[QUOTE="Corwin the Confused, post: 954497, member: 4774"] [b]Re: Min/Max: Making the Greatest Swordman - Musashi[/b] [B][COLOR=red] I am trying to MIN/MAX a Damage Machine in the flavor of Musashi. I am not trying to recreate every aspect of Musashi's life. Xeriar, that was what I rolled. I think that I put the number in the right stats. gtJormungand, thanks for spotting the mistake. I think that I have it correct now. But it takes me two more levels. :( I also switched Weapon Specialization to 4th. Jeremy, yes he is credited with developing the style of two weapon fighting. However, I think that the style that he focused on was two-handed weapon. His final duel with the other great swordsman was with a wooden katana that he carved from a boat oar.
