The most
: common belief is that most Shades, as powerful as they
: are, don't weild magic-weaving skills sufficient to

Right, this information is not particularly new or outstanding in any way. I therefore dismissed it and went where the contraversy started.
: And Archer, PLEASE don't go into another rant about how
: GURPS is useless! Hell, it's even making the same
: point as you!
GURPS wasn't describing any new information, and therefore it was LEFT OUT of my discussion, not put in. Not having to use GURPS as much as possible is always a good idea, it only being good for emergencies IMO. Make sure you understand me before you go off on something.
