That's dumb.We're doing a freeform rp; all it is is description. Plus we got the anime flavor going meaning the only thing it might affect would be the hapless NPCs who are cannon fodder to the heroes/central characters , but between characters they're more or less equal in performance save for some plot event.Also really why are you guys being so damn pedantic about dumb details in a fricken mecha anime derived game? Shoot dude, we're like your only players with actual sheets on this thread so far and now you want to seriously argue over this instead of rolling with it and playing the actual game?
