Sorry, had the other kickass paladin female on the brain whose name escapes me for the moment.
I saw the logs, some of them at least. I was in the midde of reading a lot of them when the logs dissappeared from here yesterday...I'll pick up on more of them once the archives are linked.
I wasn't sure how much healing you lose out on if you have more protections, I'll have to keep that in mind when I do ever some sources. I just hate the idea of being gimped from the outset just because I haven't had the time to find some of the preps I will end up needing at some point. Glad to hear that for the most part that won't bea problem as long as my empowerment efforts get the ball rolling otherwise.
