Not sure what to do with it, hate to DA without giving it a chance.
This is what I'm thinking:
17-6-8-7-19-12-15 Lunger/Striker
17-6-8-9-17-12-15 Striker
21-8-8-7-17-9-14 Basher/Striker

Hard to choose. What you guys think?

15-6-8-5-13-9-14 = 15-7-8-11-17-9-17 or 17-7-8-11-17-9-15 works for me too...probably LU

I think I'd go 15-6-8-11-19-10-15 SL, BA or LU (probably SL) and bump everything once or twice, but not right away. I like the great axe for damage, even if you get hosed with 'normal' the GA will make up for it, be it BA or SL. I like the DF and I think this is the best way to get the most out of it. The WL can be bumped to 21, the speed to 11, and eventually the WT to 13. Everything else can be ignored; he's good to go as is. Well, as good as he's going to be. Wink

I choose DA without hesitation.

Oh, we'd play it. We'd do something overt, like
15-6-8-5-19-9-20
or
17-6-8-5-19-9-20
or
16-6-8-6-19-9-20
burning it, of course.
style?
AB or BA, depending on the arena - or how we felt at the moment.

I'd roll it: 17-11-8-5-17-9-17 TP/WS.

Solid arena guy.

17-6-8-5-19-9-20 AB for me

My thought is
17-6-8-11-17-10-15 as an offensive, maybe 21 str/7 wit

I'd roll it and take a look on most teams.

15-6-8-5-13-9-14 ----->15-6-8-11-17-9-17 AB with a point left over. I'd go with SP but could go CN for survivability or ST to try and assure good damage or take a shot at great damage.

I would run it! Kind of a Strike Blow.... include Decise tactic if you wish, as long as it is learning some.

17-6-8-5-19-9-20 AB for me

I agree. This is the design I thought of too.

Okay, I'm going to reveal another chapter of ignorance in my DM playbook. Wink

One, I have always thought that using tactics for AB's wasn't smart. They don't generally respond well to 'surprises' such as a sudden change in the opponent's strategy (based on going Desparate). So as a rule, I have thought that it was wiser to avoid using tactics for AB's. In fact, I never do. Have I been missing the boat?

Second, I KNOW that low wit warriors suck at Decisiveness, even when using the tactic. They practically pose for paintings while getting clobbered. Wouldn't this WT be way too low for that? DEC needs a 17+ WT to be effective (IMO) although a 15 WT with a 13+ SP is manageable.

Obviously I'm no genius at design, and some may argue that I'm 'jacking' the thread, but I'm not trying to do that. I am curious about this design option, or rather, the thoughts behind it. Anyone want to share with the rest of the class? Confused

I have never heard the low wit decise thing. I think the skills are just that skills. If you have a 3 wit and 16 decise or a 21 wit and 16 decise it is is exactly the same thing. I have never seen a difference anyway.

I have had plenty of low wit speed bashers do quite well jumping people.

15-11-8-7-17-9-17 BA wielding WS for me, though the 17-9 is tempting too.

Some seldom use tactics; some often use tactics - they can help or hurt any style; Consortiumites seldom run a strategy without at least one tactic

Don't you believe that low wit/decise old wife's tale; not true
