I agree Ray, was just trying to see if it was just him, thought it probably
was. He tends to judge characters on how much stuff they have (like feats,
and hit points) and how quickly they can kill stuff. I haven't shown him the
damage lists, but I know I'm going to hear whinges about the weapons all
being the same (I know they're only the same by category, and that's
accurate, but means he doesn't have a huge gun to aim for). Plus the lack of
a fully auto rule, I'd love to get rid of him, but he's one of the founders
of the group and we'd struggle to have enough if he wasn't there.

Ah well, once more unto the breach :)
