"Airman" is not the same as "Soldier". I don't know what OTS involves
combat-wise, but the only combat training I had in Air Force basic was
firing 30 rounds out of an M-16 rechambered to fire .22s. I was not
expected to hit anything.

Has he made his living killing hand-to-hand or with poison?
(You're the one who said 1st Edition...)
(Note also that there is only *one* L15 Assassin in each AD&D
gameworld; if we have a "Grandfather of Assassins" in the real world,
he's probably *not* a public figure.)
(Carlos the Jackal, mebbe?)

He's more Lawful than Bush.

This...actually makes sense.
(Although considering the amount of unreasoning hate Chomsky gets in
some quarters, it might work to make him a Kender...)T
