Style: Start with +0.4 for the Klein bottle, and another +0.25 for expanding the stats to include charisma. Top it off with another +0.5 for the brave choice to take low stats instead of a default piece. The rule doesn't restrict other players, which gets -0.5. The total here is +0.65. Reflections: Strength, Magic, Charisma. What shall we do with these lovely concepts? And we are starting to clog the path again. Glenn E.
