Werewolf: The Forsaken Character Creation Rules Reply with quote
Experience Allowences

1) Pup (Beginner)- 60 xp or less

Pup (Beginner) characters do not require a submitted background nor do they require ST approval. You may not use anything from the Restrictions list when making an instant play character however, and you must stay within the 60 xp allowence. Additionally, your character has been either less than 1 year forsaken, or is not from Sacramento.

All Beginner characters must be submitted to the ST before IC posting may begin.

2) Warrior (Mainstream)- 61-160 experience or less

A Warrior character is older and more experienced then a pup. This type of character likely had a impressive background in another city.
Warrior characters may have restricted items, but they also require a background and ST approval.

3) Scarred One (Elder)- 161-300 xp or less

A scarred one is a fairly old (40) or thoroughly tested werewolf. This type of character had an impressive background in another city before coming to Sacramento. Each player may have one Elder character.
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.
Scarredd ones require ST approval.





All lodges are restricted. Joining a lodge is an important thing, and not to be taken lightly.

Any Pure or bale hound lodge is not for player characters.


Other Restricted Items

-Attributes 4 or higher
-Skills 4 or higher
-Fighting style merits above 3
-Resources above 3
-Contracts and/or Allies above 2
-Retainers above 3
-Any Renown at 3
-Harmony 5 or below
-Primal Urge at or above 3
-Anything taken from the Custom Content page

Things that do not exist:
Rite of Hallow Touchstone


Changes to Harmony: (Replaces current sins)
Level 7- Spending too much time alone, violating a tribal Vow (minor)
Level 4- Using a silver weapon against anothe werewolf, Signifiganty violating a tribal vow.
These changes were made to make Tribes more important, and to remove the sin of revealing the existence to humans. That is a violation of the Oath of the Moon, but is not a sin against Harmony. There are no spiritual repercussions to revealing yourselves to humans, just bad physical and social ones.


Totem Merit:
Points spent in Totem merit are held in reserve until you have joined a pack, where they are added to the Totem's pool.

Restricted books

We are not restricting our players from using any Werewolf: The Forsaken books. We do ask that players use their common sense and good judgement regarding some items in these books. (i. e. The Pure/Blasphemies. Almost all of those gifts and rites are not for Forsaken)

As White Wolf feels the need to scatter their Merits in all of their books, we would request that you please list the book and page number you found the Merit. It would make it easier for us in case it is not a well-known Merit. Or gift.


Wolf-Blooded

Pup Wolf-Blooded must follow the same restrictions as instant play Werewolves listed above.

Currently we do not have a Werewolf character submission form, so please PM your werewolf Character to shouldabeenadog.

Important change from Above Rules

Lodges are restricted. After character creation, any werewolf may join a lodge that he meets the pre-requisites for. To start the process, PM shouldabeenadog, and slowly you will begin to find your character courting the lodge.

Important Change from Rules above

Renown is limited based on xp build:
Additionally, no character may start with a renown of 5.

Pups:
Total renown score of between 2 and 4.

Warriors:
Total renown score of between 3 and 6.

Scarred Ones:
Total renown score of at least 7. You are a scarred one for a reason.

These rules are subject to change with notification if I receive convincing arguments concerning them.

Finally, an experimental system will be put into effect whereby deeds done in play that exemplify a renown held at 3 or 4 will reward the player with "chits". (Honor chit, purity chit, wisdom chit, etc.). These chits allow the purchasing of renowns at 4 and 5 with xp. It takes 1 chit to go from renown 3 to 4, and 3 to go from 4 to 5. If at the end of a month you did not receive a chit and you believe you should have, not only are you free to, but you are encouraged to ask for one. Any reasonable request will be heard, and I'm not trying to be a dick. The reason for this is so you can keep track of your progress instead of asking me "can i rasie it yet" over and over again and to make sure I am fair with handing it out.
Any and all complaints are to be sent to shouldabeenadog.

Excess Experience

There is no excess experience. If you create a character using any of the experience tiers and you do not use all of the available experience, that XP does NOT carry over. Once the character is approved and the player begins posting for that character, then any experience that was not used during character creation is gone.

It cannot be carried over and used later on to add to any experience given for the month.

So, please make sure you have useed the amount of experience you are either alloted or you wish to have on your character before it is submitted.
