[5 / 2 / 1]
Galtia, your homeland, is famed for its knights and paladins, heroes all. The division between peasant and noble is a strict one, but through sufficient valor at arms, even the lowliest beggar can earn a knighthood, however unlikely it may be. The military doctrine of your people largely focuses on lines of men at arms with shields and spears, given ranged support by peasant archers, and horseback knight charges into the enemy rear. You are a leader of men, defending your nation's borders during their current war against:
>1: fiend-serving cultists that rampaged through the neighbouring kingdom of Sanidia, summoning demons and undead.
>2: the nearby kingdom of Zulzaria waged war against orcs for many years, the orcs have chosen to seek easier prey: Galtia.
>3: Regelia, a country your equal in strength, skill and honor, their tactics mirror yours, and your people have fought theirs many times before.
And what is your station? You are a knight, but what tier of society did you originate in?
>By default you start at level 3, 1000 experience, a 5E fighter. All ability scores at 14, with Human Determination and four proficiencies of your choosing.

>1: Hardmode, a lowly beggar turned soldier, nobles look on you with contempt and could rip your command away with little effort if given the excuse. (Optional: start as a rogue instead of a fighter)
>2: Lowborn, you had to fight and claw your way to the top, but your combat success was so obvious that your being knighted was equally an obvious outcome. (Start with two extra levels, 7000 experience, class/es of your choice, gain an ASI at level 4 regardless of class)
>3: Knight, you were born into a military family, trained hard, and were knighted on the field of battle. (Start with one extra level, 4000 experience, class of your choice, and one extra feat. Gain an ASI regardless of class)
>4: Royalty, you're a young lord, baron or prince, raised in duty and wealth with the finest tutors and sparring partners, to rule and lead. (Start with two extra feats, and the benefits of high birth. Start with an equally skilled companion of your level with an equal number of feats, be it a wife, friend, court mage, sparring partner or all of the above.)
And how old are you?
>1: Fifteen, bright eyed and bushy tailed, but new to the world of adult responsibility. Gain three out of Savage Attacker, Athlete, Mobile and Lucky for free. Can't start with a wife if Royal, can have a betrothed. You are 5'4. We book Robb Stark now.
>2: Twenty, young and fresh, but inexperienced. Gain 1000 experience, and two out of Inspiring Leader, Lucky and Mobile. Gain 1 companion of equal level in a class of your choice.
>3: Thirty, in your prime, youthful and well prepared, the start of your prime. Gain 3000 extra experience, and gain Inspiring Leader or Tough, as well as Alert or Observant. Gain 2 companions of matching level, but no higher than level 5.
