So where'd you end up?

I'll see what I can do.

You've got the weapons chart which details the minimum requirements
for each weapon, as well as a chart which tells which weapon is
well suited to which style.  Simply fill your weapon selection in here.
Light, quick weapons should be used against lighter armors, medium
weight - medium damage weapons against the middle armors, and slow,
heavy damage doers against the heaviest armor class.  A typical break-
down is light (0,7), medium (8,14), and heavy (15,+) although you
can break it down any way you like, including light (0,+).

Each area has a range from 1-10, 1 being the least offensive/active/
aggressive, 10 being the most.  This is almost completely style
dependent.

Your choices are:

HE - Head
	CH - Chest
	AB - Abdomen

	RL - Right Leg
	LL - Left Leg

	D - Decisiveness
	S - Slash

	D - Dodge
	S - Responsiveness

In ascending order of weight (increments of two, starting at 0)

N - None (loin cloth)
	ALE - Leather armor
	APL - Padded Leather
	ARM - Ring Mail (best weight/protection ratio)
	ASM - Scale Mail (my personal favorite)
	ACM - Chain Mail
	APM - Plate Mail

You can train any of the stats except SZ by writing

ST - Strength
	CN - Constitution
	WT - Wit\
	WL - Will
	SP - Speed
	DF - Deftness

(or you may write out the full name)

or train skills by writing SK (or leaving it blank)

>WISH
>to
>FIGHT

You can't challenge on your first fight, so don't worry about this.

>Challenge strategy
>if Challenged strategy

See above.

>Wish
>to
>Avoid:

You can avoid on your first fight.  No one will be challenging you,
but it's good to avoid those early mismatchs.  Look in the newsletter
for warriors in the Initiates class who have a lot of fights and/or
a lot of kills.  A 5 fight disadvantage can be deadly, so avoid it
at all costs.  If you have more than 2 teams you want to avoid, avid
the team that has more warriors who could fight you.

No problem.  Hope your first turn goes well!

What kind of charts are these?  I have some charts you might be able to
use.  I'll send them along to you.
