[Rq-rules] Funny chaotic critters

[Stephen Perrin]

The local (in Southern California - I was still in Northern Califironia so 
this is hearsay) RQ campaign many years ago had a cult that could induce a 
chaotic feature under the complete control of the caster. It became a 
standard operation procedure for the bad guys to infect a horde of Rubble 
Runners with the exploding feature, then send them after the PCs.

It got so that no one ever wanted to see a Rubble Runner again.
