Re: Rating PD
I don't so much mind Niefel having a weak PD as I do the inability to strong it up with a lot of investment. That's the rub for me-I don't expect the "average" Jotun to be able to count to two using both hands, but they've got some *really* clever bastards at the top-they were able to trick the Aesir on many occasions, and Odhinn (Wotan or however we're spelling his name this year) went to them for wisdom. They even intermarry *with* the Aesir on a regular basis.
They've traditionally got access to a lot of deep powers (like shapeshifting and illusion) and strong allies (like dragons, trolls, dwarves, mountain, fire, and sea giants, Hel, and Loki and his kids).
So yes, I can see the bottom-rung Jotuns being as weak as they are, but the top end should be appropriately gigantic.
