This book compiles the additional [[Life Path]]s that were published in the Field Manual series and completes it for the titles that came before the release of the third edition. ''CBT Companion'' also enables players to create characters using a point-based system instead of using random rolls on the life paths, while also giving a peek behind the scenes to provide Gamemasters with guidelines on creating new life paths. Further, it adds new traits and skills to the ever-growing list. A detailed section on creatures gives Gamemasters dozens to use and provides the rules so that they can create their own. Rules for constructing your own [[battle armor]] first appeared here, before being updated in ''[[TechManual]]''. Finally, advice on running the game, helpful tools for GMs, and a simple system for administering landholds are all provided. An appendix with blank record sheets contains a battle armor construction worksheet and an expanded, two-page character sheet. The concept for the cover of this book was decided via a contest, where fans could submit their ideas for what would appear on the cover. The winner of this contest was William Mouat. ==From the back cover== {{quote|''It is the 31st century. Across the vastness of interstellar space, awesome powers vie for supremacy. Amidst this swirl of unending conflict stride [[BattleMech]]s, huge robotic weapons of war piloted by elite [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]]s. Join the action, taking on any one of an endless variety of roles, from spy to smuggler, mercenary to MechWarrior. As a character from the [[Inner Sphere]], the [[Clans]] or the [[Periphery]], you will decide the ultimate fate of the galaxy.'' ''Enter the exciting [[BattleTech]] universe, stepping outside of your BattleMech and embracing the richness of a vast, detailed science fiction setting. [[MechWarrior (RPG)|Classic BattleTech RPG]] contains all the rules and source material players and Gamemasters need, including a unique character creation system that generates game abilities and background story at the same time. Time to let your imaginations soar!''}} ==Contents== {{columns-start|num=3}} * "[[Just Another Day]]" * Introduction ===Character Creation=== :* How to Use the Life Path System :* Life Path Creation
