Character Creation
New players may use the standard book rules with no xp. After wards they will get the amount of XP needed to bring them up to the XP creation system.
Attributes
All start at 1 except for one of your clan's favored attributes which starts at 2
Primary gets 65 xp
Secondary gets 55 xp
Tertiary gets 45 xp.
20XP that may be added to any attribute category or split between them.
Abilities
Primary category gets 78 xp
Secondary category gets 48
Tertiary gets 30.
You get 3 specialties for free
Disciplines
You get 30 xp to spend on disciplines.
You must buy 3 dots of disciplines from your starting clan. After that you may buy bloodline disciplines, coils, thebian sorcery, or cruac if its available to you. (so you could get level 1 in all your inclans and level one coil). Any out of clans disciplines you must have someone who knows it who agreed to have taught it to you. (this may be an npc but they will want boons which will come up)
Merits
You get 40 xp to spend on merits or blood potency.
If you are a carthian, legion, or invictus you may buy your merits at half cost if you have bought covenant status.
A limit of 10 levels will be applied to carthian allies and invictus status. More than 10 levels will require explanation of why your character should have it and approval.
You get 35 additional xp that you can add to any category.
Other rules
You do not get xp for dropping humanity. You may drop from 7 to 6 with no penalty. For each level dropped after that you will pull for a bane
You may only start with one stat at 5.
Citizen is a 1 point merit for the setting
You must buy clan, covenant, and city status of 1 if you want to have them an can get them up to 3.
Only things out of the main setting book and vampire book will be approved at character creation. This does limit characters. If you want something outside the main two books you can ask but you will have to owe someone for helping you get it. Do not ask for more than one thing at creation. Lots of people have been pushing this line. I will be enforcing it for any final character that is approved. The only exception is for things that I have already put in the game that your character should have access to.
Invictus lose retainers and get mortal status half cost
Legions lose retainers and get vampiric status half cost and citizen merit for free. (may change still debating)
Special Rule
All characters get the ability to gift 5 xp in return for a major boon to 2 different players on their third game. The person gifted should not refuse without good reason.
