-
- I can't really comment on the idea of using low will warriors as slashers...
- I know that it was a fairly common practice at one point, but I haven't
- done it myself.
-
- As a matter of fact, I would go so far as to say that for a long-term
- slasher, I wouldn't go below a 15 will. Period.
-
- >12-6-10-19-13-13-11 no ratings yet, but still only 0-1
-
- One thing that I am pretty sure about is the idea that speed positively
- effects the starting stats of your slasher.
-
- Oh, and I don't like the 19 wit thing. Start 17 or 21, not in between.
-
- >11-4-14-17-8-9-21 start Ex init/att
-
- One of the better slashers that I know of started with a 21 wit/deft, along
- with a 15 will. I like that design a lot, with a decent speed. Your guy
- won't be going anywhere past a certain point early in his AD career. If
- that doesn't bother you, then it doesn't matter.
-
- >my pride and joy, TV in rookies(!), 6-1-0, 98 pts, going for DM this turn :)
-
- Like I said, if it doesn't bother you later on...
-
- >11-9-4-15-21-13-11 start 70 attack, 70 init, 75 decise
-
- I like this design better, some lasting power into AD... On the other hand,
- I would have liked him better as a PL. Slashers benefit the most from
- speed, wit, and deft in that order at generation (IMHO). Your Pl is going
- to like the 21 will. Probably start expert attack.

-
- I honestly must say that I wouldn't have made the first three guys, since
- I prefer to play my guys as long as possible, rather than going for 21
- wit guys that have 8 wills, and the like. But that's just me.
