Re: (TFT) ST Aid Questions

Wizard keeps his 1+4.

Hero is dead.  I am reminded of Fred Saberhagen's "<First?> Book of Swords", 
in which the magic sword, Townsaver, kept the warrior alive long enough to 
defend the village.  Once the threat was removed, Townsaver's spell ended 
and the battered hero dropped dead.  The magic that gives the hero 
artificial ST does NOT provide magical armor.  Hits are Hits, after all.
