Aid: Interesting bit, if damage does in fact come out of Aided ST... just before being hit, Aid yourself. It's a guessing game as to how much, but you essentially turn physical damage received during that time into fatigue/exhaustion, which recovers with rest at 1 per 15 minutes.

If all ST loss comes out of Aided ST, then: lets say you're a wizard with 9 ST. Turn 1 you Aid yourself for 8 ST. Turn 3 you Aid yourself for 8 ST minus however much damage you suffered or used in the meantime. And so on, until the fight is over. At that point, stop Aiding yourself, and when it finishes wearing off you're at 1 ST.

Even better if you have a source of ST already, say, via Staff II. Or Drain Strength, which will heal you of fatigue/exhaustion...
