Grim's Reaper --Monstered Loser Replacement 1/2 Orc Maul user

By the looks of it, it wasn't really a very close fight and if your warrior hadn't given up when he did, he'd likely be dead.

I also forgot that Grim isn't really all that big either. I'm usually have 14 size+ for most of my gladiators. Yes he did get his arse kicked. I have most of his activities set at 3. Should I go up to 4 or hope he gets a few good hits in before his HPs get wasted?

I wouldn't go too crazy, but it wouldn't hurt. The maul is certainly bigger than a twig.

vV

Upping your activity may increase your warrior's output, but it will also decrease his odds of asking for mercy. There is a give and take to activity levels. High activity level warriors don't tend to live all that long...

Perhaps I need to go init/con/str and get initiave rolling.

If he doesn't have any init skills, then yah, plug that in.  init/con/dex

I'd work on bumping his dex to 14.

GRIM'S REAPER has trained in Initiative

Well at least he got a train. Losing the maul stunk big time. Think I need to give him a back-up weapon. Anything but a swordbreaker..at least for the styles he has set. Any suggestions for this weeks training? Stats now 21-14-22-5-3-12. Maul and Feint some skill and Init and Sweep novice. Want to get maul to 5 as quickly as I can but also want that con up there as well. Should I do maul/str/str , maul/str/con or some other combo? If I get his str up there could carry that back-up maul. With brig maul and helm he is already at 36 endurance. As he running mostly 3s for activity could he get away with the back-up maul???

You can try a backup hammer. Nice and light weight and much better than a sword breaker!!!

vV

Hammer it is. Too bad he didn't find a spare maul lying around

Yep, I would do hammer, mace or flail...

GRIM'S REAPER has trained in nothing


Another loss and no trains...gar. Ok think I actually need to protect weapon arm AND try and train disarm? Any suggestions?

Stay focused. Training in disarm won't help you NOT get disarmed. Stick to the basics. He's a dummy, so each skill you get is vital.

vV

Yes he is a dummy

Stats now 21-14-22-5-3-12 with maul (2) feint (2) init (1) and sweep (1). Should I try for con/skill/dex ; skill/dex/con --or three stats? Id like to get the maul up to 5 as soon as possible. Perhaps a dodge?

I agree with Vic. Stay focused on the basic skills. And get his Int trained up so you can get them skills.

should I plug in INT instead of con? Go for a three INT week? Has worked for my idiots before.   

You could do that. Or con/int/int

vV

I will go Con/int/int and hope he gets something

Yeah baby! 3 fights of loserdom redeemed

and three trains to boot!

Yeah I forgot about the three trains Just excited to get back to winning ...Vic's CON/INT/INT worked like a charm    Now at 23 con and 7 int so thinking it is time to get back to skill/stat/skill. Perhaps go for dodge/intell/maul or maul/str/dodge ??? Would like to get strength up to 22 at least before I start working on intelligence.

Alright, Klag!

Now we're talkin'.

If it were me, I would be pushin' for that 24 con. But a 22 str would be nice too. Either way, you can't lose, and hopefully both will achieved in a short amount of time.

I could see it going 3 ways: con/maul/maul or str/maul/maul or con/str/maul.

I like the last one Vic....I think I am going to plug that one in and get the ball rolling. Now just need a few kills

Ouch! One of them perms was a level 3! Sick boy needs a couple of weeks off after that fight!  

Sorry Sliv! Ive gotten a few of those as well early on. Think most of them were on my halflings as well.

Maul vs Leather is a bloody combination. At least the perms were spread out. (I'm trying to be positive)
