Character Creation

See /CharacterCreation for bonus point costs.

Step One: Choose Nature and Breed.

Step Two: Prioritize the three categories: Physical, Social, Mental (5/4/3 for modern, 6/4/3 for ancient). See /Attributes

• Choose Physical Traits: Brawn, Dexterity
• Choose Social Traits: Charisma, Presence.
• Choose Mental Traits: Intelligence, Perception.

• All Dragon Kings add +1 to both Brawn and Dexterity.

Step Three: Choose /Abilities (4/3/2/1).

• Ancient Dragon Kings choose 5 Abilities and add +1 dot to each, as per Trained rules (thus, this will not raise an Ability above four).

Step Four: Note altered /Backgrounds when purchasing.

• Assign 5 dots to Virtues, all begin at 1 dot, none may be higher than 3 without bonus points.
• Choose Paths - 6 for a modern Dragon King, 10 for an ancient.

Step Five:

• Record permanent Essence (2 for a modern Dragon King or 3 for an ancient)
• Willpower is equal to the sum of two highest Virtues.
• Essence Pool is Essence x4 + Willpower x3
• Health levels are (Essence + Brawn + Might) x 3 (unless Small or Large), with alteration from Ox Body.
• Apply /Merits and /Flaws as desired

Dragon Kings begin with 25 bonus points, Ancient Dragon Kings add whatever they gain from the Experienced Background
