From my (and others') experience, these numbers are a bit low for cannon
fodder... ah, street ronin :). For a human ronin, a Body of 6 is a minimum,
preferably around 8 after augmentation; Will and Int in the 5-6 range, at
least. This will tend to bring Charisma and Strength down a bit, depending
on priorities, but Strength can be augmented, too, and Charisma usually
doesn't help all that much in a firefight :).

For a mage, maximum Willpower is just about a requirement for long-term
survival.
