Early Sanderson: Take a shot every time he says "Towered" to describe a tall person.
Later Sanderson: Take a shot every time he says "Lurch" Or, actually don't. Too dangerous.
There are several examples in The Witcher books where Geralt is beaten by 5 regular dudes with sticks. He is basically a super-soldier, but Numbers matter a lot.
In the Shadow of Lightning was Great! Recommend.

Finished a new monster design. This one was challenging to figure out. The head and tail came first, but I couldn't figure out the middle and claws. After I realized he was a biker/punk it started to make sense.
Bought a Drawing tablet and teaching myself digital art. Drew these for a Design Contest for a Indie Game called Laxidaze. Monster in this game are animals, or machines augmented by nano-tech.
