The process is a bit involved and I don't have the time to go into it right
now (I'm taking a break from work - Sshh! Don't tell anyone! :), but the basic
process is this: Each stat gives you a certain amount of skills. For example, a
17 wit gives you one each of att, init, dec, def and dec. There are several
skill/stat charts out there. Boss Rat has one and so does the Neon Necromancer.

First you figure out what the character's bases are from his stats alone
(they might be 50 att, 40 init, 45 dec, 45 par, 45 def, 60 rip). Then
you add/subtract the appropriate style bonus. For a LU, my research shows the
following common LU bonuses: 15 att, -10 par, 5 def, 5 rip, 25 init, and
15 dec. If I decide to make this guy a LU, I could expect the following
bases for him: 65 att, 65 init, 60 dec, 35 par, 50 def, 65 rip. Remember these
are the most *common* values. Actual mileage will vary but my guesses are
usually only one skill off for the most part. Sometimes you end up with higher
bonuses (for a "lucky" warrior) and  other times you get lower bonus for those
"unlucky" warriors (like my waste with the absolute lowest ratings that we've
ever seen in both parry and defense - kind of makes you wonder why you play
the game when luck or the absence there of can make such a big difference
and you have no control over it what so ever...).

Simple, huh? It is actually. Of course, getting reliable data from which to
compute the style bonuses is the real pain ...
