A 5 stamina is about as low as I will comfortably go. Things would not have changed significantly with the 17 str, 4 stam. Mike was correct that this was largely a personnal feeling rather that an absolute thumb rule. I agree with Mike's earlier post on low stats/stam. There have been a couple of great sword wielders who have gotten away, early on, with a 1 stam. They depended on high dex,str, and cun to drop their oppenents in the first paragraph of the fight. I would not recomend this. I believe that the low stamina came back to bite them later as their opponents were able to hold on for a while. David Saville Up
