Duelmasters: Roll-ups you love to hate

Hello all you net-landers out there.

I just got a pair of roll-ups from RSI to replace that 2 that I had
originally "lost" when I quit a team a few months ago.

Now, these are exactly the roll-ups that you hate, because they seem
to be throwaways, but who knows?  You can always make *something* out
of them, right?  Sure you can...

Let me show you what I made out of them, and you can tell me what youd
would do.

Roll-Up #1			Roll-Up #2
Slasher				Basher

ST  4 + 1 =  5 			ST  8 + 5 = 13
CN  9 + 0 =  9			CN 11 + 0 = 11
SZ 21 + 0 = 21			SZ 15 + 0 = 15
WT 10 + 5 = 15			WT 10 + 5 = 15
WL  5 + 1 =  6			WL  9 + 0 =  9
SP 12 + 1 = 13			SP 10 + 0 = 10
DF  9 + 6 = 15			DF  7 + 4 = 11

I see the first roll-up as a potentially interesting slasher design.  The
style will give him a damage bonus that should push him past the bare
minimum that he can do, which is great.  I've seen what great damage
slashers can do, and I shudder to think what a tremendous, or even
awesome(!) slasher can do.  He'll be cutting his opponents in half in
no time!  In addition, his high SP and quick style will tend to off-set
his innate slowness, and being highly coordinated should give him a few
needed decis skills (I hope) that his abysmally low WL will definitely
need to make him even playable.  At any rate, a 7'2 slasher is the perfect
bloodfeud machine, and nearly everytime he wins he should kill, and that
can't hurt!

The second is slightly less interesting.  He's a generic low WL basher
design that generally does well or dies.  He can use all but the heaviest
of bashing weapons, and will generally have good target accuracy.  I
expect him to win more than roll-up #1, but I will definitely be looking
more forward to seeing how roll#1 did, than to how roll-up #2 will do.

So, let me know what you think.  I await your comments!
