What wouldnt be bad is something like 7-17-10-13-21-5-11.  You could make him
   TP or even go PL or PS.  Scum until he gets a few fights under his belt.  This
   guy here could end up 19-1 by scumming alone.  Plus he's gonna learn a decent
   amount of skills with a 13 WT.  I wouldnt bother raising the WT to 15 or 17.
   The 11 DF and the 21 WL are more important IMHO.  Either way, youve got a guy
   thats gonna go bare minimum .900.  If he doesnt, youre either challenging
   poorly, running weird, or didnt set him up like I said.  :)

I guess I just don't get it.  Why do you think that the 21 WL is
better than the 17 WT?  The skills charts seem to say that 21 WL gives
you 8 skills, and 15/17 WT gives you 9.  Furthermore, 17 WT should
learn better that 13 WT by a fair bit, shouldn't it?  Though I don't
understand learning much, as I have a 15 WT BA who has learned 20
skills in his first 7 fights, and a 15 WT ST who averaged <1 skill per
fight for his first 15 before I DA'd the guy.

I'd probably lean towards 8-16-10-17-17-5-11 PL right now, since I
have neither no PLs and don't really want a TP I think.  Will this guy
do OK as a PL?  He has a 50% chance to not be able to use his
favorite weapon, as EP, LO, and LS are out of reach for a bit.
Hopefully the SC would come through!

Speaking of favorite weapons, how does one do if the hand is ones
favorite?  I had my basher shatter his HL last turn, and he proceeded
to pummel his opponent with his fists, getting several crits before
knocking the guy out.  I assume that a weapon is always better, as the
guys parrys damaged me.
