Two reaver daiklaves?  That is freaking<strong>scary</strong>, especially with Steel Devil Style.<br/><br/>And I think most of the Solars in CB: Dawn did take Physical Attributes as primary.  (After all, most player characters of<strong>any</strong>caste do.)  Dace is one example, and I'm pretty sure the other three did as well.  The Bull of the North just happens to be as much a charismatic leader as he is a mighty warrior (although he better be a warrior too, since bad things happen to Solars who can't kick ass).<br/><br/>And warstriders are too much of a pain, anyway.  If you want a 'strider, your best bet is to be a necromancer and conjure one up.  (After all, just because you're a Daybreak doesn't mean you don't have Melee 5.)
