Before creating a new character, or if this is your first character, get the Storyteller's
approval for your concept before you go any farther.
After the Storyteller has given you approval, you can use these rules a guideline
when building your new character, but you will need a copy of Laws of the Night
as well. These are simply a reminder of how many points you get and where you can
use them.

7 points to spend in Conscience, Self-Control, and, Courage. Each additional traits
costs 2 freebee points. Your Humanity is the sum of your Conscience and Self-Control,
rounded up. Each additional trait costs 3 freebee points.
Attributes:
15 points to spend in the Physical, Social, and Mental categories. 7 points in your
primary category, 5 points in your secondary category, and 3 points in your tertiary
category. See Laws of the Night for the actual traits you can choose from.
Each additional trait costs 1 freebee point.
Abilities:
5 points to spend, see Laws of the Night for the abilities you can choose
from. Each additional trait costs 1 freebee point.
Disciplines:
3 points to spend, see Laws of the Night for which disciplines you can choose
from, and their specific powers. Each additional basic level power costs 3 freebee
points for in-clan and 4 freebee points for out-of-clan,, each additional intermediate
discipline costs 6 freebee points for in-clan and 7 freebee points for out-of -clan,
each additional advanced discipline costs 9 freebee points for in-clan and 10 freebee

you must first master the one before it, and no starting characters can have a discipline
above level three unless the Storyteller gives it to you.

from. Each additional trait costs 1 freebee point.

Also, if your previous character had unspent experience points (XP), divide that
number in half and round down and add that number to your freebee points to spend.

freebee points to spend during character creation.
