But I've always had a kind of soft-spot for the Translator.  If played right
the character could be very interesting.  Just so long as they're a blaster
in the party for him to hide behind.  I did an earlier post talking about
how they could get some very nice amounts of money, plus they'd be useful in
DP campaigns were there would be a lot of interaction with foreigners or
codes.

Besides..he'd be more interesting to play than a Forger..(the one package I
can't stand...boredom personified)
