XP Based Character Creation

''Note: This is based on the new character creation rules listed in The Dawn Appendix. Certain values are substantially higher than they would be without these rules, because the new character creation rules are actually more way more unbalanced in the XP-to-BP ratios than the original rules. However, I chose to use these rules because they result in more powerful, less focused Exalts. You could base the conversion on the original rules, but then you'd probably want to give out more XP in the bonus section and the end result would look vaguely similar.''

Attributes
(Attribute cost is 4/8/12/16, remember that each attribute starts at 1)

Primary: 80xp

Secondary: 52xp

Tertiary: 40xp

Abilities
(Ability cost is 3xp for first dot, then 2/4/6/8. Minus one from each in the second list of numbers if the ability is favored).

122xp, at least 32xp of which must be spent on Caste or Favored abilities; minimum of 1 in each Favored ability. This includes specialties.

Charms
(Charms cost 8xp for favored charms and 10xp for unfavored charms. Excellencies and Ox-Bodies cost halved.)

100xp

Virtues
(Virtue cost is 3xp * current dot rating, each virtue starts at 1)

27xp

Backgrounds
Gain 7 points as normal. Note also that Infernals gain Backing 1 (Patron Yozi), Influence 1 (Patron Yozi's Demons) and Cult 1 for free.

Bonus Points
Willpower starts at 5. 175xp

Suggested Uses (Storyteller option)

 * Not that this entire page isn't storyteller option, mind you...
 * May want to limit starting Essence to 3, especially since it's the power-stat for Infernals.
 * Excess XP in any given category probably shouldn't flow over to Bonus Points, because that'd be kinda OP. Instead it flows down some sort of chain which I haven't determined. I would suggest Charms -> Attributes (Primary -> Secondary -> Tertiary) -> Virtues -> Abilities.


 * You are encouraged to instead keep the XP in the section it was alotted to and use Bonus XP to fill in what was missing from the category that made it impossible to spend XP in that category before. Would suggest this be used in addition to or in complete replacement of the above XP-chain rule.


 * This entire page is kind of complicated and I will be printing it and bringing it to the sessions when we make characters so everyone can walk through it.
