If she'd lost, you could have appealed the fight on grounds of the
error in weapon selection (I've never heard of RSI failing to grant an
appeal - unless they gave you what you requested).

4 skills?  Pretty darn good!  But I wouldn't try the SH again. :)

I generally run (ran?) my lungers in ALE/L because it doesn't seem to
affect their speed at all, and if it does it's more than offset by the
added damage they can take.  RSI claims that ARM gives the best prot-
ection for the weight, but in my book it's ALE.  Any armor is _miles_
better than no armor.

Occasionally a high WT roll-up will take longer to make into a good
warrior.  One fight isn't really enough time to decide if a character is
good or not.  I have a 9+-??-9-17-17-3-17 PL who started out 0-4, and has
won his last 4 (before being retired).  Don't give up on a 17 WT so soon.

Although 0 WT comments is almost never a good sign.  A TP?  Are you sure
that wasn't an AB you were running? :)

I like him, although  I think that I would go with 12-9-13-5-17-17-11 ST
and train ST to 13 the first fight so he can use the WH.  There isn't
really much difference between DF 11 and DF 13, and the added weapon
selection is more important than a couple extra skills.

Maybe in a little while.
