Hello Everbody

This is my first post, so be gentle.

Personally, I'm beginning to hate First Move. The Gunner in my group
repeatedly rolls very high. In the last game session, His final intiative
was 45. I watched him roll it. He's done this several times now.  Two
Armeggedon Suits turned into a red mist in one turn. (He also rolls
depressingly high on damage.) Is there a maxium number of actions you can
have? Like in Deadlands.

Also, I have to disagree with the Goliath with 10 wounds. In the description
it says: "Powerful: Add +5 to Strength rolls". That would mean to me. The +5
is only added to damage or feat rolls. Please tell me if I'm wrong about
this, or how you cope with a Goliath player if it's true.
