Character Creation
See XerExaltedLite/DragonKings/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 XerExaltedLite/DragonKings/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 XerExaltedLite/DragonKings/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 XerExaltedLite/DragonKings/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 XerExaltedLite/DragonKings/Merits and XerExaltedLite/DragonKings/Flaws as desired
Dragon Kings begin with 25 bonus points, Ancient Dragon Kings add whatever they gain from the Experienced Background
