        I didn't see the original post of these five, so I won't comment on
them.  I just find it funny that you mention this particular character.  I
have a virtual twin, 11-3(4)-16-17-17-9-11 Lunger.  He started 6-0, fell to
6-3, and is now 9-3-1.  He picked up his experts in Attack, Init, Decise,
and Defense in 4 or less skills, but no signs of experts on roll-up.  He now
has Adex's in three, and Master Init,0 Parry skills, and 3 Riposte skills.

I tend tto run him with the 8-8-6, but I started him at 10-6-6 for his first
five fights.  I prefer a 2-9-1-Dodge strategy when desperate.
