Hey, pretty good.  I see a couple of possibilities with this guy.

1)  13-13-5-15-15-6-17 WS.  Damn good warrior.  Put in ASM/H and
give him a Morning Star and Medium Shield, send him out 5-2-5 in 1 and 2,
6-3-6 in  3 and 4, and 5-2-5 the rest of the way.  Parry in 1 & 2, and
go 1-3-1-P in desperation.  Stay away from scum.

2)  13-13-5-15-11-6-21 AB.  Since you're relatively new to the game,
an AB is probably not the way to go, but I figured I ought to at least
mention it.

>9-7-11-5-12-10-16

I'd make this guy a dixie lunger, 13-7-11-5-17-10-21.  Give him
a long spear, send him out naked, and let him go 10-10-7.  Challenge other
offensives and get the jump on them.  If you want, aim for the head and go
for kills.  Train Strength, then Speed, then Con.  Could rack up a few wins.
DA him if he starts to lose, or if he kills someone on a team that has a
warrior that can beat him.

>9-9-9-13-14-4-12

Nice. I'd go 11-9-9-17-17-4-17, Wall of Steel again.  This guy's
even better than number 1.  Again, ASM/H, but give him a QS or BS/ME.
Same strategy.  Train skills.  He could go a long way.

Okay, in general you don't want to put points in CN.  Ever.  Also,
in most stats 17 is a magic number.  After that anything less than 21 is
wasted, so you don't want to end up with a 19, like your second line-up
there in WL.  With WT & WL especially a 17 is verrr nice.  Finally, DF
is very, very, important; right up there with WT & WL; some folks place
it above WL; me, it depends on the style.  Plus, odd numbers are good.
There tend to be more skills at odd numbers.  So, leaving the DF at 12
is not such a good idea.  Get it up to 13, 15 or 17.  The line-up I
gave above for a waste is something most managers would pawn their mother
for (well, maybe not most).
