Re: Armor from x-men type of brick.
Thanks for all the input, you have given me much food for thought.
As for the GM being a jerk, that was somewhat tongue in cheek as I know he will exploit it but I really don't think he will over do it.
As was pointed out, I took that limitation so it CAN be exploited and fully expect to loose it at least a couple of times through the campaign. But then again, that is why I have team mates.
