        Yeah, but the odds of him being anything other than a Level 0 character
are pretty low.  Most Level 0 types barely even have three or four
hitpoints, and having only two is pretty common.  I don't think "hacker" is
an official AD&D character class (and even if it were we'd probably only
get 1 or 2 HP per level anyway, we're even less active than wizards).
        What I'm saing is, maybe even 2 points of damage is too much, unless we're
going to count it as stun damage or something....

                Brad, who likes irrelivant BS :)
