MAXI-Men vs Undead Slayers

In a straight out fight who do you think would win they are very close in stats and seem to be a fair fight.

Depends on the level...

All told, I believe the Slayer starts with more tat's than the maxi.

Also, I'f I'm recalling correctly, the Slayer has an easier time starting with H2H MA than the maxi does. After all, the Slayer wants to "be the best he can be." The maxi's master wants to optomise him for arena combat or body guard duty. Plus, the Slayer's general training is better, since it's rounded, and not set-up to minimise the danger of an escape, like the maxi's is.

no, they both start with exsactly 18 tattos total. it's just the catagories they pick them from are different.

Maxis get 2 simple weapon, 2 magic weapon, 2 animal, 2 monter, 2 power, and 6 of choice.

undead slayers get set amount of power tattos, and make more and less selections in some catagories than others, but the raw number is the same.

however, the Undead Slayer starts with substantially more MDC and PPE.

and they both start with HtH MA, no cost, I belive.

It's been a couplea years, and the group I'm currently running is going to be staying put in the heart of the continent for some time! :D If I need to start re-familiarising myself, I'll do it then! ;)

Huh? I thought the MDC/tattoo and PPE/Tattoo were the same for a Maxi and a Slayer. Don't have my book handy at the moment.

EDIT - My bad. Didn't recall the base number.

I'd put money on the Maxi-man {somehow that sounds wrong lol}, because... well, they're insane. That's always an advantage. :lol:
