Me, I'd make him a 13-13-6-21-9-9-13 Slasher.  You couldn't get
more than a 14 WL, so put the points where it can help.  I'd go offensive
because the Wl isn't great.  He doesn't have a fantastic DF, so an AB is not
a good idea.  He doesn't have the SZ for a basher, or the WL for the Lunger.
He might make a good striker, but I think strikers are more difficult to
run basically because you have so *many* options.  With these stats he'd
be able to use all the good slasher weapons except Battle Axe, would learn
quickly and would probably start off with expert in riposte and close to
it in quite a few other areas.  Slashers are fairly easy to run, too.
'Course, it could be I don't know what I'm talking about, but so far I'm
5-2 with my slashers.

Well, you *could* make this guy 8-9-17-15-15-9-11, which is about
the lowest I'd go for a long-term fighter.  Still, he'd probably be best as
an offensive Dixie, I'd go with a basher myself.  Pump up St and Df to hit
often and hard, say 13-9-17-13-9-8-15-BA.  You'd probably do great to
tremendous damage.  I'd say challenge parriers, and try and hurt them through
their parries.
