Mount&Blade/Character creation

Note
The weapons proficiency figures for one-handed weapons and polearms were derived by experimentation, and may not be entirely accurate, as the program seems to use a relational algorithm to arrive at them.

Rather than having classes to choose from, Mount&Blade instead lets you decide elements of your past which help determine your starting abilities and equipment and acts as a sort of difficulty setting. Unlike some RPGs your starting stats are not "rolled" for you, so every time you choose a particular background element the base stats will be the same.

Once you have chosen the aspects of your background you move onto point distribution.

The information below is applicable for v1.011. For earlier versions see Character creation pre1.011

[edit] Point distribution

The point distribution screen.

Once you have chosen your background and proficiency you will see the character creation screen. First you have to decide whether you want to be allowed to quit without saving. Enabling this will allow you to quit and reload your game to undo a disastrous battle or otherwise experiment with things.

Once you have decided on a saving mode you get to distribute points to your attributes (see those pages for more information on what each does). Before you can continue you must distribute all skill, attribute, and weapon points, and also give your character a name.

[edit] Face generation

The face generation screen.

Next you get to customise your face. You can rotate the face by holding Image:PC Mouse Left Click.png and dragging around, and you can customise various features by moving the sliders or clicking the buttons. You can also click Randomize to have the game create a face (which you can then tweak if you wish). Once you're happy with your face, click Done to finish your character. You may change your looks later on, through the character page.
