:
: 11-4-9-15-17-15-13 SL
: is RIGHT HANDED
: is INTELLIGENT
:  nothing short of a genius at keeping her foes off balance and in trouble
:  does a lot of little things well
:  makes very clever attacks
:  rarely makes mistakes
:  is always thinking ahead
: is INCREDIBLY QUICK and ACTIVE
: is HIGHLY COORDINATED
: is VERY FRAIL-even a single blow can devastate her
: can only carry a VERY LITTLE WEIGHT in armor and weapons
: is INCREDIBLY QUICK and ELUSIVE on her feet
:  making even dangerous opponents look harmless
: does GREAT DAMAGE with every blow
:
: I plan on fighting her in ALE-L.  For weapons, I was going to use
: SC/DA against light and medium armor and BA against heavy armor, with
: an SH as a backup.  (That keeps her carry weight down to 9 which is her
: limit I think.)  I was thinking that as frail as she was, it was crucial
: for her to get in fast and furious, so I was thinking 10-10-5-HE-HE-x-x
: for the first minute.  As far as training, I was going to train CN
: a couple times before training skills.
:
: My questions are:
:
: 1) Is she better off without the dagger; i.e. will she fight better
:    weilding the SC 2-handed rather than using the dagger off-handed?
: 2) Is the BA a good idea against heavy armor or will it slow her down
:    too much and make her too tired.
: 3) What is a good breakdown for light, medium and heavy armor?
: 4) What do I do with minutes 2-6?
: 5) What do I do for desparation?
: 6) Should I use the Slash tactic or will it slow her down too much?
: 7) Should I train a few skills before training CN?
:
: I would appreciate any advice, especially from David since he is the
: Sultan of Slash.  Thanks in advance for any help.

Jim, I'll try to answer your questions in order. 1) I would go with the SC 2-handed because you get an attack bonus when you do so. 2)I personally don't like using weapons I'm don't have the strength for, unless it is like one point or so, so I would stick with the SC. 3-5)ask Dave. 6)No. 7)Your warriors have a learning bonus during the first five fights(they also have a higher % of dying), so wait until after the first five to raise stats, plus with those stats you shouldn't be that far off Init.
