Let's Burn Up a Character

Crowstone: Lots of Will, favor Power and Speed
AgentBlue: Favor Perception, favor Forte and Agility
NTA: Favor Perception, everything but Power
btp: What NTA said
Rules: Speed has to be less than max(Forte, Power).
I'm calling it this:

Will: 4
Per: 5
Pow: 4
Forte: 5
Agi: 5
Spd: 4

This works out nicely because it simplifies skill opening exponents - absolutely everything will open at B2.
Speaking of such things, we have reached the Skills section of the process!

Skill List:
*Dwarven Rune Script
*Stuff-wise
*Hold-wise
*Links
Mending
Scavenging
Rumor-wise
Oratory
Clan History
Conspicuous
Cadence-wise
Suicidal Bravery-wise

This is the list of skills that the dwarf has access to via his lifepaths, but he doesn't necessarily know all of them. The starred items on the list are lifepath requirements, so he has to at least know those. The first 4 of the 16 skill points must be spent to open them - I'll consider that done.

The remaining 12 points can be spent on any of these skills, either to learn them or to improve the ones that have already been learned. It costs one point to learn a skill, which as I said will open at B2. After that, they can be improved on a 1-for-1 basis. So, one point to open at B2, one more to go to B3, one more to reach B4, and so on.
B4 or so is reasonably competent. B6 is the upper limit of what can be bought during character creation, and it is quite good. Anything that gets left at B2 is something he'll be able to do, but not particularly well - but on the other hand, B2 skills grow quickly during play!
There will be a chance after this to buy some skills not on this list, also.

Here's how we'll do this: The first 6 posters get to each pick 2 skills to spend points on. If nobody's posting and all the points aren't used up, I'll open a second round with the remaining points.
