So uh, once i hit the 4:1 cap, do I move onto confidence to take advantage of the +1 or do I keep going with kicking and if so til when? (PS, i know it might not have been the best roll, but i got frustrated rolling).

thanks


Edit: also got a punter. Would the answer if you switch kicking and punting be the same or different? If different, how so?

Until you hit the the 6:1 cap. Using the +1 to get Kick up is more important than using it to get CONF up.

It's not that bad

Not at this point. Take both of them to 6:1 on Kick/Punt first. You should be able to hit that by level 13.

thanks a bunch. Are there people with other views on this? I was probably going to go to at least the 5:1, but not I'm thinking 6:1.

The difference between 5:1 and 6:1 is only two levels of sp with natural gain. It gets very difficult to level kicking past the 6:1, so take advantage of the easier kicking levels and have 86-87 natural kicking once you hit 21.

IMO, it's debatable whether that 5th cap is worth it. I did it on my latest punter (Xyzzy) and kicker (Robotron: 2084), but my original punter Kin Korn Karn and my original kicker Grundle both went third cap punting/kicking & confidence. Karn even took a snack break to do strength between level 8 and 12, back when I thought it was a good idea. Grundle went third capped kicking then confidence. Both of them are just fine. Not what their brothers Xyzzy and Robotron: 2084 will be but good in their own right.
