Want to make sure all six of your characters can join all three guilds in the beginning of the game so you don't waste training points due to insufficient stats? Create all of your warriors so that they qualify for both Samurai and Paladin ascensions right from the start. Priests and wizards should go the slightly more difficult route of qualifying for both Warlock and (Paladin OR Samurai) because those involve the mental stats more than the physical. Minimum total stats are 72 and 74 points respectively, though it will usually take a 78+ with a decent spread to achieve.

If you're worried about all five guilds, warriors can qualify for all five by using barbarian/paladin/samurai, priests and wizards can qualify with warlock/samurai/(bard or ninja).

Keep in mind you can train every stat save fortitude and willpower in the towns, although agility and dexterity are not available until Ishad'Nha. You will still want to place points in intelligence for EVERY character to maximize skill gains (1 gain per level per 4 int rounded down) as well as spirituality for all casters to maximize spell points. You can get an 18 in Presence and a 20 in all other stats through training and donations with the two exceptions noted earlier.

Sorry to keep going, but there's one more. Do Shurugeon Castle ASAP if you want enchantments, and do Serpent Temple ASAP if you want blessings.
