Ok I was going over Arsenal last night and I see that now I can have quickdraw for 2 BP or 4 karma...

Boy I feel stupid having Quickdraw as an adept power now; I could have spent that .5 on Killing Hands. Or Armor. Or just about anythign else. And all it would have cost me is my 1/1 joygirl contact.

*sigh*

The only upside is I get to see if Throw Person manuver uses my strength bonus for throw items (I'm a throw adept and that +8 would be great for chucking people down hallways). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/love.gif)

Anyone have thoughts on if the Adept power is inherently better and I'm just missing something?
Any argements that say I can't chuck people better than a troll?
