omorkaThis one's going to be somewhat difficult, as we are pretty much explicitly told that Shepherd Book has training we don't know about and don't get to find out about. Consequently, I'm incorporating some of the skills we know he has from Serenity (well, at least one) to compensate.
Derrial Book:
ST 11 (10 pts)
DX 12 (40 pts)
IQ 13 (60 pts)
HT 11 (10 pts)
Advantages: Clerical Investment (5 pts; title: Shepherd), Courtesy Rank/Police (4 levels, 4 pts), Religious Rank 1 (5 pts), Will +2 (10 pts), Zeroed (10 pts)
Disadvantages: Code of Honor (Emulate Christ as a Christian, -10 pts), Disciplines of Faith (vows of poverty and chastity, code of distinctive dress and appearance, -5 pts), Pacifism/Cannot Harm Innocents (-10 pts)
Languages: English (Native, 0 pts), Mandarin (Native, 6 pts)
Quirks: Carries a print paper Bible with him everywhere (-1 pt), Works out (-1 pt)
Skills: Acting - 14 (4 pts), Animal Handling/Horses - 13 (2 pts), Anthropology - 12 (2 pts), Computer Operation - 14 (2 pts), Cooking - 14 (4 pts), Criminology - 15 (8 pts), Current Affairs/Headline News - 13 (1 pt), Detect Lies - 13 (4 pts), Diplomacy - 15 (12 pts), Driving/Wheeled Vehicle - 12 (2 pts), Electronics Operations/Communications - 13 (2 pts), First Aid - 13 (1 pt), Gardening - 14 (2 pts), Gunner/Cannon - 14 (4 pts), Gunner/Rockets - 14 (4 pts), Guns/Pistol - 14 (4 pts), Guns/Rifle - 15 (8 pts), Guns/Shotgun - 14 (4 pts), Housekeeping - 13 (1 pt), Intelligence Analysis - 13 (4 pts), Judo - 12 (4 pts), Karate - 14 (8 pts), Law - 14 (8 pts), Leadership - 12 (1 pt), Literature - 12 (1 pt), Meditation - 14 (2 pts), Shortsword - 13 (4 pts), Observation - 13 (2 pts), Psychology - 15 (12 pts), Public Speaking - 13 (2 pts), Religious Ritual/Christian - 12 (2 pts), Research - 14 (4 pts), Riding/Horse-11 (1 pt), Savoir-Faire/Police - 15 (4 pts), Streetwise - 13 (2 pts), Theology - 15 (12 pts)
Total: 277 pts.
Comments: His attributes may be way lowballed. Adding a point of IQ would pointmunch him slightly, but I don't think he's that much smarter than the rest of the crew; a point of DX would not quite, but is still possibly justified. Individual incidents might argue for raising either ST or HT, and it's possible that his habit of lifting weights with Jayne over the "campaign" might result in his raising his ST by a point before the end of the series. Similarly, his skills are a guess at best, as are his languages (he might well have more). The series justifies Cooking; I added Gardening on the grounds that he helped raise the produce he uses as part of his payment onto the ship.
