Experiment the crash test dummy is using a modified blows table. It's hackish & ugly but good enough to see what happens. All numbers were changed through the adj_str & adj_dex values (e.g. the blows table itself is unchanged). I've given my formally stat optimized character the blows of a standard roller while trying to hold the old max. & minimum stat points.
The adventure starts with crash dummy walking into a store & buying the 2nd best weapon we can afford. It is a morning star doing 10.2 damage & 1 blow. Looking at the whip it's at 1.1 blow & the king of all weapons (the katana) is out of our price range.
