I too would make a dixie lunger but I think that you need more speed
otherwise you could be vulernable to strikers.  I have had good
success with high speed dixies.  Also, lungers get enough base attack
to win in the initiates so the 21 deft seems a bit greedy and the
riposte/defense you get with 21 should *not* be needed (if they are
you are going to lose anyway).

I would go with

12-7-11-5-17-15-17

Train strength until you get great damage.  Train speed to 16 to
get more decise.  Run him 10-10-7 lunge all the time (well go
2-9-1 dodge in desperate and pray you never use it) and use
the longspear.  I think this guy is good for about 7-2 or so.
Oh yeah, no armor just a steel cap.  No backup either.  Just
sit back and watch the wins pile up.  You can train skills
but don't hold your breath.

Challenge warriors with few fights but with decent points (so
people won't cry down challenge) in the beginning.  Once you
have 25 points or so you can either down challenge (ugh) or
better yet, don't challenge anyone since the probability of
fighting an 0-0 guy or an almost newbie is very good.
