Dundee: Those stats you quoted were from the unMODded Solaufein, correct?

Sure, we're just discussing a computer game here, but it's an "emotional commitment" kind of thing: We've devoted so much of our time and brainpower to it that it MUST be incredibly important. How many people argue over which baseball team is better? For an even better example, how many Europeans were killed during I-don't-even-remember-which-war-it-was, when all they were fighting about was whether or not the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost were separate entities, or simply facets of a single, indivisible godhead?

I would tone Tsuki down a lot more than just offensively: Sola's MR, Saves, combat protections and spell protections make him immune to damn near everything, and this sword would make him immune to just about everything else. For defensive powers, this thing beats out even the Greater Werewolf Paw--and can be easily left in the offhand, as well, to make room for Sanchuudoku.

Kelsey's stats are indeed above average for Your Typical Citizen, but they're just about average for Your Typical Adventurer. Somehow I can't see someone like Neeber (who may be presumed to have all 9's for stats) even surviving long enough to meet you in, say, a jail cell in the Temple Ruins. And Kelsey's STR isn't even on the high side: Judging by the Weight Allowance table, my own STR is 13 or 14 (I can indeed carry 150 lbs, but I get Encumbered: Slowed), and I'm anything but big & beefy.
