If you had asked me before the fight if SPLITTER could get OFFSPRING to heavy damage, I would have told you that yer CRAZY!  But, uh, wow!  Way to go SPLITTER!  I was hoping for a showdown vs ROTUND, but instead, I believe SPLITTER has shown me how to take down a legend.  We'll see in four or five years.

He was mastered up in everything with a 6 in brawl.
Javelin
Dodge
Parry
Charge
Lunge
Initiative
Feint

Pesky lvl 8 ab perm sent him prematurely to the monsters.

Stats: 16-18-17-20-7-16 up 6-5-6-5-1

Clearly, he was still under development.  I figured that by about 250 fights he'd look like 19-22-19-22-12-16, which would have been a terror at the top, and now I feel, more than capable of taking on OFFSPRING.  Hubris?  Probably.

All credit for this design goes to Palor, with his legendary NEEDLE OF PINE creation.

A beautiful fight, Vic! Offspring was looking a bit worn around the edges in that fight with those quick power shots splitter was getting in.
Not a single sweep attempt either, which is really where Offspring tends to wipe the floor with opponents (pardon the cheap pun) .

I didn't even notice the lack of sweep attempts. Great point! SPLITTER's early onslaught seemed to keep OFFSPRING on her toes. Or, it was just the luck of the Pit, and my thoughts of replacing OFFSPRING with a halfling could get swept under the rug with a quickness!

Great fight Vic! Unlucky, getting Offspring down to heavy damage is something i don't think i managed before she became a monster!!
