Well, if you want scummy, go 9-21-10-11-21-5-7  Now THATS scummy! :)

What wouldnt be bad is something like 7-17-10-13-21-5-11.  You could make him
TP or even go PL or PS.  Scum until he gets a few fights under his belt.  This
guy here could end up 19-1 by scumming alone.  Plus he's gonna learn a decent
amount of skills with a 13 WT.  I wouldnt bother raising the WT to 15 or 17.
The 11 DF and the 21 WL are more important IMHO.  Either way, youve got a guy
thats gonna go bare minimum .900.  If he doesnt, youre either challenging
poorly, running weird, or didnt set him up like I said.  :)

No!  SP is NEVER too low!  Never never never never....  SP is THE most useless
stat.  Yes, this guys would have offensive potential, but would be so much
better as a defensive.  Even as a defensive, with some experience, will swing a
>decent amount.  But you'll have to wait it out a bit b4 that starts happening.

If youre not gonna get the 7, dont raise to 6.  No point.  I figure Ill get
flamed for raising the CN in my earlier example, but I figure that there isnt
THAT much difference in the learning abilities of a 13 and 15 WT.  Esp for a
guy who's gonna have a lot of long fights.  You learn more when you win.  So
set up to win!!  You'll need the 7 ST to be able to raise and have a chance of
wearing some armor.  That leaves you an extra point.  Thus I put it in CN for
the extra hps.  Unless you really want that decise skill or whatever it is you
get at a 6 SP  :).
