I just might turn this rollup into a burner and go:

16-9-7-10-20-12-10 LU/BA/SL

Burn WL, WT, DF and ST and evaluate performance after 4 arena fights.

I like your numbers as a BA. Or maybe 8 WT/7 DF for the use of the War Hammer instead of the Mace. I would also consider the 21-8-7-8-21-12-7 version as a funky offensive WS, using the BS even though he's one short on WT.

Here is what I'd consider:

15-8-7-7-16-12-5 -> 15-8-7-13-21-12-7 B/L/SL (+1 point to taste - CN for the Lunger)
-> 15-11-7-11-21-12-7 WOS
-> 15-11-7-7-21-12-11 TP (non-burner)
-> 15-14-7-7-20-12-9 TP (burner)

Personally, I doubt I'd burn this guy (or if I did, with an off-style like PS or something silly like that). It is certainly an option and would win fights (most likely lots of fights), but it doesn't excite me.

16-8-7-13-21-12-7 ST or BA. I'd probably burn ST to 17 for use of HL. I like this warrior and would definitely run it in an arena! Have fun terrorizing the scum in your arena!!! Very Happy

The biggest reason to pass on 21 Strength (for me):

Terrablood reports 44% chance at good damage with 7 size.

These guys do roll good damage and it really makes you feel like you wasted all those points...

While not as sexy as other 21s, I love the 21 ST for ADM. Perhaps the biggest performance increase for non-AB styles occurs when you max out Attack skills and train your ST to 25. Going from Good or Great damage to Awesome or Devastating is huge.

You can certainly train a 17 ST to 25 in ADM, it just takes an extra year or more.

That said, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the 15-17 ST designs that others have proposed, especially if your focus is on the basic game.

i'd be inclined to go 15-9-7-11-21-12-9 SL
bumping CN once

or for fun... a burner...
16-9-7-10-20-12-10
bumping WL, WT, DF, ST, CN

have a nice day.

I love the 15-8-7-13-21-12-7. I'd add the last point to deftness and go with the SL. Without question it would be a fun warrior to run.

Yeah, I like Assur's first set of numbers, and I agree with Roadkill and would go SL with it. Regardless of Wit, you will know in the first 5 fights if he is a Decise favorite learn SL and then go from there.
