I agree with you on making him a striker, but sorry, I would have
gone about it in a different way.

My choice would be 17-5-4-21-10-12-15.  Yours is probably the
better design in the long long run, but Marty, I know you a bit and you
are stuck in a slow arena.  Do you realize how long it's going to take
you to get your version of a striker to 25 Wt, 21+ Wt and Dft?  Forever.
Have fun with the guy.  The strength will give this guy a couple of extra
, well only one attack skills, but he will hit harder with slightly less
endurance.  Your a striker and You want to win with quickness and a hard
blow.  I think this design optimizes the striker design for your use.
Someone in a fast arena with consistent 2 week turnaround, sure use the
points to bring will to 15 instead.

Exactly why a striker or basher is suited to this type of stats,
but with the small size, I think basher is out.

Are you nuts.  I had a 6-14-7-15-21-4-15 TP who got his Attack
expert in his first arena fight (After a 4-3 rookies tournament).  This
is the offensive TP, if you nurture him carefully.
