Okay, I've got a striker recently, and I'm wondering a bit about
how to run her.  Actually, I've got a pretty good idea, but I just want
to make sure I'm not doing anything stupid or overlooking anything obvious.

The set-up: 10-5-13-15-15-15-11, Striker, right-handed, intelligent
(lots of little things, always thinking ahead), Quick and Active, Poor End,
Very Frail, Very Little Weight, Incredibly Quick and Elusive, can do Good
Damage.

I think it's pretty clear I'm not going to be scumming with this
warrior.  I thought the best thing to do would be to challenge offensives,
run here in ALE-L 10-10-10-D in the first minute, 10-10-4 in desperation,
give her a longspear and aim for and protect the head.  I figure strategy
in the other minutes doesn't matter too much, because she's going to be
exhausted by then if she hasn't been taken out.  So, the basic strategy
is hit first hard and end the fight quickly.

I'm training ST up to 11 to give her better weapon selection, and
ti should also give normal endurance, and getting CN up once will improve
carry, but I don't care too much about that.  The second CN increase will
take her from VF to Frail, so I figure I'll train CN after about five fights.

Seem reasonable?
