Well, he's decided to take a different tack to the Mad Scientist character.  The
present idea for the character is that he and the party travel around the West
in a Zeppelin (Blimp?  Di-rigible?  Which is more appropriate for the setting?),
giving him access to his laboratory wherever they go.  (Fear not, I cut my teeth

Thus: Two more questions.  Hopefully, that can be answered by morning since, as
the title suggests, I'm going to my
not-so-local-but-everything's-cheaper-than-cover-price game shop.

1)  What level of Belongin's would this be?

2)  Earlier mention was made of the Smith & Robards catalog containing air
vehicles.  If they've got details on such an airship, it's moved from the "Be
kinda nice to have" list to "What I'm getting tomorrow" list.  Does it?
