Yeah, but... just _look_ at the description of the different levels of
stress checks. Sure, I figure Eponymous deals with absolutely hard-core
shit all the time; that accounts for about 5 hardened marks in each
meter (which is pretty damned amazing). The level 6 checks are pretty
out-there... he's probably seen a few of those, too. Level 7? Hey, he's
Eponymous. He's _done_ that. But levels 8-10 are just ridiculous.
Really. And he would have to have been through at _least_ fifteen of
them, all told (assuming he passed a Mind test all fifteen times.) 

So that's all I'm saying.
