Here's a wierd Striker design I'm running.  He's currently 4-5 in the
initiates, which isn't great but almost .500 and he's a definite learner.

ST 11 : Just right for his size (does Great Damage)
	CN 14 : Way too high but I was stuck with it!
	SZ 17 : Ditto.
	WT 17 : As high as I could make it.
	WL  7 : !!! I thought this would really hurt, but see below.
	SP  9 : Low breakpoint.
	DF  9 : Ditto.

As I recall, I spent the 14 points mostly in Wit, splitting the rest up in
WL and DF (with most of the extra in WL).  In short, it wasn't a good roll-up
but I was trying to experiment.

My reasoning was based on the fact that I had seen a lot of Strikers last a
long time (seven plus minutes) while swinging all the time.  So I figured that
if endurance was going to be a problem for a roll-up, make it a Striker.  Also,
with a big size if he hits first it should hurt!  Turns out he has very little
endurance, but since I run him 10-8-8 D his fights only last 1-2 minutes most
of the time anyway (I don't use 10-10-10 D 'cause he gets tired in minute one
when I do).

I guess he'll probably not do well in AD, but I am hoping that the skills he
learns will make him competitive for a while.  And I feel like I made
SOMETHING out of an otherwise DA roll-up.

Comments?
