Which is why I said "change" rather than "fix".  You want it to drain the 
gnome account, I don't.  Personal preferences.  Which is why I personally 
voted to shelve it.

As it stands now, the effects are: A bunch of Big Rocks appear.  Wow.  How 
exciting.  What I'm asking for is something a little more interesting.  
Fire.  Destruction.  Maybe smaller-sized meteorites that can be carried.  
Again, it's a request, not a dealbreaker, for this prop.

Your prop does three things.  The first can be covered by rectification, so 
it in itself is neither good or bad.  The second does one thing that is 
covered by logic (you can't inherit from something that doesn't exist), and 
another that I don't feel necessary.  The third appears entirly pointless to 
me.

I am not referring to my Uber.  Nor am I referring to any other class 
structure, per se.  I'm referring to how we already have things in this 
game, and having half the rules written one way and half written the other 
is, in my opinion, a Bad Thing?.  Part of the reason we have problems now is 
that different things were written with different ways of doing things in 
mind, we don't need yet another way of doing things.
