If you play as a woman, the lord who owns the castle associated with your village granted to you will deny you entry into his castle. In addition, it is more difficult to get a fief as a woman, unless you have a large amount of Renown (700). The base requirement to join a faction is 150 for men, but 200 for women. A similiar change in starting skills applies to a woman of nomad background compared to the male counterpart.Īs a female character, you will need more Renown to do things.
In addition, a woman of noble background will have different starting skills to a man of noble background: women will get Riding, Wound Treatment, and First Aid instead of Power Strike and Tactics.
When you play as a female character, your starting stats will change - you will, relative to a male character, have +1 AGI and +1 INT, but -1 STR and -1 CHA. The following information was gained entirely through secondary sources. Disclaimer: I have never played Mount and Blade.
