I've just dug up my notes on A Character that in Summer 2,005 I used in Books 21 to 28 and am thinking about using him in Book 29 and 30 and as I haven't used either of those 2 for quite a while how about some advise?. Here he is and I'll admit that out of the at least 37 times that I've beat The Books 1 to 20 Saga and at least 25 times I've beat The Books 21+ Saga this is the
only character were I generated A 9 for all 3 of Gold Coins, CS and E without cheating
With no modifiers his stats are Combat Skill 42 and Endurance 55 and with all possible modifiers his stats are Combat Skill 67 or 70 VS certain foes and Endurance 55
When it comes to Grand-Master Powers he started with Kai alchemy, Kai Surge, Grand Weaponmastery that used to Swords, Bows and Daggers, was changed to only apply to Swords and it now applies to all weapons in the series and Herbmastery, due to rules changes in 2nd edition he gained Grand Huntmastery and The 8 Powers he got for beating Books 21 to 28 are Deliverance, Grand Pathmanship, Grand Nexus, Kai Screen, Astrology, Magi Magic, Telegnosis and Elementalism
