General Rules
- No Minors: We play with adult themes and our Stories are for adults. Please no minor characters -- all characters (and players) should be at least 18. Vampire characters should be 21 or older.
- Standard (Table-top) Rules: We use the table-top books and -not- the LARP (Mind's Eye Theater)[1]. This is especially important during character creation for Merit costs.
- Five Total: A player is limited to a total of five characters, and no more than four in the main venues (the fifth can be in a 'side game'.
- Separate Characters: A player may not have more than one character in the same Family (Clan, Path, etc.) or Organization (Covenant, Order, etc.)
- No Excess Experience: Any XP not spent in character creation does not carry over.
- Supernatural Expenditures Limit: Only 45% of your character creation experience may be used to purchase supernatural advantages. These include Advantage (Blood Potency, Gnosis, Primal Urge, Wyrd, etc), Powers (Disciplines, Arcana, Gifts, Contracts, etc) and template Merits (Sanctum, Haven, Occultation, Arcadian Body, etc).
- Avatars should be checked to see if they are currently used by an active character. Unless explicit permission is given by the player currently using that avatar, we do not "double up".
- Weapons are of interest to those who anticipate using them, but there are practical implications to owning or carrying some things. Please see the Weapons page for more information.
Merits
- Creation Only Merits may only be purchased with your initial seven dots, not with XP.
- Trained Observer[2]: The (•••) version is removed from play. The (•) version remains unchanged.
- Allies & Contacts: Merits which allow information or assistance from supernaturals of other splats (Contacts: Werewolves, Allies: Vampires, etc), require approval from the appropriate ST. The same applies to Skill Specialties.
Starting Characters
Characters may begin play with up to 30 Experience Points (XP). Please be sure to check the specific venue's House Rules for restrictions on how that XP may be spent:
Please Review the Banned Content before submitting your character.
