Yep, that is the general premise behind my NIC 4 setup.  I plan on
clubbing lairs and small villages to get my prestige up before
delving into the land of influencing.  The other consideration
was that it is a hell of a lot easier to practice influence up
to 13 than it is to practice personal combat up to 25.

So, 24 points went to PC, 40 to a skill between 1-10, and 16 into
characteristics.  My sidekick has ranger and knight.  I'll learn
both of them with my main to maximize survivability in the early
game.  When I switch over to influencing, I'll probably drop
knight and pick up stealth.

So I practice influence for around 10 turns while beating on
lairs and villages.  Then I switch over to influencing.  I
don't know how it is going to work out, but that is my plan...
