For a start, he'll need the Performance Skill, and he gets two specialisations with it because it's a specialised Skill. `Poetry' is a good start, and perhaps the flute after that, because why not? That costs 5 \gls{xp} so I have 45 left.

Since he's a fighter he needs the Dexterity penalty removed. Removing the penalty costs only 5 \gls{xp}, so with 10 left I'm going to buy a level of Empathy to make him a socialite. Deceit would also be good, but I think a knightly poet would be too naive for that. Finally, a member of the nobility, even a minor noble, should have some basic Academics knowledge, so his last Trait will be the first level of the Academics Skill.}{}
