I have had the rules for a bit, but only ever read through them.Tarren (assistant pig keeper by any chance?). It looks like Tarren is about 14 yo. I have my reservations about playing a child. But if it is the way you want to go, let me know. The following are just picked from the RAW based on your description. Some are better fits than others. Let me know what you like, what you don't, and any ideas you might have. Knock yourself out, I'm easy.You get 16 Ability points to spend on 5 abilities, and 30 skill points. You roll a number of d10 based on your ability and anything under your skill rank is a success.--- Background Options ---Cityfolk: Doesn't sound like Tarren was raised in a city, but he has the feel of a city slicker (2 for one on Streetwise and Geopgraphy (City), 1 for 3 on Survival)Plainsfolk: Probably the norm around B-F. Although Farming or Craft would be more appropriate than Riding I would have thought (2 for 1 on Animal Handling and Riding, 1 for 3 on Streetwise)Ward: My favorite concept, but not a great match in some ways. If a ward of Lumin, it would put him right in the middle of things (points may be allocated to one magical ability if desired, 1 for 3 on Influence skills.)--- Gimmick Options ---The first seems like a shoe in. The others, well, they will give you an idea. A positive gimmick costs 1 Ability Point or 3 Skills points.Poor Reputation*: (-2D with Influence based skills when dealing with people familier with his reputation.)Quick-Witted: (+1D on reaction rolls.)Sure Footed: (+1D on all rolls relying on coordination or agility.)--- Vocation Options ---These kind of assume the character is a little older. If you decide to keep Tarren at 14, I will probably do things a little differently (say 3 or 4 skills with few skill points and the Undersized Gimmick).Bandit: I picked this one for the skills mostly (duelling, legerdemain, stealth, gambling, commerce, performance, streetwise, subterfuge.)</blockquote>
