well how to start...
i always liked the pikes.. but everyone keeps telling me to stay away from them:
but now that FSquests are onthe horizon. i really really would like to try the pikeman.
i have always thought that the class is grossly underrated, now its up to me to shut up all those naysayers that tried to dissuade me from the pike 
this is the template i came up with (after much searching, considerin etcetc)
Master Brawler
Master Pikeman
Fencer 4 4 4 0
TKA 4 3 0 3
this is my most basic template... im still stuck with 18 skillpoints
like i see it i have 3 options
Swordman 0 0 3 0 (even more defense)
Scout 1 0 0 0 (even the slightest bit of terrain negotiation helps running those warping critters down)
medic 0 0 1 0 (can i use stimB's with this??)
please do comment, and be nice 
this is my first serious attempt at preplanning a template hehe

You don't have to have 0010 Medic to use stim B's, most of the time you can use them a Novice Medic

alot of people like to do rifleman/pikeman because polearm hit3 has a high dmg modifier so it is awsome for pve (especially with those 900+ dmg looted pikes) and rifles just tears stuff up... if you are trying to make a pvp template then a good way to go is m pike, 4440 doc, 3040 scout (the hunting line is just to spend those extra skill points)

im sorry i should have clarified...
this template is intended for PvE purely, im not looking to PvP (for now). i just want to get a good solid template that enables me to take on just about anything this game can throw at me...
i am TKM now but quite frankly, it does not do it for me...

go swordsman
That small amount of medic will not serve you well, just get buffs and hunt.
the template i am currently working on is very similar to yours and i find that i never use the medic i have as it is nearly useless.
when you make your template consider especially def vs kd and dizzy as these are fight ending states which need to be avoided as much as possible.
good luck

The current template I'm building is:
Master Pike
Master Brawler
TKA 4304
Fencer 0440
Medic 0040
But I'm thinking about dropping medic becuase I only PvE and buffs+intimidate 2take care of me well. This would leave me some headroom to boost my defenses way up. This is the template I'm contimplating:
Master Pike
Master Brawler
TKA 4304
Fencer 2440
Swordsman 0040
This would give me 85 def vs dizzy, 105 def vs kd, 120def vs posture change, 65 defvs stun, 70 def vs blind,154 melee defense (i know its overkill, but it maxes out the ranged stat), 127 ranged defense, 71 def acuity
I think this would be a pretty decent combo to make up for lack of defenses. Plus it would provide me with a wide range out melee skills in case i need one to finish something off (like a hammer+head hitfor low mind).

Why does he need Swordsman when he can use Pikes instead?
