Character Creation

Experience Tiers

1) BEGINNING: 0-60 experience or less

All players are required to start with a Neonate character. All characters must be submitted to the venue ST before Character posting may begin.

No more then 35% of experiance you spend may be spent on Disciplines and Blood potency. (i.e. if you only spend 45 xp on your character only 15 of that may be in Disc. & BP, This same break down applies to the other tiers when they become availiable to you as well.)

(MAINSTREAM IS LOCKED UNTIL THE PLAYER HAS PROOVED THEY CAN PLAY A BEGINNING FOR A TIME PERIOD OF THE VAMPIRE STAFFS CHOOSING)

2) Mainstream: 61-160 experience or less

A mainstream character is older and more experienced then an instant play. This type of character may have lived in the city for a long time or may have an extensive background in another city. A Player may have two Mainstream Vampires.

Mainstream characters may have restricted items, but they also require a background and ST approval.

No more then 40% of your XP may be spent on Disciplines and Bloodpotency. The book does state your BP goes up the longer your alive and the more times you happen to diablerize somebody that is of higher potency then you. THIS DOES NOT HOWEVER make it that you do not need to spend xp to reflect this.

(ELDER IS LOCKED UNTIL THE PLAYER HAS PROOVED THEY CAN PLAY A MAINSTREAM FOR A TIME PERIOD OF THE VAMPIRE STAFFS CHOOSING)

3) Elder: 161-300 xp or less

An Elder character is usually one that has established herself in the city or has just been around for a few centuries. Each player may have only one Elder Vampire.

This type of character may have items from the Restricted list but the character must have an extensive background. We are not demanding an explanation of every single dot on your character sheet, but we do wish that you give it your all.

No more then 45% of your XP may be spent on Disciplines and Bloodpotency. The book does state your BP goes up the longer your alive and the more times you happen to diablerize somebody that is of higher potency then you. THIS DOES NOT HOWEVER make it that you do not need to spend xp to reflect this.

Elder characters do require ST approval.
