Certainly does - it's not a problem at the moment anyway. I have a three
person group at the moment - a Blaster, a Bargainer (w/Mimic totem) and a
Teleporter. Haven't run into any problems yet - currently going through 'The
Ripper'.

Has anybody else run into problems with the above types?

One of the things I noticed while looking through the books was that
Teleporters can be very nasty in h2h combat with the 'Teleport Foe' trick -
something like 5d6+10 damage without armour protection on a successful
barehanded hit...
