Well according to my formulas for determining endurance, this
character will still have VERY LITTLE ENDURANCE.  Given the low will, it
won't be raising stats, so the endurance won't improve irregardless.
This raises the next point I was considering in designing the character
and I will use yours as an example.

A:  10-5-9-17-9-17-17           B: 8-5-9-21-3-17-21

Now given that both of these start with VERY LITTLE endurance
(Granted, A could get lucky and start with poor), will character A:
really have any more endurance than B?  My initial opinion is no, however
it's not really an intuition based on experience or my thoughts of how
the game is run.  Rather this is a Crippian Hunch, and Crippian Hunches
have tended to be semi-reliable in the past.  Still Any opinions are
looked forward to.
