Agreed.  I started Chi with max dex and cunning - a must for any HT who intends to get beyond 20 in those skills
reasonably early.  Chi has 21 in both and needs 72 and 88 respectively, so one can imagine what one would need if one didn't max
those two stats..

	While defenses are not AS good, they do become passable, especially when you throw in heavy armor.  There's sort of a
balance, yes, but if played right, the HT has the advantage.  One mistake I made was not giving Chi a long range wepon which, I
believe, is a MUST for an HT to assist in his regen effort.  I'm currebtly working him into the great axe, so that should help.  One thing
that is CRITICAL, and that is to get the HT's init to 6 ASAP.  Also, get CM-Speed up to lv 3 as well.  It's the only way to stay remotely
competitive.

Bottom line:  HT's are not an arena fighter-type, but an adventuring type.  Additionally, they are the best solo adventurers
due to the regen, but it takes longer to work up to levels the HT can really get some good stuff.

Later,
