CIP: DETm^Kiku

I thought I'd share this special little snowflake before I inevitably end up splatting him trying to get a rune. The only DETm win on record was someone trying to get 'greater DE' that went Vehumet and became a conjurer on all the melee backgrounds (including Transmuter) I wanted to see how possible it was to actually play a DE as a transmuter. Answer: they are actually pretty powerful; High INT and transmutations Apt leads to getting blade hands online much earlier than other races could...making up for the -2 UC Apt. substantially. I used Regeneration stacking to make up for the lack of HP, though I'm sure Guardian Spirit would work just as well. Went Kiku for Necro 'Summons' backup and healing (didn't know if I'd get draining or Regen, but knew I'd get something to help not be QUITE as fragile.
