Arthur's Update
I am using the concept of packages for the grogs. Whenever a stat or ability of mentioned in a grog's description, that value over-rides the base value.

  • Base characteristics: Int -1, Per 0, Str +1, Sta +1, Pre -1, Com -1, Dex +1, Qik 0
  • Base abilities for a standard grog: Area Lore: Fengheld 3, Animal Handling 2, Athletics 2, Awareness 3, Bargain 1, Bows 3, Brawl 3, Carouse 3, Chirurgy 1, Great Weapons 3, Language: Low German 5, Profession: Soldier 3, Single Weapon 6, Survival 1
  • Base abilities for a novice grog: Area Lore: Fengheld 1, Athletics 1, Awareness 1, Brawl 2, Carouse 1, Language: Low German 5, Profession: Soldier 1, Single Weapon 4, Survival 1
