Battle Brothers

• When you're hiring people, backgrounds determine their base stats not their aptitudes for increasing stats in the future.

• Stars on a specific stat are improvements to the rolls on level up for that stat, and are unconnected to the backgrounds.

• Part of the cost of a more expensive brother when you hire them is going to be their equipment, so a more expensive brother is not necessarily a better brother beyond that he comes with more expensive gear (though certain backgrounds may end up being better).
