True. However, I would like to see this ability available to all
Titans, not just those with the trample ability. BTW, has anyone on
the list used the Titan experience rules? Are they any good or not?
Would they be worth including as optional rules into Net Epic? Again,
I realize that this is a bit out of sequence (my apologies, Peter).
It's just a thought that leapt into my head.
