In my mind that would have defeated the purpose of the role entirely though. Many of the powers that were there are powers mostly because you know they are possible.

I think if I ever have an ability or game mechanic like that again, the question to take from this was:

Was the mechanic too punative or not?

It seems that more people liked the ability than didn't like it, but alot more people thought it was too punishing vs those who thought it was ok.

I think part of the fun of games like this one are the suprises that catch you off guard (but don't imbalance the game). So I doubt I would want to announce something like that being a power in the game.
