This is an ugly roll-up. Nice WT, O.K. Wl but with that DF, you're
screwed.  You did the right think in DA.  Switch the CN and DF and you have
a pretty darn good striker.  At DF 5 this could make a half-decent  speed
basher.  You'd lack the ST and DF for the WH, but ability to take damage could
make up for it.  But probably not. DF gives you no sort of Attack OR Parry
skills, leaving you with a "Tackling Dummy."

	SCUM! SCUM! SCUM! SCUM! SCUM! It is considered impolite (to say the
least) in some (i.e. honorable) circles to take out an opponent with out
actully hitting them.  This 'honor' question doesn't stop many, but if you
don't mind bad reputations...  It is pretty common to send out scum TPs in
APA/F w. anywhere from 2-6 shields, depending on their carring capacity.  With
the right roll-up (big on CN,WL,ST,DF; in that order) you can go 20-5.  You
will only lose to AB's, or offensives  (esp. BAs; NOT LUs )  who do ALOT (Great
plus) with decent endurance and attack abilites.  But I urge you not to try.

Hunt scum, dont' run them.
(TP-styled warriors are O.K., but try to run them as offensively as possible.
It's difficult , but fun if it works.)
