[Ryu-Kazuki]

I concur with Grandpa. Not even for just first timers, but on top of that, people who LE and use certain items are forced to either deal with a penalty until they regain STR stat, or use shit items until then. For someone who'd been around the block and earned their keep, it makes no RP sense for them to suddenly suck with their weapons just because they added onto their story.
