Could someone give me more information about figuring out skill levels(?)
of my warriors? I have heard of the Boss Rat charts and (someone else)
charts, but haven't seen or heard that much. I could use the help. :(
 
          My team is called Kharan-Dor in Arena 48 Caer (say-eer). I am
now a 7 and 18. It has taken my about 5 turns to figure out how to
run the various styles and I'm still getting hosed.  I *DID* make a
lot of mistakes when I made the characters up just to play around.
 
          Does "<insert name> is testing the edge of a <insert weapon>"
mean that this is his/her favorite weapon? Or do you have to look at
# of attacks per minute versus activity level?
 
          Oh, and a basher uses a OPEN HAND in a marginally effective 
fashion, I tried it (accidently).
 
          Is there any point to keeping some of these chracters?

Why is this guy doing so poorly!? I though he would do okay.
 
 
This guy, unless someone here sees somehting I don't, will be DA'd this

He is 1-3 with 13 Recognition Points.  His one win, however, was from a
guy who collapsed after nearly killing Gorgi.
 
 
Here is another guy I should probably DA, see anything? Or is he just an
example of poor character building :<

He is now at 1-4 and, again, his one win is from some coolapsing from
exhaustion.

last turn.
