Kensai > Mage and a roll of 98. Advice on point allocation, pip choice, and when to duel?

I got an amazing roll using the autoroller - a roll of 98.

Human Kensai, Lawful Neutral

I have the game running but I thought I would ask for some quick opinions on where to put the stats. I am going through the first game, so I know I will have some tomes to obtain. Here is what I was thinking:

18/76
18
18
17
15
12

I was thinking INT could be kept at 17, eventually getting it to 18 and finally 19 via the machine in BG2.

I was thinking Wish is useful, so I would eventually get my wisdom to 18 and finally 19, and I could dream sacfrice it back down to 18, as 18 is all I will need - if Wish benefits cap at 18, that is. I am not sure they do.

And I am not sure if I will ultimately need 19 int for a dueled mage. How many spells are really useful? The main thing I am worried about is whether I can go with such low charisma - I don't want to use the ring. I am going to want a mix of evil and good characters so I am thinking charisma might come in handy. I am definitely going to want Serevok and Keldorn both, which may not even be possible.

And then there is the issue of where to put the pips. I am think scimitars (for one of Drizzt's weapons and Rashard's Talon), along with duel wield. Then I can grandmaster scimitars in BG2 and start putting points in Katana for Celestial Fury + Belm (and Belm + Spectral Brand for enemies requiring +5). Is that even the best plan?

I am pretty set on dueling at 13 for the extra half attack. Unless someone can convince me of why I should do it sooner.

I have the game running and will surf the web letting it run awhile. I could use some advice if anyone happens to be on and can give me advice on what to do.
