John,
Most definitions of Talisman reference magical powers, trinkets, protection
etc. At 230 HP I'd say it had some "magical" power!

List:
Well, I got no responses to my question to the list, "What makes a TR6 a
Talisman?". Either the list is pissed-off at me ( within the realm of
possibility) or nobody knows. I e-mailed Darryl Uprichard at Racetorations
and this is his response. I still don't know where the name Talisman comes
from.
