Step 1: Character Concept
Chose concept, caste, totem, and Nature. Select Totem form (Strength, Cunning, etc.). Note caste's anima powers.

Step 2: Select Attributes
Note that all Attributes start with one dot before you add any.
Prioritize the three categories: Physical, Social and Mental (8/6/4).

Step 3: Select Abilities
Note Caste Abilities, select Favored Abilities (4 others)
Choose Abilities (30 - at least 10 must be from Caste and Favored Abilities, at least 1 must be in each Favored and caste Ability)
No Ability may be higher than 3 without spending Bonus Points.
The vast majority of Lunars will have at least two points in Survival and 1 point in at least one combat Ability (Archery, Brawl, Martial Arts, Melee or Thrown). Those who are members of more civilized Societies may ignore this.

Step 4: Select Advantages
Choose Background (10 - none may be higher than 3 without spending bonus points), Virtues (5 - none may be higher than 3 without spending bonus points), and Charms (10, at least 4 must be from Caste or Favored Attributes).

Step 5: Finishing Touches
Record Essence (2), Willpower (add the total of the two highest Virtues - may not start at higher than 8 unless at least two Virtues are 4 or higher), Personal Essence Pool (Essence + (Willpower x 2)), Peripheral Essence Pool ((Essence x 4) + (Willpower x 2) + (Highest Virtue x 4)), and Health Levels (7, plus any gained from Charms).
