This is cool - a bit like Longshot way back in the X-Men

Maybe a bonus to strength for purposes of range instead of the init.
bonus? Just a suggestion.

Although I suppose you could just use this instead =)

I'm just thinking about how bad this one could get if you take all the
edges that give you bonuses to persuasion - one of the players in my
group took a bargainer and made him pretty, famous, gave him the voice,
he may have had a code of honour...ended up with bonuses up the wazoo,
then he took the trick which allows you to make a new friend every time
you succeed a friendly persuasion by 10 or more...he had _lots_ of
friends by the end of the adventure =)
