cant wait to fail raiding trials since woman have to do better than just passing to join (being a girl is hard mode dumb dumbs) and being stuck at home with 2 management dies
We're, uh,
notably better than most of the men applying. I think we'll be fine. I did an analysis of how badass Halla was likely to be at this point a while ago, but she exceeded expectations by kind of a lot (especially in orthstirr). Here's how she compares to 'standard' 20 year old Norsemen in this trial:
Average Stats: Hamr 5-6 (7 isn't terribly rare), Hugr 4-6, Orthstirr 40-60, very few have their Fylgja unlocked
Halla Stats: Hamr 5, Hugr 6, Orthstirr 71, Fylgja 4,
So, her Hamr and Hugr are within the average range (slightly below average Hamr, slightly above average Hugr if anything), but her Orthstirr is something like 20 points higher than the average here. Which is silly high. Plus she has a fylgja, which is far from nothing.
Average Combat Pool, Tricks, and Hugareida: 15-25 Combat Pool, 8-15 Tricks (not counting skill tricks), 1 Mastered Trick, 0-1 Hugareida (having one isn't uncommon, but isn't universal either)
Halla Combat Pool, Tricks, and Hugareida: 31 Combat Pool, 15 Tricks (not counting skill tricks, 16-17 if you count Rough Tricks), 0 Mastered Tricks, 2 Hugareida (one of them Level 2),
Here, we see where Halla has become...kind of ludicrous, honestly. Her combat pool is more than double that of some people in this range (though their equipment helps a bit there), and easily half again most of them. Even the best she probably has at least 6-8 dice on. Her Tricks are maxed out, including two different good, powerful, hugareida when many of these people don't even have one. She lacks any Mastered tricks yet, but those mostly save Orthstirr, and with 10-20 extra points of that, she'll be
just fine. Halla is an elite combatant very capable of wrecking most of these people.
Average Skill Ratings: 2 in most combat skills, 4-5 in their highest, 3-4 in non-combat skills, maybe 5-6 if they specialize, 7 in Labor or Farmwork.
Halla Skill Ratings: 2 in most combat skills, 3 in four of the highest, 2-3 in most non-combat skills. 1 each in Labor and Farmwork.
Here's where her inexperience comes up. She's a
much worse farmer than most of these people, only average in Hugr skills (slightly above average Hugr, slightly below average skills), and distinctly below average in Overland (she's down probably 2 dice from average there)...but I don't think any of these issues are gonna be wildly relevant to the raider trials.
