Im kind of new here not sure what to do with these 2

9-13-9-13-13-10-3 thinking 9-17-9-17-17-10-5 lunger

16-14-9-3-9-3-16 really dont know what to do with this one.

I see a few options for the first one:

11-13-9-17-17-10-7 LU
11-17-9-17-17-10-5 LU (scum)
15-13-9-17-17-10-3 BA

I'd think the first setup is proobably the most viable of the 3.

The second one I only see one viable option and it would be a TP scum with stats something like this:

16-19-9-3-15-3-19 and burn to 17-21-9-3-17-3-21 which should give you an expert in Parry.

Hope that helps some.

For the first one, your design is right-on, except I think you really want 7 DF to be well suited to the SS. 9-15-9-17-17-10-7 should do it.

As for the second, I would make it:

16-14-9-3-9-3-16 --> 17-16-9-3-15-3-21 AB

One of the neat things about ABs is that even when they don't have the wit to use most weapons, they can use the Fist pretty well. Load this guy up with as much armor as he can carry, use the Fist with an off-hand weapon for parrying (Dagger, Shortsword, Longsword, or Scimitar), and run him with moderate to low offensive effort and activity level and he should do fine in the arena. He's going to be a slow learner though, so if you aren't enjoying him or you don't have the patience for him, its no great loss to DA him and look for something better.

OAB has a good idea on the first one so I'll offer you an alternative on the second one:

16-14-9-3-9-3-16 -----> 17-20-9-3-15-3-17 TP or 16-20-9-5-15-3-16 TP the second one might be a little easier for a newer manager. The 5 WT will give you the oppurtunity to use the Longspear as a TP weapon so you can find out it really can work and may be (the 5 WT) the difference in many fights of learning 1 skill rather than none. Burn the PAR skills you'll get at 17 ST and 17 DF, you'll eventually want to get that WL to 17 also.

One major rule is if you can get a 21 DF take it and make it an aimer. This one, however, may be a tough one for a young manager to win with. Or maybe not. The TP will however win a pretty good percentage of matches and it's not too hard to right 1-1-3 parry across all minutes. As it developes you can tweak the numbers based on whether it's learning ATT, DEF,RIP or just PAR.

Oh and since your new to the forum there's good info at http://www.terrablood.com/

if you have not found it yet.

#2
19-19-9-3-15-3-16 TP and burn, burn, burn (lovely at 21-21-9-5-17-4-17)

I think you're dead on with the first one. Should be a decent tank, and could be very good if it comes back with good damage.

The second one is easy. 17-14-9-5-15-3-21 TP/AB

This could go either way, it just depends on your preference.

9-13-9-13-13-10-3, OAB's 9-15-9-17-17-10-7 LU looks like your best bet. You could also go 11-13 ST/CN and go SL or piker. I'd train ST to 13 as a piker for better weapons and carry.

16-14-9-3-9-3-16, try 17-14-9-9-15-3-17 WS, I'd probably work WT and WL both up 2 over the first 10 turns or so, a solid alternative IMO.

My only real addition to the comments above is that I would be tempted to push strength to 11 on the first one, especially as a lunger. Two reasons:

1. Longsword. You can use it without the necessary strength, and I would do it if you go 9. SS won't break into plate well. But you will already lack the deftness. I would prefer not to lack both the str and deftness.
2. 11 str usually gives normal carry - as long as you have a little con, which you do. Considering that you are making a tank lunger having the ability to wear a little armor isn't a bad thing.

9-13-9-13-13-10-3 = 11-15-9-17-17-10-5 Lunger.
Live with the deftness.

Both of these can be decent to very good warriors.
