We've had some confusion about Merit costs recently, mainly because of indistinct wording and a difference between MET rules and Standard (table top) rules.
We use the Standard (table top) rules.
If a Merit is multiple dots, such as Striking Looks 4, each dot must be purchased sequentially for the final cost.
So, Striking Looks 4 would cost 2+4+6+8 = 20 XP
Upgrading Striking Looks 2 to Striking Looks 4 would cost 6+8=14 XP
The relevant text can be found here:
World of Darkness, p.108 wrote: | Merit dots must be purchased sequentially with experience points. You have
to buy * and then ** before your character can have *** or more. |
Please note that some Merits have purchase restrictions after the character has begun play:
Resources Restriction _________________ Dog: Protean 1
Asa: Protean 1, Striking Looks 2 (handsome), Presence 4 ((-1 Vitae)) Resilience
Nightfall: Polychromatic Fairest, Striking Looks 2 (Intense Eyes) -2 Glamour -1 WP
Zero: TrAur$, Untouch$
West: SupAug$*, Misdir$ + MenS$, 3rd Eye$ + MTM$ (PerInv, Acc, PsySwX3)(4.0)
