Why bother raising WL?  The 21WT gets more skills, and helps get even MORE
afterwards.  Sure, if I end up playing till my grandchildren take over,
I'll want him to have the higher WL to work on stats, but he doesn't
need it for e.g. endurance or anything, right?
I guess I'm asking, for a "middle term" character, aiming at getting to
DM before senility sets in or maybe being top dog in his arena, wouldn't
21WT 9WL be much more effective than 17WT 13WL?

Thanks.  Similiar question for a PS - similiar answer?
