The best that I would do with future roll-ups that had a high Constitution (eg. 13 or more), a mid-to-high Speed, and a low Deftness (eg. could not get it above the magical 11) is to make it a Total Parry. I like it. It can work. >Another roll-up looked like this: 12-10-8-12-10-9-9 >12-10-8-17-13-9-15 Parry-Strike (controversial due to the low WL, but what >could I do?) Ah-hah, this is the P-S you said one of my own new guys looked like. I like your design. Everything is above 9, except Size, so you should have a good overview. You made the best possible warrior to suit your tastes. Nothing wrong with that. Just run him and see how he works. For me, every warrior is experimental. (Also, it seems your case here is, "what is more important *Will* or Deftness?" So, you being a "Deftness Man", in certain cases you want to know if it is "right" to put more points into Deftness, rather than Wit or Will.) Now, what is the big deal about having a 17 Wit and Will? Is this the "new" Duelmasters thinking, that *only* a 17 Wit and Will will insure a great warrior, one capable of going to ADM? Is everyone resigned to saying, "Oh well, my new guy only has 17 Wit and 13 Will, so I'll run him for a while, but he'll never get to ADM." What's the "new" thinking people?
