What a Christmas present, if wt and sp switched Id know what to do with this one, as it is the only thing IC that might have a decent 7 or 8 turns to fill a gap is some kind of poor speed st or ba. Any help would be appreciated. Willing to try anything - dont want a DA run for 5 to 6 turns.

Normally we will not respond without seeing that you have your own idea first, but since it is Christmas .......
AB = 5-8-12-11-15-12-21
BA = 11-7-12-10-15-12-17
ST = 10-7-12-11-15-12-17

We'd probably give #1 the preference.

Maybe a 7-7-12-13-16-12-17 LU? Confused

9-7-12-11-16-12-17 SL, burn to 9-7-12-13-17-12-17, bump ST if you need/want to. A decent arena warrior IMO.

I had a LU similar to this once, 11-4-11-13-17-11-17, who had the luckiest roll I've ever gotten, +16 overall bonus skills. I ran him in tourneys mostly, and it took forever to graduate, and he never did anything special. Retired in Primus.

I like Consortium's AB and that is the design I would heavily consider

Sorry I forgot to post my thoughts,

1) 11-9-12-11-12-12-17 ba should be able to go 1 maybe 1 1/2 rounds.
bump cn 1 for norm and probably st unless he gets blessed with g+, should be good for 5 to 8 turns with a decent win/loss.

or some mutant SL that can only swing once or twice and pass out.
7-7-12-11-10-16-21 even chance for vl, p, or norm end, which means at best1 if he is getting after it hard, 1 round max.

#1 would have a better chance doing what I need - (winning record after 5 to 8 turns then DA and pray for a good replacement) but something like 2 could be fun and if blessed in the dmg area - could be scary in the lower brackets.

York, I think you will be extremely disappointed in either of your choices, not that there are a ton of good options. I still think the AB is your best bet

I would echo that sentiment... also, a general word of advice; adding points to CN on an offensive warrior (BA, ST, SL, LU) is a total waste of points that could be better used elsewhere. Same goes for bumping CN. If you're expecting an offensive to get hit, he's already lost the fight.
Yeah yeah, I know, there's tank lungers out there and such, I'm talking conventional fighters. But this is something one of my mentors told me a long time ago, and it's served me well.
