I have spoken to the original game designer (Ed the Troll) and
he told not use decis with a slasher, it totally mess up his
attack, what good is it to attack first if you are going to make
a wild swing ? A slasher with decis will suffer in all other areas
except he might be a bit quicker.

One other difference between John & I views about slashers is
the intial design. John's slashers have more DFT then SPD, thus
giving better attack and worse decisiveness. My slashers have
a higher SPD then DFT, thus giving me more decisiveness and less
attack. Are fighting strategy show this. John comes out as
quick as he can using decis, letting his naturally higher
attack suffer. I come out with my best attack and do not
enhance natural speed.

One question for debate is which slasher has better init given
everything else the same ?

A) 17 SPD 11 DFT
B) 11 SPD 17 DFT
