What the background table covers

These are the 48 unique backgrounds in the game’s general character-selection pool. The pool contains 50 entries because Farmhand and Daytaler each appear twice; the table preserves that weight as “entries in general pool.” It does not mean that two candidates are always available at once.

The starting attribute ranges combine the shared background roll ranges with each background’s script offsets. They describe the background’s initial roll before origin rules, traits, equipment and later changes. Open a row’s details to compare its offsets, attributes that cannot receive talent stars and traits excluded during random recruit generation. A star improves an attribute’s level-up range; it is not a guaranteed increase on every level-up. Starting level, equipment and the town’s offer can also change the practical value and final price of a candidate.

Hiring cost and daily wage are the values written in each background script. They are useful for comparing candidates, but the listed hiring cost is not a promise of the final town offer. Origin-specific, scripted and enemy-only backgrounds are outside this general-pool table.

Background is only one part of a recruit. Review actual attributes, traits, level and equipment before assigning a role. See campaign origins and character progression.
