[@Genni] [color=lightgray][i]On the other hand, Meat Mallet would be dead by the second round, having taken the full 8 strength hits each time.[/i][/color]

Having said that, he'd also be hitting for 7 (8 when his 'Pain Induced Rage' kicked in) so unless we're facing an horrifically overpowered opponent he'd probably be able to take the target down at the same time, or at least bloodied it up for the rest of us.

At the same time, if Metar activated his power in the first round Meat would be covered for the second, giving you a chance to repair him before facing another attack.
