This rollup is very similar to a successful dagger wielding AB that I saw not
long ago.  If you have more guts than I do, try:

3-15-12-15-17-9-13  AB

Wiz is going to tell you how this rollup is a slasher, so let me steal his

I don't do scum, and I don't think you need to here.  Any time you can get 45
points in wit, will, and deftness, you got a very nice warrior.
