Well, the Parry-Riposte is probably the most unused style in DM, and
there just aren't many people running them.  But there have been
newsletter articles written and people discussing PRs and what I've
heard is basically the same thing from all sources.

Run them with low Offensive Effort, low Activity Level and low Kill
Desire, ie experiment with numbers of 5 and less.  But don't run
them like a scum TP -> 1-1-1-Parry.  With low numbers for a strategy
he will parry attacks and counterattack (riposte) and wind up
making more attacks than an offensive-styled opponent.  This has
worked for the few PRs that I have run: they will take away the
initiative of opponents.

Light armor is good, but he can go up to ASM or ACM.  The Epee is
the best weapon.  Train skills, don't raise his Wit or Will for
a looong time.

Oh yeah, your PR is very well-designed, although many of us will
wonder why he has only a 16 Wit and Will.
