LOL! That's why I said for you guys to talk the characters 
over. I'd have played Issac as highly educated (in Medicine 
anyway), but not too good at coming up with independent or 
creative ideas. His low social class...hum, body odor? ;)

Rats! Now you've given away my secret plan. Get the PC's I 
don't like on the operating table and let Fumbles...oops...,I 
mean Issac, take care of them for me.

Bruce if you want to play around with the stats, it's okay 
with me.
