Default Re: Terrible Player.

because with a net encumbrance of 1, he can still fight for 20 turns before crits even start to become a problem.

plus, there are so many other things that can cause fatigue. H2+/H-2+ builds are not uncommon, swamp, Rigor Mortis, Heat from Hell, etc.

The 'net 0 enc' is only a reality in the early game, and if you can't have a battle in the bag in 20 turns in the early game, you probably arn't winning anyway.

Going from X9 to X10 cost, what? at least 60 points (assuming you started off with like 3 in that path). Thats a beneficial tip of a scale, and maybe an extra magic path, which would have much bigger benefits (a few extra Adons, for example; much better than a few less with 'net 0 enc').

An unbuffed Adon () is actually pretty weak, since he has no helmet. But yeah, an E9Nx Adon could probably take most indy provinces before he starts taking crits, since the Holdx2 gets him back down to zero fatigue. When you add in Body Ethereal and Personal Luck, , he's at 29 FP before he even starts his attack run, to say nothing of possibly needing multiple Blesses to cover any Ahimans he may be escorting. 29FP + 1 FP/turn makes me considerably more nervous than 24 FP, period. You're not neglecting any of the important scales like Order to get this.
