Yes, definitely raise STR to 11 for the LO.  10-6-6 can work, but for getting
the jump on someone like a lunger 10-10-6 is a lot better.  If you are getting
close to adex DEF or adex PAR I'd start running moderate (6-6-6-N or so).
Decise and riposte skills are fairly poor for PLs, so I'd try and get away
from the 10-10 strategy and eventually just use 8-7-6-N or 6-6-6-N.

If you're critting well with the SC, I'd stick with it (maybe try out LO for
a turn or two).  It's no surprise that Donny II and Mr. Lee's favorite weapon
was the SC. :)
