My round 2 buy:
Pisano is a dwarf, so I get another 240 points + 4 points left over from first round doubled to  8 = 248 to spend.

Buy a bronze mail shirt for 48 points
Buy bronze greaves for 36 points
Buy bronze high boots for 20 points
Upgrade Archery skill from Skilled (4) to Adept (7) = 15+18+21 = 54
Upgrade Crossbow skill from Talented (6) to Expert(8) = 35+40 = 75
Upgrade Dodging skill from Adequate (2) to Competent (3) = 15

= 248 spent of 248

Total Equipment and Stats are:
bronze crossbow, bronze mail shirt, bronze greaves, bronze boots, copper gauntlets, bronze helmet
Expert Crossbow (8), Adept Archer (7), Competent Dodging (3)

Let's see if I'm as lucky in the next round.

Points from the previous round double?

Well. Useless is about to become an adamantine axegod, no doubt about it. So that was his game all along.

Is striking the stat that determines axe power?
He might be better off staying unarmed, but buying some iron armor. Otherwise his striking points would be wasted.
I was planning on buying full armor equipment with some skill upgrades if I had won. Alas...
Useless, I will help you any way I can! I owe it to you...

True. Wouldn't bronze armor be about the same, though? He'd be best off completely covered, but his next match is against a heavily-armed werewolf, so a weapon that can actually cut that flesh would be useful.

(Can equipment/skills be sold back? Hmmm.)

Equipment can be sold back- skills can't.
He'll need to disarm his werewolf opponent's heavy armor and get in some solid punches. It's a good thing his dodging skill is so high.
That werewolf only has points in bite, right? If that's the case, he should get armor that protects his vital areas. A cap and a mail shirt would probably do it- he can't wear gauntlets, those would slow down his fists.

No, the biter werewolf is the one who got bisected by Dancing Dagger the Kobold. This werewolf has a greatsword. Yeah, this one could get ugly.

A heavily armored werewolf with a greatsword...
If he counts on a disarm, and a disarm is what occurs, the fight would be over.
Other than that...

Yeah, Goblin kabob, basically. Striking won't help too much against something literally twice your size.

Actually, you know what? I'll change my upgrades. no new armor, 1 knife level, and all the rest into dodging. If I don't get the first hit, I'm toast.

Gauntlets won't actually slow down your fists or any other attacks- at least not any more than the weight added by any random piece of armor would.

Attempting to punch a werewolf to death is not recommended, in either case.

I dunno you can get some pretty decent damage going with fists if your strength is decent... better than mauls or whips imo.
