I would *love* to hear a good answer to this.  For instance, does it
make any difference when you reach a new description level (Expert, GM),
or is it really just the percentages that count?  Or is it really ONLY the
"levels" that count?

And, especially, what effect do ATTRIBUTES have on all this, beyond
contributing to your original skill level (and other obvious original
traits like damage done, weigth carried e.t.c.)?

This has potential.  Alot.  Pick a style that doesn't rely on speed.

I personally wood probably go 11-13-5-15-13-5-21 PR or AB,
adding the last point to ST probably.

Never, ever add to Constitution.
Okay, maybe sometimes, but it's a good enough rule.

This guy is EXTREMELY flexible, capable of being a decent representative
of half the styles.  Don't try Lunge or strike with low speed, *probably*
not the parry versions of those either.  Otherwise, everybody seems to
recommend having 13+ in WT WL and DF for most characters and size 9 is
convenient since it's a break point for several good weapons.

11-9-9-17-17-4-17 looks really good to me for a couple of styles.

Then again, I have several years less practice then most of the people
posting on the net, so keep that in mind...
