Something like this:
The goat itself costs 1 STP. You'll probably also want a pack saddle (5 STP) and a bit and bridle (15 SP).

Correct on the saddle, bit and all that. Probably a small saddle bag too i guess so he can store some of the equipment there. Goat's name? lol hmm Excelsior. I guess.

Alright, small saddle bag added, and I moved his entire backpack over to the pack saddle, which drops him down to moderate encumbrance (which as a dwarf, is treated like light encumbrance). Anything else regarding his inventory?

Nothing that I can think of unless I need some sort of feed for a goat don't they pretty much eat anything including grass? So I think he should be all set. Just really a backstory that I always am too simplistic with. Trying to think of what would make him be a cleric, his deity is easy to explain since pretty much all dwarves worship Reorx. Then to top it off why he would go adventuring I suppose.

You also need to choose his weapon proficiencies, nonweapon proficiencies, languages, vital statistics (height/weight/age/birthday), appearance and personality, too.

Well I think I kind of already picked two weapon proficiencies (Battle Axe & Hand Axe) having been purchased. non-weapon proficiencies, languages, vital statistics (height/weight/age/birthday), appearance and personality, too. Given his INT languages shouldn't be too many to worry about obviously native language and likely common. Height 4' 6", I'm thinking slightly leaner dwarf 130 lbs, age 59, hmm birthday Cold-Lode 18th. Appearance:  Hmm speaking of which I should have said to buy a small shield. |

He gets three weapon proficiencies at his level, and six nonweapon ones. Plus a bonus one from his INT.
Okay, he's pretty young. He would have been basically a teenager during the war, when the gods came back. I'm sure that will probably play a big role in his history.
I added a small shield to his inventory.

Well if it helps we can bump his age up another 10 years if that helps Daos. 3rd weapon lets go with War Hammer. Honestly NWP not sure so far I don't think in anything have we even used them for anything.
Religion
Spellcraft
Local History
Are 3 that come to mind.

Really, it depends on what kind of history you want him to have. How old did you want him to be when the war started? What role did it play in his life and his becoming a priest of Reorx? A big theme of this game is the after-effects of the war, and people trying to rebuild their lives. Speaking of which, you probably want to take at least one crafting proficiency, since he is a priest of Reorx, the god of crafting. There's a full list of NWPs here, if you need some ideas. |

well it does not look like most smiting NWPs are even allowed outside of warrior class. So Blacksmithing. Alright let me fix my NWP list going to have to change some since my weak stats are INT and CHA.
Blacksmithing
Healing
Religion
Local History
Drinking
Fire-building
as for how old during the war not very old probably a "young lad" as dwarves would be considered probably no older than a "dwarven teenager". Since I looked it up and they don't consider a dwarf a "grown up" unit about age 50. I would guess a teenager for them would be in the 20's age wise?

Keep in mind that, since he is a specialty priest of Reorx, his NWP crossover includes the warrior group.
If he's 59 now, then he was 50 when the war started. According to the PHB, that's around the equivalent of a 16 year old human. I believe the minimum age a dwarf can be to become an adventurer is 45. So really it boils down to when he became a priest. It doesn't have to happen during the war, it could be more recently. The war is just the earliest it could happen.
So either:
A.) He became a priest during the war. If that's the case, then 45 is the youngest he could have been at the time, and so he'd be 55 now.
B.) He became a priest after the war. If that's the case, it doesn't really matter how old he was when the war happened. However, he is level 7, so unless he rapidly leveled up, he probably didn't become a priest too recently. Like, if you want to establish he became a priest 6 months ago, for instance, it's hard to believe he could level up that fast in such a short amount of time. You might want to give yourself at least a few years to jump from 1st to 7th level.

Alright since that includes warrior NWP I am happy to change blacksmithing to Armorer. As for the Age bit if he was an adventurer at age 45 being 59 would have given him more time to actually get to level 7 where as if he was 55 then and became a priest at 45 less time to get to his currently level. So no matter how I spin it he couldn't have started out as a priest is what it sounds like. So even if I said he is 65 or 68 he to make sense of his level it doesn't match up with timing of the war and being a priest is that what I am understanding or am I misinterpreting what you are saying?

I'm not sure I understand all of that...
Regardless of his age, the absolute earliest he could have become a priest was in the war, about 9 years ago. So if he's 59 now (360 AC), and he became level 1 at age 45 (346 AC), that causes a bit of a lore problem, because there were no true priests of Reorx until 351-352 AC at the earliest.

Ok now I understand maybe he was not a "true priest" at the time but if he needs to be age 55 for the lore side of this to make sense then so be it. The age can be lowered to 55 if that works out better and fits with the lore. It just makes him younger at the time of the war.

Okay. I mean, it's your character; he can be whatever age you want him to be. We can always try and find some justification for it if we need to.
Moving back a bit, he has Armorer proficiency, and he wears masterwork chain mail. So I would surmise he maybe forged that armor himself? Something I forgot to mention about priests of Reorx is that they are required to craft an item that 'exhibits the finest workmanship possible' and that seems to fit the bill. Perhaps he even intends to enchant it some day, when he's high enough level to do that.
