Following DivineCoffeeBinge’s guide let’s see.

As for name I’m going for Derek the first son of Derrick (Now I usually would add a grandpa and a great grandpa with a title related to the family blazon but I’ll give me some time to think about it)

With the Homeland Salisbury, Cymric culture and being a Roman Catholic with my religion ((WOO POPE!))

As a Vassal of Sir Roderick, Earl of Salisbury and I’ll be following instructions gicen to us and write Vassal Knight too.

Now, My manor will be Home: 1d20 1 which means I’m calling dibs on Baverstock (You guys can’t have it it’s mine [cue evil laugh])

Instead of leaving Age and year born blank I’m going with the basic at chargen and go with 21 and year 465.

Now we will move to traits, unlike Rhun who is by the way a filthy, filthy pagan. We civilized Roman Catholic knights believe in the following traits: Chaste, Forgiving, Merciful, modest, temperate.

At this moment I’m between picking Energetic, Just, Temperate or Modest as my famous trait, but as this seems to be an optional step I think I’ll leave this for later

Chaste13 / Lustful 7
*Energetic 10 / Lazy 10
Forgiving 13 / Vengeful 10
*Generous 10/ Selfish 10
Honest 10/ Deceitful 10
*Just 10 / Arbitrary 10
*Merciful 13 / Cruel 17
*Modest 13 / Proud 7
Pious 10 / Worldly 10
Prudent 10 / Reckless 10
Temperate 13 / Indulgent 7
Trusting 10 / Suspicious 10
*Valorous 15 / Cowardly 5

Now going to my passions as directed

Loyalty (lord) 15
Love (family) 15
Hospitality 15
Honor 15
Hate (Saxons) Salisbury Family History defined [TBA]

That was fun! Now to my attributes, Let’s see I don’t want to be ugly but I don’t care too much about being handsome but I want to have at least one significant feature but to play it safe I’ll put 13 in app. This leaves me 47 for the rest of the attributes and they will be as follows:

Size: 11
Dex: 13
Str: 13
Con: 10 (This will get to 13 with the bonus as a Cymric knight)
App: 13 (2 traits)

And my final atributes will be as follow:

Size: 11
Dex: 13
Str: 13
Con: 13
App: 13

Looks pretty balanced IMHO doesn't shine but doesn't seem lacking.

My derived statistics would be:

Damage: 24/6 = 4
Healing: 26/10 = 2.6 (Hopefully I won’t be poked too much by deadly stuffs) this I believe turns into a 2 It's a 3!
Movement: 26/10 = 2.6 again I believe it would turn into a 2 It is a 3 too!
Total HP: 24
KO: 6

My traits are:
Distinctive traits: 2d6 9 or 3,6
He will have a nice smile (3 is for face) and strong arms (6 is for limbs)

Seeing this is as far as DCB got I'll stop here too

Number one, thanks for the info on .5+ going up DCB you rock!

Number two: Remember how I was leaving my bumped trait firmly unbumped. Well I decided that I’d go for energetic too even if we end as the knights of the kiddy table

Number trois: I’m bumping honor to 16 keeping the other two bumps till after the Salisbury family thingy. (Look at me using big words and all that)
With that said... Onwards to step four!

So… skills, seeing as sword is important (I am a knight!) I’m bumping it to 15, now to pick my 3 10s seeing the list and the descriptions I believe that
Now for my extras, I’ll bump Size to 12 and DEX to 14, then I’m going to bump lances and tourneys each by 5 and that’s it this means I gain one HP and that is all (Also I’m better at jousting so Ulrich von Liechtenstein prepare to give me your horse)

Now to derive more skills among the skills (Hush you it sounds right in my head)

So 3 on horsemanship (13) 3 on dancing (5) 2 on intrigue (5) and 2 on playing the lute (5)

Now the big question: Do I want to age? NO let’s keep this simple. I know I can’t get yet to the chivalry nor religious bonus and the extra skill points is nothing to sneer at but on the other hand well this is an optional step and better to die young.

Other stuff

Ignoring glory like all the cool kids

Coat of arms. I’m probably going with a vert field and an Argent lamb guardant as the family arms in case I need them the difference will be an Or Canton

I got my 4 horses so let’s see starting equipment:

DivineCoffeeBinge posted:

We'll get to Squires in a bit... ah! Equipstuff! Over and above your horses, you start out with: Chainmail and shield; 2 spears, sword, dagger; Fine clothing (worth 1 £.); Personal gear, travel gear, war gear (see “Starting Equipment” in Chapter 8). "Personal Gear, War Gear," et cetera is stuff like your tent and bedroll and what have you. Don't sweat it for now. Your spears also double as lances, by the way; your Lance skill is used when couching your lance and charging on your horse, but if your horse isn't charging or you're dismounted, you use the Spear skill. The actual stick-with-a-pointy-bit is typically the same in both cases, however.


Thanks again DCB. Now my rare heirloom is Heirloom: 1d20 8 AKA sacred relic now I’ll roll in the sub table and Heirloom 2.0: 1d6 6 I got some holy dead guy’s blood. To be specific my family has some blood of Judas Thaddaeus patron saint of desperate cases and lost causes.

Extras:
Born: year 465
Squired: 480
Knighted: 485

With that out of the way… Let’s see what my family has for me (yay)
My roll is Family bonus: 1d20 9
This means I’m light footed and get +10 to dancing and now I have 15
Now let’s get my small private army ready for war:
Old: Old knights: 1d6-5 1
Middle aged: Middle aged knights: 1d6-2 3
Young: Young knights: 1d6+1 6
Vassals: 0
Other: Other fighters: 3d6+5 11
Levy: Levy: 5d20 54


Looks like a nice family of fighters booya!

Derek son of Derrick, son of Yorick, son of Erick

Let’s see how good was good old Erick Erick's glory: (1d20*100)+1000 2300

History
Great-grandfather Erick racked up 2300 Glory -
Grandpa Yorick got 1313. He fought the Irish and learned to hate them. He fought against them at the battle of Carlyion. He then proceeded to have a normal-ish life. He died a year later fighting Pictish raiders
Papa Derrick got 1358 glory in life, he didn’t get to meet his father as he was 1 year old when Yorick died, he married in year 464 and he and his wife quickly got to making a baby. Maybe due to the lack of time he had with his own. Grandma kept the hate for Irishmen alive during Derricks education, he died on the year 476. He had 4 children (Derek sibling: 1d6 3 ) those children are 2 sisters and a brother (Derek siblings genders: 3d6 8)
Derek will start with 1159 Glory

You can see a more detailed rendition of Derek’s family history on my previous post. And this is the burden his family has left him. Few sons and earning a quick grave maybe Derek will be lucky enough to survive a bit longer and have more time to live with his children and a glorious dead in an important battle and not in garrison duty

Quick question.

Let's say that in the next round Bob rolls a 15 and Al rolls a 5 Bob has the highest success but Al's is a critical. Would highest success beat critical? (Aka his best was not enough) or would critical beat high success?

Family Derek's action during the celebration, marchs and everything are due to him wanting to keep his family safe and make them proud
Pious It is not surprising that I've failed my rolls until Derek started quoting the scripture/praying while fighting that has kept him
Humble Derek knows that without the help of his companion nor the leadership of his betters he would not have survived so far
Valorous For the love of god. Those were Berserkers someone less valorous would've turned tail and run away
