Hey, not *too* bad.  I'd go 5-12-15-17-15-9-11 Slasher.  Not great,
but okay.  Your weapon selection will suck, though.  Might go
9-12-15-15-13-9-11, but I wouldn't.  Actually, the first set-up isn't too
bad for a Parry-Striker.  Being so big with a low strength isn't good,
though (as far as style selection goes, that is).

Could be, could be.  I'd go 9-9-10-7-15-17-17 myself, but either
ST or LU would be a good style for either set-up.

Uh, you can't add more than 6 to any stat, so you're limited to a
9 DF, which puts a real crimp in your long-term plans.  I'd go
8-12-14-17-11-13-9 and make a slasher out of it.  You're close to scimitar
(train ST by one), and that's all you really need.  Most of the defensive
styles are out because of the low will, as is lunger, and a basher needs
more ST.  So, it's slasher or striker, and a slasher can do better with
the lower ST.

Hope this helps more than it hurts...
