Uh, I'd go Dixie basher.  15-12-14-6-15-13-9.  Put him in heavy
armor and give him a big stick (maul, battle axe, whatever).  Run him at
a low activity level the first minute, say 6-2-4, then go 8-8-8-B in 2,
challenge offensives.

> 9-15- 8- 9-11-13- 5

I'd make this guy a scum, a TP, say 9-21-8-9-17-13-7, put him in
APA/F, give him a couple of medium shields, run 1-1-1-P.  Not too exciting,
I admit.  If you have ethical problems with scum, go 9-15-8-13-15-13-11, say
and make him, what, a parry-lunge?  I'm not sure how I'd run him, though.

> 8- 9-19- 5- 5-13-11

Ick.  Not much you can do with this guy.  Maybe 14-9-19-5-5-15-17,
make him a striker or slasher.  Go for the head early, DA real fast.

> 4-14-11-14- 8- 7-12

Hmm.  With a strength like that you don't have too many options.
One would be to make him an AB, say 7-14-11-17-11-7-17.  That's not too
bad, actually.  Low speed doesn't hurt ABs, and they don't need big damage
'cause they can hit the same spot (RA or head) frequently.  I'd go with
that.

> 3- 4-16-10-15- 8-14

Saay...4-4-16-15-17-11-15 SL.  Train that strength up to five
pretty soon, that'll give you hatchet, dagger and short sword.  You'll
have no chance against heavy armor, but it'll be an ok character.  Oh
for a chance to trade the SZ for SP.

> Thanks,

You're welcome.  Oh, and another piece of advice: don't take my
advice unless someone else corroborates it.  I'm not too experienced at
this kind of thing.
