Hi Melvin,

I own both editions of The Final Arc, and concur that the information presented in these editions are informative and vivid. Yet, I believe Jack could make the forum more effective if he posts a checklist that will benefit players bent on self-improvement. Here is a sketch of what I had in mind:

CHECKLIST FOR HITTING

STANCE
__Aspect 1
__Aspect 2
__Aspect 3
LAUNCH
__Aspect 1
__Aspect 2
__Aspect 3
INITIATION
__Aspect 1
__Aspect 2
__Aspect 3
APPROACH
__Aspect 1
__Aspect 2
__Aspect 3
CONTACT
__Aspect 1
__Aspect 2
__Aspect 3

Please bear in mind that there may be more than three important aspects that are germane to a specific category. The format that I used above was just an illustration.

Cheers!
