Items this character can carry: its race's (or any race's), its kind of character, and the ones made for it; an item only some factions get is left out for a legendary lord of another faction and marked “… only” for everyone else. The arcane item slot is for spellcasters (Dwarf characters carry three Character Runes there); followers and banners share two ancillary slots.

Skills and items; like lines are added up, and a skill counts at the highest level taken (each level lists its totals). Army of Renown fills itself in at its ranks.
Source: character_skill_node_sets, character_skill_nodes, character_skill_node_links (REQUIRED and SUBSET_REQUIRED), character_skill_level_details, character_skills_to_level_reached_criterias, character_skill_nodes_skill_locks and character_experience_skill_tiers, patch 9.0.4, via the WH3-Dump export. The general tree only: faction and campaign variants of a tree are not included. A skill after a group of skills (SUBSET_REQUIRED) opens once the skill points character_skill_nodes.required_num_parents asks for are spent in that group, in any mix — the game's “Available after spending N skill points in the previous group”; each REQUIRED skill needs a point.
