The two rookies I'm most interested in watching on my squad are....

12-9-6-17-17-12-11 PS. Bonused +3ob ATT but not much else. I still have to TV with this style......

21-13-9-9-17-4-11 WS. No obvious bonuses but does have TR damage. Looking forward to seeing if it will swing (and hit).

There are others who have better chances but I hope these are the most fun!

These are my two hopefuls:

Apprentices.
She is a striker with ST=21 CN=5 SZ=7 WT=21 WL=9 SP=10 DF=11.
She is left handed, is a genius, is quick and active, is very frail, is incredibly quick and
elusive, and does tremendous damage.

And

Apprentices.
He is a parry-riposte with ST=17 CN=14 SZ=4 WT=17 WL=7 SP=8 DF=17.
He is ambidextrous, is very intelligent, is very quick, has poor endurance, can carry a good
amount of weight, is incredibly quick and elusive, does good damage, and has an Expert in
parry (this o e RSI ran with out a strat so I have to get the FE removed to put him back to 4FE)

Interesting Champs entries, Buri! That WS is especially neat. I will be curious to see if he peaked in Adepts or whether he has more left in the tank for Champions.

DDarkheart's two Rookies look fun, too. I'll be rooting for the PS!

And Gentleben's Apprentices are no slouches.

----------

My favorite Apprentice came from another interesting replacement roll-up, like my Rookie PL.

This one was 10-6-4-21-12-6-11. Pretty crazy that I would considering running that warrior with only 70 points! I made it a 12-7-4-21-17-6-17 AB, named Guttersnipe of Dungeon Cell. He had a rough start to life, rolling up Little damage, but he managed two ST trains in two consecutive turns in the arena to get Normal damage. Now he is at 4 FE and ready for his first tourney ever. I'm excited to see what he can do (and if he can survive).

Here's hoping!

That striker looks filthy, Ben. The PR ain't bad either!

Due date is today!

(although they usually still accept tournament entries that arrive in the next couple of days)

----------

My favorite Initiate is a SL from the same team as Elf Cobbler, named FINGER SANDWICH of SHEWISH PICNIC. He is also a replacement. His original numbers were 8-9-5-16-12-14-6, which I made into an 11-9-5-21-17-14-7 SL. In the past, I've only had success with this model of SL when they have Good or Great damage, so I'm curious to see if he can succeed with only Normal. He does have some really excellent learning, though, having learned 23 of his 27 skills in Ini/Att/Dec. He goes into Initiates with an AE+4 in Ini, an AE in Att, and an AE+1 in Dec.

Will his skills succeed where his physicals fail? Did I waste a great name on a warrior who will never TV? I'm excited to find out!

I just realized I got a scum I want to run in this tourney, will RSI accept a submission if I fax it in thursday morning?

Probably, but it wouldn't hurt to send an email to Sandy letting her know you faxed one in so she can check the machine. Just a thought

Oh, and I am winning APPs

You are just so damned excited for this tourney, OAB! You and those Shewish Picnic guys...I hate running into them! Smile

If you're gonna make a 7 DF slasher, that's about the perfect set o' numbers. I've been trying to get that setup for years, have several close to it. I've found my 7 DF slashers, and I've made quite a few, always wind up disappointing/underwhelming in the end. I always think well they'll be great with the BS, they can use that! But it's slow as hell and they always do terrible with it, no crits. And if you don't throw crits with it don't come near it. I've never had a SL grad get the BS fave yet! I do think it's tough to TV without at least good damage, unless you get lucky with the crits/fave weapon and your matchups, of course. Best I've done with this model is a 6-3-1. Good luck with it, unless you're up against one of my losers!

I just love it when OAB talks like that!

The Consortium version of the above in this Appr Mailer is:
11-4-8-17-17-20-7 with good dmg

Another basher that we are soooooooo excited about, n Rookies, is:
13-5-18-21-9-13-5 awesome dmg and +Init
Oh that he swings first and hits!

Not too excited about any of mine but here is a couple .

She is a striker with ST=11 CN=10 SZ=8 WT=21 WL=9 SP=14 DF=11.
She is right handed, is a genius, is very quick and active, has poor endurance, can not take
a lot of punishment, can not carry a lot of weight, is incredibly quick and elusive, does
good damage, and has an Expert in decisiveness.

She is a wall of steel with ST=21 CN=6 SZ=9 WT=11 WL=21 SP=5 DF=11.

She is a aimed blow with ST=4 CN=3 SZ=12 WT=17 WL=21 SP=6 DF=21.

I have a couple that I am excited to see, but the first one was something that a few managers were excited to see, so it was enough for me to run it.

In rookies we have.....
He is a aimed blow with ST=9 CN=9 SZ=11 WT=17 WL=8 SP=10 DF=20.
He is right handed, is very intelligent, is highly coordinated, has little endurance, can
not take a lot of punishment, can not carry a lot of weight, is incredibly quick and
elusive, and has an Expert in attack.

This will be in champions....
She is a striker with ST=12 CN=4 SZ=8 WT=21 WL=20 SP=12 DF=7.
She is right handed, is a genius, is very active, is slightly uncoordinated, is very frail,
can carry very little weight, is very quick on her feet, does good damage, has an Advanced
Expert in initiative, has an Advanced Expert in attack, has an Advanced Expert in defense,
and has a Master in decisiveness.

And in Apps we have this one.....
She is a aimed blow with ST=12 CN=15 SZ=7 WT=17 WL=9 SP=3 DF=21.
She is right handed, is very intelligent, is quick and active, is incredibly quick and
elusive, and has an Expert in attack.

Maybe not great, but something that I look forward to seeing the results from.

OH!!

That is one sweet super-genius tank lunger! Did you get that rollup off a DA fight? Finding one that can pull those numbers is like winning the lottery I'm betting!

I am running a small tourney this time. 10 guys total I think.

Highlights:

Primus:

Sebastian
Bart Wellins - Another perfect AB that has about 10 speed and 1 ST left to go.

Contenders - I took a pass here. Not running any of my potential winners.

Eligibles - SKill busting a LU that was trained incorrectly. Looking forward to the fights but no expectations.

ADM - "Busting out" a 21WT 17WL LU that had trained to 20 WL. Nothing expected but will be fun.

Challengers -
Excited to see how Mephisto does. He TCed rookies like 10 years ago. He is getting close to turning the corner in Challengers.

Apprentices - Running a little damage trip 21 AB. Hoping for a TV. Didn't get normal damage on his 1st ST bump.

Good luck to everyone going for it this time!
