Huh? Are you implying he has a 50% Attack skill bonus?! I think not, even if (as the rules do not state) magical stat enhancements count. If your STR, INT, and DEX are all 18, then even Enhance STR and DEX 18 (which you'd have to keep up for a week to enhance the experience check, if that works at all) would give you an Attack bonus of only +47. I'll avoid further discussion of this point, as it seems far too rulesy for this digest, but let me put it another way: any army has attrition, and needs replacements. The Brithini are pathologically averse to death, and replace losses very slowly. This implies that their individual soldiers are not Onslaughtian.
