Personal Milestones

Per the text, Personal Milestones may be spent to "acquire a new Mode or repurchase a Charm. You may also gain, intensify, or change an Intimacy if the story supports it."

However, very few of the published Charms have purchasable modes or repurchases. Due to the way advancement works, this will leave players with a large amount of unused Personal Milestones.

Per developer commentary, this was to allow space for homebrewers to introduce Charm repurchases and Modes which use Personal Milestones. But with so few examples, the amount of homebrew support for using Personal Milestones has been slow.

To that end: Here's a place to capture alternate methods of using Personal Milestones

• Allow Personal Milestones to be spent to raise Abilities, at a cost of (Number of Personal Milestones) x (New Dots) - so, buying the first dot is 1 Milestone, buying the second is 2 Milestones, etc.
• Allow Personal Milestones to be spent to buy Merits that have been acquired in-play, granting them the Sanctity of Merits, at a rate of (Personal Merits) x (Number of Dots).
• Allow Personal Milestones to treat any Charm which can be purchased multiple times and which has been purchased at least once. For example, Ox-Body Technique.
