ST
ST 13 + 0 = 13
CN 10 + 0 = 10
SZ 11 + 0 = 11
WT 15 + 6 = 21
WL  4 + 1 =  5
SP 10 + 1 = 11
DF  7 + 6 = 13

The low WL and DF precludes nearly every finesse style, and this char-
acter doesn't have the endurance necessary for bashing or lunging.  Thus,
you are left with the striker.  Actually, I rather like high WT low WL
strikers, especially if they have a DF of 13+.

Run him balls out, 10-10-6-HE-BD-Decis for the first minute with a war
hammer vs light (0,7), Longsword vs. Medium (8,14) and Broadsword vs.
heavy (15,+).  No armor, no backup weapons, and don't even *think* about
training stats.  Skills all the way.

>#2 12-10-7-13-8-3-17

AB
ST 12 + 1 = 13
CN 10 + 0 = 10
SZ  7 + 0 =  7
WT 13 + 4 = 17
WL  8 + 3 = 11
SP  3 + 2 =  5
DF 17 + 4 = 21

Very nice AB, very nice.  Run him like a lunger his first fight,
10-10-6-AB-LE-Lunge, with an EP vs light (0,7), LS vs. medium (8,14)
and LO vs. heavy (15,+).  Wear ALE/L and train skills all the way.

>#3 13-6-18-12-4-12-5

SL
ST 13 + 0 = 13
CN  6 + 0 =  6
SZ 18 + 0 = 18
WT 12 + 5 = 17
WL  4 + 2 =  6
SP 12 + 5 = 17
DF  5 + 2 =  7

They're a dying breed, but big, smart, quick slashers can still be run
to a winning record, and AD.  Go out full bore, 10-6-6-RA-AM-None,
in no body armor, and training skills.  Use a SH vs light (0,7), and
BS vs. everything else (8,+).  I like this guy a lot!

Have fun.  You've got some interesting roll-ups there!
