Creating Mortals

  • Step 1: Concept. Think of a compelling character concept, and flesh it out with history, goals, and dreams. Figure out what your character’s life is like, and what led him to take part in your Storyteller’s chronicle. Mortal characters have no Castes.
  • Step 2: Attributes. Select primary, secondary, and tertiary Attribute categories. Assign 6 dots to your character’s primary Attributes, 4 dots to his secondary Attributes, and 3 dots to his tertiary Attributes.
  • Step 3: Abilities. Divide twenty-eight dots among your character’s Abilities. Mortal characters don’t get Caste, Favored, or Supernal Abilities. Abilites may not be higher then 3 without spending bonus points.
  • Step 4: Merits. Spend seven dots on Merits.
  • Step 5: Intimacies. Select your character’s Intimacies. You must start with a minimum of at least four Intimacies, of which at least one must be Defining, one must be Major, one must be in some way negative (a thing the character opposes or dislikes), and one must be positive (a thing the character supports or likes).
  • Step 6: Finishing Touches. Mortal heroes begin play with a default Willpower rating of 3 dots, 7 health levels (-0, -1, -1, -2, -2, 4, Incapacitated), an Essence rating of 1, and no Essence pool.
  • Bonus Points: Spend 21 bonus points, using the same chart as for the Solar Exalted. Bonus points may be reserved for Exaltation if you choose.
