Slashers! From: ben@abby.chem.ucla.edu Date: Tue, 08 Jun 1993 22:44:10 +0000 Hello all-- My first slasher just got his invite at 19-9. True to the Wizard of Oz's predictions, his favorites were high-very low. He also got the bonus of a favorite tactic, slash. In those 28 fights, plus 20odd tourney fights, I don't htink I used that strategy once. I think I entered it, for 4th minutes on, but I doubt I _ever_ reached the 4th. The low-down: 10-11-8-15-15-14-11; hardly god material. 61 skills. Ratings: 170 Init (20 skills) 120 Attack (15) 105 Riposte (12) 90 Decis (4) 9 parry skills, and 1 lousy defense. Because his base decis was so high, he coulb beat most lungers; I often ran decis, usually 10-10-6 or 10-6-6. To any managers (i.e., you David) who have experince with slashers in AD, I was wondering what to do with him. I figure on running him at his favorites, but because he's kinda slow, and has absolutly no defenses, I think he'll have a lot of trouble with everyone except WS and TPs. Even those could give him plenty of trouble. Should I try, like ASM? What is this guy's long-long term potential? Thanks, Ben Hitz E-MAIL: hitz@cuhhca.hhmi.columbia.edu PS His favorite weapon was SC, like all good hearted people. Referenced By Up
