Character Creation & Advancement

Character Creation
Base character creation is as per the book, however, we have both general and sect-specific errata. Please check them out before creating a character!

XP Floor: Current floor: 40 XP. - 10/15/2021 (Increases by 1 each 1st and 15th)

XP Cap: 166 XP. - 10/15/2021

Advancement
Experience Points

Accrual: Approved characters accrue 5 XP on the 1st and 15th of each month.

Monthly Caps

This all ignores the starting 30 points of xp from character creation.
 * Once a character has accrued 100 xp, they may only earn 8 xp total starting the month after they hit or surpass 100 points. This is split to 4 XP on the 1st and 4 on the 15th.
 * Once a character has accrued 200 xp, they may only earn 6 xp total starting the month after they hit or surpass 200 points. This is split to 3 XP on the 1st and 3 on the 15th.
 * Once a character has accrued 300 xp, they may only earn 4 xp total starting the month after they hit or surpass 300 points. This is split to 2 XP on the 1st and 2 on the 15th.
 * Once a character has accrued 400 xp, they may only earn 2 xp total starting the month after they hit or surpass 400 points and going forward. This is split to 1 XP on the 1st and 1 on the 15th.

Spending

Record accrued XP on the XP log sheet provided in your character folder, along with expenditures you make - please on different lines. Please update in your ST log when you make a purchase as a signal to the ST. If the expenditure is something that requires a downtime - such as learning a new discipline level, technique, etc. - don't forget to add (DT) to that expenditure line; if you are learning it from someone else, please include their Character Name as well. Most things are fine to purchase up without oversight, but some things (Disciplines that require a teacher, Influences that may be over-represented in the game, the switching around of Merits, etc.) might need ST intervention or approval. Simply letting the ST know each time you purchase something is an easy, quick way for them to see if they need to check in about it. Thank you!
