DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well I'm off. Assur has hopes that I will recapture my Rookie magic in my champ
tourney. It is certainly possible, but I'll be happy just surviving and gaining
immortality.
Once I get that, my plan is to start my own reality show, one that really is
realistic!

SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt DRAGONHEAD will ever be the same. I want to know who's buying the drinks for
who tonight at The Dripping Blade, seeing as TWISTED SISTERS' 86-102-8 has earned
them 16th place in the ranks. Now, what did these guys have for breakfast this
morning? FEAR FACTORY 16 has turned a 1-0-0 into 28th place from 46th. Give me the
recipe! I understand that The Dripping Blade is buying the drinks for DEADLY RAGE
tonight, to honor their rise to 29th after this turns 1-0-0. Hmmm. Our condolences
(or sneers, as the case may be) go out to FEAR FACTORY for their drop to 43rd from
31st. A 0-1-0 can do that. It doesn't rain, but it pours for DYNASTY WARRIORS this
turn, a 0-1-0 causing a 22 flight drop in the team rankings. Hand that team a dry
towel. DUCHY OF REN must be either in pain, or numb, having dropped from 30th to
48th this turn, with a 0-1-0 acting as the weight. Our condolences (or sneers, as
the case may be) go out to BASH BROS TIRES for their drop to 50th from 34th. A 0-1-0
can do that. It doesn't rain, but it pours for BASH BROS DISEASE this turn, a 0-1-0
causing a 28 flight drop in the team rankings. Hand that team a dry towel. The BASH
BROS FISHERMAN guild has had a 3-0-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future.
You never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, CLEANING fought
DEADHOUSE GATES and gained 28 points and contributed to BASH BROS FIREPLACE's 2-0-1.
DISCOVERY TOYS has lost to CAPTURED ORC, falling 20 points, while helping make BASH
BROS MLM a 0-3-0 turn. Due to his absence and inability to defend the throne,
UNREALITY has lost the title of Duelmaster. We should ask CLEANING about the thrill
of victory, and what being the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, he's now the one to
ask. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the
table at The Dripping Blade?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. I also notice that the OUTLAWS stable
was the most avoided team this turn. Come on DRAGONHEAD, what are you afraid of?
And avoiding OUTLAWS more than any other team we find BASH BROS SNOW. DRAGONHEAD,
are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged warrior
this turn was BASH BROS BEER's warrior NOT THE REAL THING. More fighters challenged
him than challenged the Duelmaster!
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. ON MY BOOKSHELF has lost DEADHOUSE GATES to the arena in the sky, but they
don't seem to be worried. What do you expect from 17-19-1? Is it really true that
DRAGONHEAD has more dishwashers per capita that fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your
swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to
paper-- Alarond the Scribe

An Informative Guide to the Parry-Riposte Style
composed by Sir Jessie Jest
Greetings to all. After many weeks of compiling a database with informationon
the parry-riposte, I would like to thank the many managers that donated their time and
effort to make this project work. We all hope that many managers benefit from these
efforts to further the interest in this style.
This article can also be found in the Duel Masters Web page on the internet at:
http://www.netis.com/johnh/dm.htm
Also, for those of you who have e-mail access, I invite you to join in on the DM
discussions on the Roundtable. The roundtable is a forum that discusses anything that
has to do with Duelmasters. It is made up of many other DM managers like yourself,
and will answer any question you have about the game. To join the Round Table send e-
mail to listserv@ambience.com.au with the message "Subscribe Duel-L Your Name".
*** *** ***
Parry-ripostes, or rippers, can be very deadly if trained and managed
effectively. Rippers aren't as widely understood as the more common high skill base
styles are. They do draw managers who like more of a challenge. It is not a style
for quick fix, so to speak. They start with much less skill and development than
many other styles. This means they require a much longer development time before
reaching that successful stage. Rippers are not good short-term warriors. They lack
what it takes to get many wins early in their career. When you make a ripper, you're
in for the long haul.
When making a ripper, it is good to think about making him survive through Basic.
Rippers have the second highest death rate, with aimed blows being the first. The
main reasons for this, I believe, are poor warrior design and/or poor strategy.
Rippers, even if designed exactly the same, vary more from one to another than most
styles in general. The aimed blow, I believe, is the only other style that varies
more widely from one to another than the ripper. Finding your ripper's likes and
dislikes may be quite a task, indeed.
The first thing to get a good ripper is warrior design. His starting stats will
greatly effect his starting skill bases as well. Since rippers starting skill base
is lower than some of the other styles, getting as many bonus skills from initial
stats is very important. These bonus skills are given most in the WIT and DEFTNESS
stats. Odd numbered stats are where most of the bonus skills are at, such as 13, 15,
17 and 21. There are no bonus stats to be gained at 19 in any stat except speed.
Good rippers will have a minimum of 32 points between wit and deftness. 34 or more
points is preferred. 17 or 21 WT and 17 or 21 DT makes the best rippers.
Ripper stats:
Strength: 7-11 gives you the range you need for all ripper weapons.
Con: 10-14 helps keep your ripper alive and helps with encumbrance. A wise
manager would put any left over points here, rather than speed. We'll
get to that in a minute.
Size: 3-11, no bigger. It's a waste of points and kills your defense, which
is one thing that will keep your ripper alive.
Wit: 15, 17 or 21 -- No less. You need the bonus skills and the quick
learning to make up for the lower skill base.
Will: 15+ Not necessary, but to be successful quicker in ADM get at least a
15.
Speed: 5-9 Speed is the most disputed thing among ripper managers. It is
split 50/50 on its contribution to a rippers success. I believe any
extra points left over after adding to odd number WT, WL, and DF should
go to CON, not speed. It makes no difference whether you get those
skills gained from speed now, or later on. They are still the same
number of skills. Those few skills won't make as much difference
now, as CON does in keeping the ripper ALIVE. A dead ripper's bases
don't matter much, now, do they? ;)
Deftness 15,17, or 21 no less. This is a MUST. Deftness gives the most bonus
skills out of all the stats. Unlike other styles, which start out
with higher bases, a ripper needs all the bonuses he can get. Don't
skimp here. Also, many of the rippers weapons require high deftness.
The average skill bonuses you get for the parry-riposte style are as follows:
(Taken from the "Ween Chart" that includes decimals)
Skill Bonus
====== ======
Attack -1.6
Parry -0.1
Defense -3
Initiative 3.1
Decise 1.8
Riposte 4.6
Naturally, rippers get more bonus skills in the riposte area. To help
understand that chart, round the numbers up to the nearest whole number. Example,
Decise 1.8 = 2 extra decise skills. There is no way to predict exactly what your
ripper's starting skills will be. But you can get a good idea when your get your
overview back by using the skill chart which is not listed here. There is the luck
factor, which is a random number that RSI gives to make sure no two warriors are
exactly alike. Some are blessed and get more than average skills, whereas others get
considerably less. Rippers in general seem to get LESS more than MORE skill in the
luck factor part of character generation.
Listed below are some examples of actual rippers in ADM and Primus.Please take
note of the + or extra skills these rippers received with thestats they have. Notice
the amount of extra skills they received from high WIT and DEFTNESS. The luck factor
had some play in these startingbases. These are also examples of when the luck factor
gives you MOREstarting base skills. The one at the bottom, with the -2 skills, is an
exampleof bad luck. The average skill base totals is +4.8 or 5 skills rounded up.That
means that if you get a ripper with more than + 5 skills to his base,he is lucky.
Less than + 5 he is unlucky, depending on his stats. If theripper has less than a 32
total points WIT and DEFTNESS, his chancesof getting less than +5 is MUCH higher. If
you get more than +5 skills withless than 32 points in your WIT and DEFTNESS total,
you a very lucky.One exception is when you have a 30 WIT/DEFTNESS total and a 21
WILL.Then you should get +5 or better to your skill base. If not, you are unlucky.

12-10-8-17-11-9-17 40(-3) 45(0) 40(+4) 30(-4) 15(-4) 70(+5); -2
The numbers in the parenthesis are the + or - the projected skill base for that
set of numbers. Example: +5 means that he got 5 more than the average projection.
Pluses are good and minuses are bad.
A simple method to see whether or not your ripper was lucky is to add the WIT and
DEFTNESS together. If it is above 32 then you should get + 5 as an average, and any
more than +5 is lucky. The higher the WIT/DEFTNESS total the higher the average.
This is a quick guesstimate to see if your ripper was unlucky at getting a good number
starting skills. It is not an exact way to tell. You can tell more accurately by
using the skill chart that lists the skill bonuses, and the style modifiers.
Good WIT statements for a good ripper include high order ATTACK, DEFENSE, and
PARRY. An initiative statement is nice, but harder to come by for a ripper, unless
you give up one of those 3 up there. If you get ATTACK, DEFENSE, PARRY and INITIATIVE
high order you have a GREAT ripper. Rippers almost always get some kind of Riposte
statement. Riposte isn't really as important as those 4 up there are in the long run.
Decise skill is meaningless to a ripper.
ARMOR
-----------
Rippers should wear heavy armor at the beginning of their career. It is better
to run a ripper defensively or `scum' him for awhile until he gains more skill. When
he starts getting his experts in defense and parry, then you can take off some armor.
Rippers are more like to DIE in their first 10-15 fights than later on when they have
more skill and experience.
Some people don't like playing defensively, and run them offensively at the
beginning. Rippers are long term projects and are not ready for this. They lack the
skill and experience to do this in the beginning. For this reason, and the fact most
people don't put much armor on them at the start of their career, is why so many
rippers DIE. Putting heavy armor on them and playing them defensively, increases the
ripper's chance to make it to ADM ALIVE. I've put rippers in ACM and APA in basic for
their first 15 fights. It keeps them alive and gets them learns without affecting
their performance.
Weapons
-------------
Your ripper's favorite weapon is VERY important. Rippers have a very limited
number of weapons to choose from, but do have some good ones.
This is a list of ripper weapons. They are listed in order of which is best to
which is worst according to a poll of 58 ripper mgrs.
1. Scimitar -- The best ripper weapon, without question.
2. Longsword
3. Epee -- I wouldn't advise using this weapon in Basic.
4. Shortsword
5. Shortspear
6. Longspear
7. Hatchet
Using that chart above, you can tell whether or not your ripper got stuck with a
lousy favorite weapon. Down below is more info on ripper's favorite weapons.
Out of 44 parry-ripostes, the following is a chart of the favorite weapons they got:
EP (11), SC (8), LO (8), LS (4), SS (7), SH (6)
Notice that most got the top 3 ripper weapons. Just hope your ripper doesn't get
stuck with a lame weapon.
Off-hand weapon
------------------------
Rippers do better with 2 weapons than one. In ADM, a ripper can use either one
or 2 and still be effective. Shortswords and hatchets are the most effective.
Daggers and shields are OK, but not really good in ADM. If you have a ripper with
high enough deftness, twin longswords or scimitars can be devastating. Rippers have
an unusually high chance of being ambidextrous.
Strategy- Using tactics
-------------------------------
Rippers in general don't react well to tactics. This is agreed on by most ripper
managers. They can use lunge, dodge, response and parry to some effectiveness. Out
of 44 rippers, 3 got Lunge, 6 got Riposte, and 3 got Parry as a favorite tactic.
Riposte tactic is lame, and should never be used on a ripper. He ripostes well enough
without that tactic. All it will do is penalize him in other important areas.
Strategy- (favorite rhythms)
-------------------------------------
Unlike other styles, the ripper favorite rhythm is used more closely. Most
managers use different strategies in basic than they do in ADM for their rippers.
They play it more by ear in Basic, and stick mostly to the ripper's favorite rhythms
in ADM. Unless, of course, they have very bad rhythms for favorites. Then they may
go back to playing it by ear.
Below is a graph of 44 Parry - Riposte's favorite rhythms.
A. L. -- O. E. VL LO MO HI VH TOTALS
VL 3 1 2 0 0 6
LO 2 1 2 2 0 7
MO 2 19 0 1 0 22
HI 2 0 5 2 0 9
VH 0 0 0 0 0 0
TOTALS 9 21 9 5 0
As you can see, most of the favorites for a Parry Riposte fall in the LOW
offensive and moderate activity range.
To give someone an example of a basic strategy, I will give you an example below.
MIN 1 2 3 4 5 6 Desp.
OL 2 2 2 4 4 3 7
AL 2 2 2 4 4 2 7
KD 5 5 5 6 6 5 5
Att RA----------------------------------------------->
Pro HE----------------------------------------------->
You can experiment with other strategies, and might even check out how your
ripper likes tactics.
In ADM, I'd stick with the favorite rhythms, unless they aren't working for him.
Best style match-ups for a ripper in basic are: PR, TP, BA, PS, WS.
Worst in Basic are : SL, LU, AB, PL, ST.
Best style Match-ups in ADM are: TP, PR, BA, ST, PS.
Worst in ADM are : LU, SL, WS, PL, AB.
Well, that should be enough information to get any manager started with a good
ripper. If you need more information about rippers or anything else about DM,
contact me. I can be reached via e-mail at 103260.3347@ compuserve.com or you can
Diplo me at the Joker's Wild 2 in DM 75. I hope this helped someone.
