>:	What is the level of Advanced Master?  I know Expert, AdEx, and

>:to go to get Advanced Master?  This Warrior has gotten six skills in
>:Attack since getting her Master's rating, and she's only got two more
>:learns in the area.  Am I going to have to wait until I start training
>:stats before I get the Advanced Master?

The progression is an arithmetic, (n+2), starting at 4 for ex-adex.  So,
6 to master, 8 to Advanced Master, 10 to Grandmaster, 12 to archmaster
(only a couple of those)
AdMAster: 170
Grandmaster: 220
Archmaster: 280
You will max at ADMaster exactly.  Or another way, to get an Advanced
Master on 20 skills alone, you have to start equal or better than 2 below
expert.

>:	A tourney related question: do you get political points for a
>:TV, or just for a TC?  Not that there's anything I can *do* about it...

Yes, 5 points for both.  (Unless you get more for a TC?)

>:	And, a question on a slightly less serious note: has anyone else

>:someone breaking at least one weapon, and I have seen as many as three
>:broken in a single contest.  Maybe I'll go back and check the numbers...

Probably a coincidence.  But I have had a warrior break 2 weapons in the
same fight, (at tourney), and had a friend break 2 scimitars in _each_ of
two sucessive tourney fights.  But come to think of it, I've broken 2
weapons in a fight (arena).   Maybe your fighting quys with really high
parry skills?  (or you have one...)
