Note Caste Abilities.

Select Favored Abilities.

Buy 28 dots of abilities. At least 10 must be from Caste or Favored Abilities; at least 1 must be in each Favored Ability; none may be higher than 3 without spending bonus xp (meaning at least 28 dots have to be below rating 3).

• 5 dots: 19xp

Buy 7 dots of backgrounds. None may be higher than 3 without spending bonus xp.

Buy 5 dots of virtues. None may be higher than 4 without spending bonus xp. Virtues start at 1.

Buy willpower up to at least the sum of your 2 highest virtues. Willpower starts at 5 (so you don't pay for the first 5 dots).

Buy 10 charms. At least 5 must be from favored or caste abilities.
