Hey, it's Juan Madden!  Did you ever get any results from the second
half of the EMFL championship game or the all-star games?  The last
thing I got was a half-time summary.

>Here they are(take in mind I would like a good parry-strike out of this)

Good parry-strikes are hard to come by anyway, but I'll see what I can
do.

SL or PS
ST 13 + 0 = 13
CN 10 + 0 = 10
SZ 11 + 0 = 11
WT 13 + 4 = 17
WL  5 + 4 =  9
SP 13 + 0 = 13
DF  5 + 6 = 11

The high SZ seems to point to an offensive style, and the Slashing would be
best able to take advantage of the SP.  The Striking style is alos a
possibility.

You might be able to use this guy for a large, decisive Parry-Strike.
You can set him up as a Piker, and then run him like a Striker.  Later
in his career, he'll develop the defenses to run more like a finese
character. In the meantime, you don't lost *too* often.

SL/PS/TP
ST  8 + 1 =  9
CN 10 + 0 = 10
SZ 11 + 0 = 11
WT 16 + 5 = 21
WL  7 + 6 = 13
SP  8 + 1 =  9
DF 10 + 1 = 11

Another fine roll-up.  This set up would actually be a pretty good
Piker; his low WL will hinder his early success, but the genius WT
rating will help him out a lot.  He will probably win more as a TP,
but be less effective later in his career.  If you make #1 a SL,
then make this guy a PS.  If not, then make him a SL. Either way, he
should be very good.

BA
ST 10 + 4 = 14
CN 10 + 0 = 10
SZ 16 + 0 = 16
WT  4 + 3 =  7
WL 10 + 5 = 15
SP  8 + 1 =  9
DF 12 + 1 = 13

This guy should do very well as a power  basher.  Run him in no
armor with a WH wielded one-handed, and he could be a royal terror.
Good for the team W/L as well as kill ratio, and gives you time to
learn the game a bit before you have to kill this guy off and get
another roll-up.

>#4
>14-10-8-10-10-10-8

BA/ST
ST 14 + 3 = 17
CN 10 + 0 = 10
SZ  8 + 0 =  8
WT 10 + 3 = 13
WL 10 + 3 = 13
SP 10 + 0 = 10
DF  8 + 5 = 13

Blech!  RSI ruined your only really small roll-up by giving it a 10
in both WT and WL.  This guy's main strength is his (pardon the pun)
ST, so use it for all he's worth.  I would probably go with ST here
for the better weapon selection (everything except the Epee) and the
increased Decis, but the BA would also work well.

I don't know.  So close to greatness.  It's almost depressing.

>#5

>12-9-15-6-13-3-12

TP
ST 12 + 1 = 13
CN  9 + 0 =  9
SZ 15 + 0 = 15
WT  6 + 2 =  8
WL 13 + 6 = 19
SP  3 + 0 =  3
DF 12 + 5 = 17

Like the BA, this TP is going to be a win machine, allowing you to
get a decent W/L (important for keeping active interest in the game)
while learning the ropes of the game.  This one will probably last
longer than the BA (possibly 15-20 fights) before you decide to tget
rid of him.  Not PS material, but so few characters are.

No problem.  Drop me a line if you have any questions about design
or strategy.  Good luck!
