XerExaltedLite/Mortals
Mortals
In one way or another, this is what everyone is fighting for. Or over.
Heroic Mortals
Step One: Choose Name, Concept, and Nature.
Step Two: Assign 180 experience points to your XerExaltedLite/Mortals/Attributes - or choose four scores at 3, and two at 2 (3/3/3/3/2/2). Scores begin at 0, but must normally be raised to a minimum of 1. See XerExaltedLite/Mortals/Attributes
Step Three: Choose XerExaltedLite/Mortals/Abilities (4/4/3/2/1/1/1/0/0/0), or divide 160 xp between them. Abilities begin at 0.
Step Four: Note XerExaltedLite/Mortals/Backgrounds
- Choose Virtues (3/2/2/2) or assign 45 xp between them.
Step Five:
- Record permanent Essence (1) - 5 xp
- Willpower begins at 5 - 30 xp
- Health levels are (Essence + Brawn + Might) x 3 (unless Small or Large).
- Apply XerExaltedLite/Mortals/Merits and XerExaltedLite/Mortals/Flaws as desired.
Apply Experience Points - 30, plus those gained from Training, Knowledge or Experience. See XerExaltedLite/Mortals/Advancement for costs. No Trait may be raised above 5 without Legendary (or 10 for Willpower). Essence may not be raised above 3, and requires XerExaltedLite/Mortals/Merits to raise it at all.
- Young characters begin with less experience. By age:
- 13: 0 xp
- 14: 15 xp
- 16: 30 xp
Xp not allocated when designing a character is not lost, but added to the free experience spendable at the end.
