So, if I’m at 90 defence, I probably don’t need as much ego and can afford to put some extra into offence. Unless there’s a minimum cap on damage if your defence goes so high. I’m not clear on how defence works in detail, the wiki isn’t too helpful as apparently if you have defence at 100, no forums will do any damage.

I would anyway want enough offence so I can ideally get 2 hits per thread, but the extra turn on Racial Tension (possibly twice) means extra hits there. Awkward.
