[QUOTE="engrishonly, post: 5418083, member: 38460"] Alright... The nuts and bolts of it, as we wait for others. Village Born, leads to Religious Setting, to Temple Acolyte, leads to Professional Soldier, to Bannerman Age: 21 8 pts to divide between Will & Perception 17 pts to divide between Power, Forte, Agility, Speed (See [URL="http://www.burningwheel.org/wiki/index.php?title=Downloads#It_Revolves_on_This"]the intro chapter[/URL] PDF for info about these basic abilities & what they mean) 9 pts for lifepath skills: Conspicuous*, Doctrine, Read*, Riding, Sword, Temple-wise, Write, Armor Training** (* Required, ** Costs 2 pts to unlock & does not advance) Plus, 3 General skill points (Can be spent on any general skill or any lifepath skill. Ask if you are looking for something. Oratory (speaking to a crowd) and/or Persuasion (convincing individuals) may be something you want) Conspicuous is the skill to make yourself seen, and to stand out in a crowd. Doctrine is knowledge/lore about the religious faith. Temple-wise (and any "wise") is the BW style of knowledge skill. Armor Training eliminates some movement penalties for wearing heavier armor. ... Traits: Tonsured, Faithful, Honored, plus 2 extra points Tonsured means your character has shaved his head as part of the rites of joining the Order Faithful unlocks the ability to call on Faith Honored is a characteristic of a bannerman. The expectation of this character trait is that the character must represent someone who truly deserves to be honored. This is just another step, but the concept seemed good. The toughest part is in writing Beliefs & Instincts. [/QUOTE]
