Making a Character Sheet

Step One: Character Concept

Choose concept, nature and demeanor, breed, auspice, and tribe.

Step Two: Select Attributes

Prioritize the three categories: Physical, Social, Mental (7/5/3 for Garou, 6/4/3 for Kinfolk). Note that each Attribute starts with one dot before you add any.

Step Three: Select Abilities

Prioritize the three categories: Talents, Skills, Knowledges (13/9/5 for Garou, 11/7/4 for Kinfolk). Choose Talents, Skills, Knowledges. No Ability may be higher than 3 at this stage.
*You get one dot of Garou lore, one dot of lore for your tribe, and one dot of lore about the Litany for free.

Step Four: Select Advantages
Choose Backgrounds (5 - Please keep in mind Tribe Restrition), Gifts (three total: one each from breed, auspice, and tribe), and Renown (by auspice).

Step Five: Finishing Touches
Record Rage (by auspice), Gnosis (by breed), Willpower (by tribe, 3 for Kinfolk. No PC may start with more than 6 willpower), and Rank (All new characters start at 1 - Cliath), and any Merits and Flaws.
