Update on a couple warriors you all helped create

Posted: Thu Sep 18, 2003 10:17 am

I finally got back the overviews for a set of rollups you all helped me with.

Of the 5, only one showed promise:

4-14-5-16-9-5-17

made him an AB: 9-14-5-21-9-5-21
He came back AdEx Attack (+3 or 4)

One other

12-5-6-10-9-13-15
went against the majority and made him a ST, with:
13-5-6-16-14-15-15
Came back with Ex Riposte (+4)
and bonused in Init (min +3)

The rest appear mode or close to it, and not spectacular.

Made one a scum, as suggested: 13-18-19-3-15-5-11
Got Great Endurance, Tremendous HP, and Tremendous Damage
He has no positive skills, except 6 Parry. I'll run him once to see if he can win (that is, if he can even find the arena), then DA as soon as he loses.

The other two are runnable (at least for me), but nothing spectacular

All in all, not quite the waste of 5 bucks, like some suggested. I'm awaiting the latest overviews for the better rollups I received.

The AB can be something alright, if I were guessing for one of mine I'd say only a couple non-offensive warriors have a chance (fast PS and PL) against him but there will be some rough days against some offensive styles. See what he learns, could be a monster in a handful of fights if the learns go well.

For now, be patient with the striker. He can't afford to be hit so the great rip skill level may be wasted for a long stretch. Initiative is great to have but even there you have to get a chance to swing to use it. (I can't say it's the best way with any surety but I'd train him to 15 will, 17 wit and 16 sp right off for the 3 decise skills before settling in to learn - but then, 8 of ten of my strikers learned something other than decise at least for the first 5 FE) If he gets through the first five fights he could have some very nice results through basic.

Um, that scum should certainly win most of his first fights. If he doesn't rise too fast in the rankings and especially if he trains well you can get 8-10 turns. Probably better to think 5-6 though, is my guess.

No worse, and maybe a couple better, than a lot I've seen. Good luck with them and thanks for the peek at the results.
