I've been away from Brytenwalda for a rather long time, and just got the itch again recently. Unfortunately, I'm someone who likes transparency in game mechanics, particularly in character creation mechanics. Fortunately, many a moon ago I found all of the information regarding the bonuses afforded to the different character creation choices in Brytenwalda, and even made a large Excel spreadsheet to catalogue them all in an easy-to-digest format. Extra-unfortunately, I can't find that spreadsheet anymore, and probably deleted it.
So now, here I am, back at it. Only this time I can't even find the game file that contains the character creation info. Can anybody with this information please help a poor fellow out and point me to the proper game file?
Edit: Managed to track it all down after all! Forgot about the pesky Module System download that needed to happen. So naturally I recreated my old spreadsheet, then rearranged it to make it more forum-friendly, and then...

The only thing I didn't bother with is equipment, because honestly that just seemed like a lot of work.
However, it's worth noting the following:
[list type=decimal]
[*]Books — Characters who choose the adult vocations of Bard or Itinerant Preacher begin with a single (random) book.
[*]Horses — Characters who choose the adult vocation of Lesser Lord (regardless of gender) begin with a low-quality horse.
[/list]
Hopefully folks out there find this helpful/informative. If anyone has any particular questions, I might be able to dig up that information. And if anyone catches any errors, please let me know and I'll update it.
Parting Note: This is for stock Brytenwalda. I know that the TML submod made some minor changes to the motivation and religious results, which are not reflected above. TML may have made other changes, but since I don't have the TML version of module_scripts.py, I can't go through in detail and examine everything.
Edit 2: I've examined the TML changelog and, assuming that all character creation changes are called out in the changelog, I've revised the spreadsheet to include those changes.
