It's a shame Snaga the Samerien actually works now.  I started playing AG
based on a article by Mike Quigley in Flagship a year and a half ago.
Mike ran Kroll the minotaur, who dropped out of play for a while.  The
article was from over 2 years ago....  I'd wanted to play but didn't know
anybody.

Finally took the plunge in mid-1994.

The character was Snaga #726.  Stats:  Goblin, light, 36", spiked
gauntlet, STR 12, DEX 16, STA 9, Cun 9.

The design was sound:  46 points for set-up, meaning each stat should be
around 11.5, give or take a few (hey, I own a calculator!)

But my strategy of running to Short w/ Gauntlet combined w/ Retreat
defense SUCKED!!!  So in the end I bought tons of wierd stuff:
Heal spell, martial arts, you name it.

Then I got an idea:  get a Short Spear, Charge 100% to Med and Dodge....

My world changed.  Snaga started winning, killing Malcontent #282.

But based on what I'd learned I decided to quit Snaga and try some new
designs.  Snaga became an NPC....

The only thing I thought funny was that Hugh was using the same old
strategy.  One thing Snaga does when really injured is try and run to
Long, then use the Rretreat defense....  The reason is because in Ciston,
w/ high Favour I'd found Snaga could scrape out wins on calls....  In the
Grotto its even worse:  high Favour means you can get killed by
crossbows if your opponents Favour is higher!

I hope you get another character & kill him.  I doubt Shai'taan would
stand a chance:  Snaga couldn't hurt Shai'taan, big fat regenerating
piece of crap that he is, but Shai'taan would certainly get gunned-down
by crossbow-fire....

But on that happy note, good luck w/ your new elf (it is your elf, isn't
it?)
