Horncaller it is! Our dwarf joins the army, but is put in charge of battlefield communication. After seven years of this, he's pretty well-versed in the dwarven Links system for transmitting messages between camps.
Stats:
After all this, he is a fresh young dwarf of 80 years. This combined with the stat points earned through his lifepaths gives him stat pools of 9 Mental, 18 Physical points to divide between his mental and physical stats, respectively.
Mental Stats:
Will is the social intelligence and emotional stat.
Perception is the awareness and mental acuity stat.
Physical Stats:
Power is the strength stat.
Forte ("fort") is the character's stamina/constitution.
Speed is acrobatic dexterity - how good you are at dodging and tumbling.
Agility is manual dexterity - how good you are with your hands.
An even spread would require 5s and 4s in everything. So, for Mental, pick which of Per and Will is more important, and for the physical stats, pick which two should get the 5s.
Or, if you don't think the spread should be even, mention what should get 6 points and what should only get 3 points to preserve the balance. (6 and 3 are the max and min for character creation.) Or I guess for the physical stats, one thing could get 6 and everything else get 4. That's an option, too.
Oh, and just to make this a little bit more complicated, dwarves get the Stout trait, which means that their Speed stat must always be lower than whichever of Power or Forte is highest.
