Elf would be a good race for this. OK you lose 2 points on strength but that doesn't matter really except right at the start. What you can get in return is -1 AP on you necro skills if you take elemental affinity as you'll always be standing in a puddle of blood. Mosquito swarm for 1 point is decent. It gets less good later if you put all your points in STR but at the start it is great.

I do like playing Glass Cannon - it is fun. I find success a bit conditional on finding gear that gives immunity to stun/terrified though.

Necro/Inquisitor is good combination too as both scale off INT and you can use the warfare skills with a staff.
