Warrior Management

Selecting any of your hired warriors in the Warband Management screen, brings you to the Warrior Management screen. Here you can manage individual warriors' stat upgrades, weapons and armour and train and upgrade spells and skills.

This section is arranged into 5 tabs:
 * Description: This tab shows you a warrior's history, equipment proficiencies and injuries.
 * Inventory: This tab allows you change and enchant this warrior's equipment.
 * Skills: This tab allows you to train new and upgrade existing Active and Passive skills.
 * Spells: This tab allows you to train new and upgrade existing spells.
 * Customisation: This tab allows you to change the look of this warrior.

You can cycle through the tabs by pressing Left Shoulder and Right Shoulder (for Gamepads), the Q and E keys or by selecting the required tab from the icons at the top of the screen. This warrior's Statistics are displayed on the left for all except the Customisation tab. If the warrior has statistic upgrades available, the number of available points to spend will be shown next to the attribute categories (physical, mental and martial) and can be applied by selecting the statistic you wish to upgrade. The section containing the warrior's name, rank and Offense and Strategy Points is visible on all tabs.



Description tab
The first tab that opens when viewing a warrior is the Description tab.

On the right you can see the backstory for this particular type of warrior. Below this is the total number of active warriors of this type allowed. Warbands can only have a single Leader, 2 of each Hero and 5 of each Henchman active at any time. The warrior's Equipment Proficiencies - the weapons and armour the warrior is allowed to use - are shown at the bottom of this panel.

Beneath the Description panel you can see what Perks this warrior has, if any. Perks are features that this type of warrior possesses which include the ability to cast spells, being unable to Flee or Disengage or an innate Magic Resistance.

You can also also look at the injuries that this warrior has suffered, or see a breakdown of when significant events occurred for this warrior, such as gaining ranks or learning new skills by clicking on the Injuries or History panel on the right.



Inventory tab
The next tab to the right is the Inventory tab.

This tab shows you the warrior and all of their weapon and armour slots. Different warriors, who may or may not equip to certain slots will have more or less slots visible. Slots with a '+' icon are currently empty but can be filled with an appropriate item. Slots that are show with crossed circle are inactive slots that cannot be used, either because the warrior lacks the ability to equip anything in this slot or because their current equipment prevents the use of the slot (for example, two-handed weapons prevent the use of the 'off-hand' slot).

Highlighting a slot with an item already present will show the details of that item underneath the warrior. Selecting a slot, whether empty or not, will give you the option to replace the item in this slot. Items that are available for this slot will be shown down the left hand side. The Inventory panel shows available items that your warband already owns, while the Store panel shows available items that may be purchased. To narrow down the displayed items you can use the Y button (for Gamepads) or click on the icons at the top of the Inventory and Store panels (for example, instead of showing all available weapons you can choose to see only available ranged firearms).

If you have selected a slot with an item already in in, you will see a side by side comparison with the original item on the left and the item you are looking at from the Inventory or Store on the right, underneath the warrior.

If you have any Fine or Masterwork quality items, you can select them and select the Enchanting panel to browse through and purchase available enchantments. Highlighting and enchantment will show details of that enchantment underneath the warrior. Enchantments cost gold and require an empty enchantment slot in the item you are trying to enchant. You will not start the game with any enchantment recipes - these must be acquired during your battles in Mordheim. Enchantments are permanently applied to the items when they are purchased.



Skills tab
The next tab to the right is the Skills tab.

Skills already trained are shown by their icons in the center of the screen. These are split into Active and Passive skills. Your warrior can learn new skills in any of the slots with a '+' icon but will require a number of 'Skill Points' and gold in order to do so.

Selecting an empty slot allows you to see what skills are available in the Skills panel on the right. These are split into the Primary Statistic categories and will require certain statistics to have reached a certain level before becoming available for purchase. At the far right of the Skills panel are the warband and warrior specific skills which are only available to this warband or, in the case of Hired Swords DLC Heroes, this warrior.

When browsing skills, you can see all the details of the skill underneath the warrior.



Spells tab
The next tab to the right is the Spells tab.

Not all warriors will have access to spells, so this tab will not be available to all warriors. Spellcasters can see what spells they already have, represented by icons in the center of the screen. Your warrior can learn new spells in any of the slots with a '+' icon but will require a number of 'Spell Points' and gold in order to do so. All spells have an Intelligence requirement in order to be learned.

When browsing spells, all details about the spell are displayed underneath the warrior.



Customisation tab
The next tab to the right is the Customisation tab.

This tab allows you change how this warrior looks on the battlefield. On the left of the screen you can change this warrior's name and write a short biography to further personalise this warrior (this bio will only be visible to you).

Different warrior types have different customisation options available to them, for example, male Human Mercenaries can generally choose optional facial hair. You can change the look of any body part shown with an icon by selecting it and selecting the Model panel. However, you cannot change the look of your armour or helmets as this allows other players in Multiplayer to recognise the type of armour this warrior is wearing. Changing the look of body parts does not affect the warrior's defensive abilities in any way.

You can also change the colour of body parts individually by selecting them and selecting the Colour panel, or as a whole by using the Preset button underneath the warrior.

Some warriors have multiple Skins - all over body customisations - that can be chosen by clicking the Skins button underneath the warrior (if it is available).
