I should know, I helped him get charges with my Scion Shifter and gave him charges the good ole fashioned way (he killed me for I think 6 or 9 charges, can't remember).

I'm not saying that's wrong, per say, especially because you have SO much to lose as a drow AP if you fight carelessly/recklessly all the time, but you would hope for the Kharghurln type chances, the Cabdru versus the Outlander/Battle horde chances, and he didn't really take those until he had 200 charges or so.
