Is the scimitar the classic weapon for slashing?  (Shows how much I know)  I
think that theory was debunked a long time ago.  I'm curious about the ambi
thing, is it true that you can get away with less Deftness for weapon combos?

The ST/SZ ratio is more than a little low, it's _way_ low, but since you
didn't mention any problems, can I assume that he got normal damage?  Other
than that, the set-up looks pretty solid, with CN just about right for
survivability, and WL a little low, and SP/DF just about right.

Try him out 4-5-4-Parry or 2-10-4-Dodge first minute, then 4-5-4-None second,
and 6-7-6-None, tapering off to 4-5-4-None for the rest of the fight.  For
armor (what did he get?  Cannot carry a lot?  Carry very little?) I'd say
APL/H with an EP/ME and maybe a backup SH (I tend not to give my warriors
backups until Adepts).  Other good weapons include SH, SC, SS, and LO (you'll
never have the ST for it, but try it anyway).

Let us know how he does.  You were a little unlucky in not getting Expert
Attack and maybe Init, but they should come pretty soon.  Even sooner with
that 21 WT!
