Heh. The borken record says "Youv'e just defined the hero System.  lost
infinite colelction of effects created from a base set of "operations". You
migth want to loo kat it if you haven't yet.  If nthoign else it will save
you a lot of reinventing the wheel in terms of ideas you can be :"inspired"
by, and it ash a LOT of play testing (more tehn 10 years worth sicen the
original release.)
