Hiya Dennis! Long time no talk. I assume you've been celebrating the end of
the quarter/semester?

When I first saw this rollup, I thought to make it a 16-10-7-13-15-8-15 TP.
I figured a TP would need will more than wit. Well, I checked both of these
versus my charts and your set-up was clearly the winner! So much for my "gut"
feel! :)

So now that we know the stats, let's look at styles. The TP didn't look
very good. According to my charts, the TP would start with approx a base 30 att,
55 par, 40 rip, 25 def, 25 init, and 20 dec. I don't know about you but I'm
not too impressed. Still, I have yet to get a TP to survive long enough to
know if these are good bases or not. Maybe you know better.

The slasher looked the best. Its bases were 60 att, 10 par, 60 rip, 30 def,
65 init, and 30 dec. Not a very fast slasher but with the 10 con and the high
riposte and init, I would assume it could take a blow and steal the init away
from other fast styles. Unfortunately, I don't know too much about slashers
either. They seem to die on me faster than the TPs! :( I also don't know
for sure what the effects of an 11 will are on endurance but I would anticipate
that it would hurt and slashers do burn endurance at a frightening rate.
Hopefully the 17 strength will offset that somewhat. I would go for the slasher
myself. What ever you do, *don't* make it an AB. I had a similar rollup that I
was experimenting with and I made it an AB. Yuk! It only got two wit statements.

I would probably train the wit to 16. I know for sure that there are no attack or
init skills there and I'm willing to bet that there are no skills there at all.
It would help his learning. I have a 15 wit striker that didn't do too well in
the learn department and I wish I had had the foresight to train his wit a long
time ago.

C-ya!
