You've got it down:Alright... Steps 2, 3, 4. Lifepaths, Age, Stats.Lifepaths:Born Villager, crossover to Religious Setting, to Temple Acolyte, crossover to Professional Soldier, to BannermanAge: 21Stats:See the stat descriptions at <a href="http://www.burningwheel.org/wiki/index.php?title=Downloads#It_Revolves_on_This" target="_blank">Downloads - Burning Wiki</a> for more info...The Mental stats are Will & Perception. You have 8 points to divide between the two.Will is like D&D Charisma... both personality & force of character.Perception is what it is. The ability to sense things.The Physical stats are Power, Forte, Agility, Speed. You have 17 points to divide between the four.Power is physical strength. Forte is like D&D endurance.Agility is anything requiring manual dexterity & quickness in a small space. Speed is straight line speed, the ability to cover distance.... ... ...Step 5, I will calculate myself. These are all derived stats.Step 6 is skills.Skill Points:9 pts, to be split between the following lifepath skills:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Conspicuous*, Doctrine, Read*, Riding, Sword, Temple-wise, Write, Armor Training**</li> </ul>(* Required (1 point minimum), ** Costs 2 pts to unlock & does not advance) Plus, 3 General skill points to spend(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)Skill descriptions:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Conspicuous is the skill to make yourself seen, and to stand out in a crowd. This is what Bannermen use to "say", I am here & I carry the banner for my Lord.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Doctrine is knowledge/lore about the religious faith.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Temple-wise (and any "wise") is the BW style of knowledge skill. It  probably takes some explaining... I'll see if I've done it already in my  Blog here. Otherwise, that's the next topic for my blog.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Armor Training eliminates some movement penalties for wearing heavier  armor. If you want to wear heavier armor, you should invest in this  skill.</li> </ul>Okay... this is plenty for now. I'll be sending this in a PM shortly.</blockquote>
