I've always been interested in what I called "Weapons Master" strikers
(they are the only type of striker that I'm even remotely interested
in):  A character who can literally use every weapon in the game.

If you want to at least see what a roll-up for one looks like, try:

ST 15 + 2 = 17
CN 14 + 0 = 14
SZ  8 + 0 =  8
WT 10 + 5 = 15
WL  5 + 1 =  6
SP  9 + 0 =  9
DF  9 + 6 = 15

I've run one or two myself (although mine were somewhat larger, with
smaller CNs) and they are quite a strategic challenge to manage for, and
against.  Imagine, a style that can use nearly every tactic, and a
warrior that can use every weapon.  Not great for your record, but
an interesting experience!
