** Now here's the thing.  If I continued to play this character, I may get the better of Garfuka over time, but who knows.
** My gear is crap, so upping that means I can start to even out the damage battle.
** I'm also not even using stoneskin or prot v metals or aura, which with all three should swing this in my favor.
** However, even in the best(ish) case of me with comparable gear, prot v evil, stoneskin, metals, aura, enlarged, flying
** My build really only has riposte and bash to go on.  All I can do is prep more.
** Garfuka, on the other hand, can prep more, but also grappleweapon, enlarge and spinebreaker to wait out preps
** and a variety of other tactics that I've got little counter for.  That's why I found this build unplayable, despite the unbalanced
** and brokenness that is STSF.

** I'm not sure I've quite captured the complex interplay of countering going on with these logs, but while the number 
** of commands in combat is limited, the interplay of what is going on is considerably more complex than it might appear at
** first glance.
