Here is a screenshot of my vanilla human fighter, just after the game begins, without any attribute-changing gear. It's true that some of the most rewarding moments in older games, like this one, are when one actually works out how to do something in the game. Could you post a screenshot of the character record page for the affected fighter, so that we can see your alignment, your attributes, etc.? Unequip any attribute-modifying items before grabbing the screenshot, since attribute requirements are judged based on your natural scores, ignoring any equipment-based modifiers. There is probably some rule that you don't satisfy, and the button is locked out accordingly, but it doesn't tell you what rule you failed.

Advowson: In my opinion, the game's UI does a poor job of explaining limitations to you.
