OK, I can see this.  What do you do for weapons?  ME needs 9 ST, so would you
use SS and SM or something else?  I am not married to the idea of a TP either.
I'd rather run an offensive.  The problem is, all my offensives keep losing
because they either a) get tired, b) get killed or c) aren't fast enough to
take the initiative and don't take much damage.  If you can think of a decent
offensive setup for this roll-up, go ahead and post it.

At this point I don't care squat about skill losses, so that's not a problem.
What I really need right now is to rack up some wins against those strikers.
I have been led to believe that SP is the most worthless attribute in DM.
What would the 21 SP do for a ST?  They are already fast by definition so
some would say that adding to the SP is a waste of time.  It might help a
BA I suppose.  Also, what kind of endurance would this guy have?  If my
charts are right, it would come out with VERY LITTLE endurance, so unless
he is dishing out GREAT or better damage, I'm not sure he would last long
enough to get the win.  Of course, I'm losing pretty regular at the moment,
so I suppose it couldn't hurt to try something different. :-)
