Feat names (an immature aside)

Having now run my first session using HERO WARS (and enjoyed it thoroughly), I do have to make one suggestion to the Issaries folks about feat names.

Specifically... <shakes head sadly>... when the game gets around to the "re-print" or "new edition" stage, could you *pleeeease* rename the Orlanth Thunderous feat "Snatch Breath" to, say, "Steal Breath" or something else innocuous and practical?

As it stands, it took me several minutes to get play going again after the total breakdown into giggles that this feat name induced. The poor character who used it is now probably doomed to be known as Thorvald Snatch-Breath for the rest of his life.

(For anyone who doesn't understand why this is funny: "snatch", used as a noun, is British slang -- and increasingly American slang, too --  for the vagina. It's not that it's all *that* funny by itself: it was just the sheer unexpectedness that got us giggling when Thorvald's player said "I use my Snatch Breath feat to weaken the invaders!")

I really do think "Steal Breath" is clearer...
