Life Dagger.
This template requires a bit of hard work in the beginning
to get you going, but provides the benefits of having
strong melee defense and life magic skills for a great
combination of vulning and tanking. Dagger characters
in general run faster and have higher melee defense skills
- but their strength suffers because of the need for high
Coordination and Quickness.
(BONUS: Hilt a dagger - and this template double strikes
at 250 Dagger skill and tripple strikes at 350.)
(UPDATE: When looking for a hiltable dagger, you should
start out with a Slashing/Piercing or Piercing only dagger with
the following stats - 2-6 or 2-7 and +7 Melee Defense and +7
Attack Bonus minimums. This should almost always be the first
hilt that a dagger character acquires.)

Extreme Life/Dagger characters are usually started with
100 COORDINATION and 100 QUICKNESS. The only time you
may wish to deviate from this is to have additional magic
casting abilities. You would change to 100 COORDINATION,
70 QUICKNESS, 100 FOCUS. This would also help your Healing
and your Arcane Lore.
After level 32 you could go for whatever your tastes
prefer. If you plan on having lots of vassals, go for
leadership at level 50. Otherwise you might like to have
lockpick at level 60.
