However, the rule is inconsistant with itself, so I must rule it invalid. Specifically, the phrase "...either ...and..." If that AND had been an OR, then it would make sense. That is too bad, because I liked the rest of the rule. Invalid Style: +1 for Mouser, +1 for a declawed cat with an unusual defense. +1 for being on themed with good restrictions. -0.5 for misspelling -0 for logic(being rule invalid is enough of a penalty for the logic flaw) Style:+2.5 Chris, who used to have a cat named Mouser.
