Great roll-up.  What to do, what to do...

Well, you can get 21 WL, so I would.  That would shape most of my
decision making.  I'd go

4-3-12-17-21-10-17.

What style?  Low CN says you want an offensive, probably, but with
that 21 WL a TP would be attractive.  Also, the low ST limits weapon selec-
tion severely.  Train it up to 5 will get you Short Sword and Small Shield
as well as Dagger and Hatchet.  Your best bet would probably be a slasher,
although a striker would also be okay.  If you want to be unorthodox, go
for an offensive TP.  Weird, I know, but it'll confuse people.  With this
setup, your base ratings should get you Exs in Attack, Riposte and maybe
Defense, before you get your style mods.

Or, you could go the 17 WL route:

8-3-12-17-17-10-17.  Better weapon selection certainly.  Or
	5-3-12-17-17-13-17.  Would be awfully quick.  If I were to make
this into a striker, this is the set-up I would use.  But, I'd probably
go for the original set-up and a slasher.

Okay, every one tell me how stupid this is :-)

9-5-9-15-13-16-17-ST.  He should get the jump on just about everyone.  Maybe
a slasher.

>12-9-14-13-5-9-8

Yeessh.  Okay, um...

17-9-14-17-5-9-13-BA.  This guys never going anywhere longterm.  So, try to
get a few kills.  Maybe a lunger instead.
