Probably Horns, as that modifier applies after dauntless. Maybe this is the only occurence, where I could imagine NOT taking +ST over anything else...

For getting hit Str3 is still a lot better than Horns. Also for Blocking. This is a very difficult choice, though...

I did not vote (yet)

Thought about it a bit, and though it's more of a risk, I'd also go for the (more offensive) Horns!

The strength helps you out on defence, and that will keep fewer 2 die blocks coming your way. He's a better player with the strength than he is with the dauntless.

Horns and dauntless don't help when you get hit. ALways ST+1...but going for the Horns is probably a more fun choice.

I had too think for a while but I went for Horns, two dice blitz against ST3 receivers, that would be cool!

I'd still take +ST. Makes him far less vulnerable to getting hit, and that's important for GRs.

thing with taking the str is that it kinda makes dauntless rather useless

I voted st, its guaranteed to work, the dauntless u have isnt. It would also depend on the rest of the team.

Stunty is not an option anymore is it? I though it was a racial charcteristic now.
