not sure if this is the right forum...

how would you stat this guy?

ranger seems like a good choice since it allows two-weapon fighting without the necessary dexterity, but without armor our dim-witted friend seems doomed to a low armor class.

Beyond that, I'm not really sure. Ranger is probably a reasonably good choice, with the TWF style.

yes, that's, um, a no-brainer.

my sincerest apologies.

Actually, probably fighter rather than ranger. A human ranger gets 5 skill ranks per level - I cannot imagine that Groo gets that many skills. For 20 point buy, how about:

STR 18 (16+2) (10 pts)
DEX 16 (10 pts)
CON 16 (10 pts)
INT 7 (-4 pts)
WIS 7 (-4 pts)
CHA 8 (-2 pts)

FEATS
Toughness, Two-Weapon Fighting, Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Wakizashi)

Although Groo appears to use katanas, I picked the light weapon to minimize the TWF penalty.

Your choice also unifies feat lines, giving him each feat a step earlier, at a cost of one damage.

That little blue thingie must be some form of magic item that helps him on AC. Then again, even the better armored swordsmen wear what appears to be inferior metal over leather. I'm betting Groo's swords are either high end iron, possibly low grade steel in a bronze age world. Having mucked about with bronze casting, that stuff is HEAVY! No one would wear it unless they had to.
