======XP Based Character Creation======

Since the original character creation rules allowed for too much difference in effective power in starting characters, a custom character creation scheme has been made. The new rules are based on the normal rules for experience costs when leveling a character, applied to a basic character template.

===== Base Template =====

A character starts with a base template with the following characteristics:

  * Attributes all starting at 1
  * Abilities all starting at  0
  * Virtues all starting at 1
  * Willpower starting at 5

===== Experience Costs =====

Every character starts with a certain amount of experience, varying per setting. Experience costs are calculated like one normally would when raising a character's stats. Experience costs can be based on the default ruleset or on custom experience costs. For one of these custom rulesets, see [[http://campaigns.13w.nl/igani/rules:start#experience|the Igani Campagin custom Experience rules]]

All usual limitations on character creation still apply.
