For numbers there is only one choice:
16-3-11-17-17-3-17.  (who ever made the 19 DF, either knows something I
don't, or is silly).  Now you have 10 styles to choose from:

This would make an awsome AB.  And a very dead AB.  However, that's not
much different from any other type of AB (including the 16 CN ones).  If
you don't mind cringing at every hit, and you won't commit suicide when
(not if) he dies, go aim! (especially if there are alot of scum in YFA--
Your Favorite Arena)

TP, WS, PR:
Here, the low CN is actually a disadvantage.  With these styles (at least
until high-regular) you are sacrificing the first blow, and attempting to
parry.  If you fight someone with a 1/2 decent attack, and init, you
_will_ get hit, and this case, probably go down.  _If_ you live to AD, you
are probably looking at a record no better than .500.

ST:  If you (I know, I know, it's not you) make this a ST, I will
personally hunt you down and kill you.  (Although it will probably win
alot of fights-- probably not get any TV's)

PS:  Slightly more redeemable than a ST.  This would work, but I wouldn't
try running defensive.  This is probably your best choice (along with,
gaaak, ST), if all you cared about was Basic DM.

PL/LU BA SL: I put the '/' between PL and LU, because with a rollup like
this,  you can't really do anything with the PL but run like a LU.
PL is the classic 'god' style, but with a three CN I would go LU, just for
the added decis (== survivability).  This is certainly contestable,
however.

SL will generally be slightly faster than LU (which is good), but have
significantly weaker defense (which is bad). I could see making this a SL,
but I'd cross my fingers for a good decis bonus, or favorite learn.  If
your SL's favorite learn (or tactic, I suppose) was something other than
decis or defense, you'd probably be in deep trouble...

BA are similar to SL, except they suck.  I might make this a basher IF
(all of the below):
1) I was an aim-o-phobic.
2) I already had a god-like LU and SL on my team.
3) I like to be dissapointed.
