- All characters start with our floor XP, which is found on the sheets and is automatically calculated
- Replacement characters use Death XP (see below)
- We do no require the usual 5/4/3 Attribute spread or the 11/7/5 Skill spread. Instead you have 12 points to spend on attribures and 22 on skill as seen fit
- All characters start with 10 Merit dots
- You may ignore the 3 dot skill max before XP spends rules
- In general, Merits from other character types are not allowed. See each entry for any exceptions to this rule
- You may have a total of 6 characters.
- We use a character slot system which gives one slot each from Changeling, Mage, and Vampire.
- These three slots must be filled by a Changeling, a Mage, and/or a Vampire. Half-templates and Minor Templates do not count
- You do not have to fill each of these slots, but they cannot be exchanged
- You can use your remaining slots as you wish
- Eg. John has 6 slots and Makes a Mage and a Vampire. He doesn't have an idea for Changeling so he leaves that slot empty for now. He can now make Mages, Vampires, Ghouls, Fae-Touched, and Mortals to fill his remaining three slots, but he cannot use his Changeling slot to make any of the aforementioned
