Bannerlord: Character and skills

The commands that develop your character are here. Leveling skills in Bannerlord takes a long time, and branches such as Trade and Engineering rise especially slowly in normal play. These commands remove that wait entirely. Focus and attribute points also let you raise your skill caps without waiting to level up.

Most codes here need cheats turned on first. See the section on how to open the console.

Character and skills: Common questions

Which skill name do I type in the skill command?
You type the skill name as it appears in the game. If you are not sure, run the command with help added after it, and the console prints the format it expects.
What is the difference between focus points and attribute points?
A focus point goes into a single skill and raises that skill's cap. An attribute point goes into a main attribute such as Intelligence or Control and affects every skill tied to that attribute.
Is changing age safe?
The game will not break, but in Bannerlord character age counts toward death and retirement. If you make your character very old, the campaign may end sooner than you expect.
