[Last Touches] -

At this stage, the player may spend 15 freebie points to personalize his/her character.

Merits and flaws:
Max 7 points of merits and flaw points.

On Merits and Flaws:
(R) = restricted
(B) = banned

Eerie presence (R)
Touch of Frost (B)
Cant cross running water (R)
Repulsed by crosses or garlic (R)
Beacon of the unholy (R)
Supernatural companion (B)
Special gift(R)
Medium (R)
Sanctity (R)
Nightmares (R)

Sanctity Merit is now HIGHLY restricted.

please also note that in this ammendment, anyone falling below H5 automatically gets the sanctity merit put on hold. It will no longer work until Humanity 7 is retained or a path that is acceptable to have it.

The only acceptabe paths are Honorable accord (which may retain the merit as soo as rating of 4 is reached) or Path of golcoda (which takes effect immediately, but since this path is not in play,, gues you are out of luck here.). So please remember this new rule when using the sanctity merit.

The HST and ST's HAVE FINAL WORD on allowing or disallowing merits and flaws, don’t like that, too bad.

Merits and Flaws are limited to max of 3 points each, higher allowances will be considered with exceptional reasoning and background. Please remember, we limit certain merits and flaws because they tend to be overly used thus takes away from their purpose. Merits or flaws set in a specific sect or clan are only for that sect or clan character types. Merits and Flaws are only from the 3rd edition revised Vampire books. Sect and Clan specific are only for those Sects and clans.

This also means that just because you are blood bound or have diablarized that specific clan is not a reason for you to possess those merits or flaws

Writing your background -

Backgrounds are required for all characters. They should answer some of the basic questions in the book under spark of life. Should you put time and effort into your background, you may be rewarded 1-3xp for writing a good background.

Equipment

If you have weapons [handguns, shotguns] or armor [no higher than AR2], please list out the stats for said items along with page number and book the stats were taken from. No Military equipment allowed at creation unless given and approved by ST for Venue.

On Caitiff's :
you can pick one rare discipline but the ST and HST HAS FINAL WORD
on allowing it or not. It also requires it to be neccissary to your character.

Tremere Creation Rules

The following lists on this topic cover what is allowed and disallowed in regards to Thaumaturgical Paths and Rituals. The Tremere are a VERY diverse clan, with many facets. Some of these facets are extremely rare, unbalancing, or no longer exist in a modern setting. To be fair to players, and offer a reference we at UT have drawn up and supplied this reference.

First off, ALL Tremere starting character will start with Path of Blood as Primary Thaumturgical Path. The Path of Blood is a standard to the clan Tremere, would be taught to younger initiates as their introduction to Thaumaturgy in a normal game setting. It simply makes little sense to teach a neonate the more strange and advanced paths, without first learning the basics.

What is not allowed... the key word here is NOT allowed:

*All Dark Age based Paths and Rituals (This is not a Dark Ages game, you may not have a DA character)
*All supplemental Paths and Rituals described in Blood Sacrifice (Most are extremely rare to begin with)
*All Dark Thaumaturgy period.
*Anything not covered by the allowed list, please feel free to consider NA. There are so many strange unbalanced paths and off shoots, that it is easier to be an "allowed list" than a "not allowed" list.

What Paths ARE allowed*

* Path of Blood 1-5
* Lure of Flames 1-5
* Movement of the Mind 1-5
* Path of Conjuring 1-5
* Elemental Mastery 1-5
* Green Path 1-3
* Neptune's Might 1-3
* Spirit Manipulation 1-5
* Weather Control 1-2
* Thaumaturgical Countermagic 1-2
* The Focused Mind 1-5
* Hearth Path 1-5
* Mastery of the Mortal shell 1-3
* Oneiromancy 1
* Path of Blood's Curse 1-5
* Faux Path 1-5

*Keep in mind, the long learning times for Thaumaturgy. Thaumaturgy is something that will (by the books) take decades to master. In addition, even if you find a mentor for something like "Weather Control", due to its rareness the odds of finding a MASTER Thaumaturgical path is very rare. The 1-5 scale following each path, reflects what reasonable level you could find to be taught to you based on how common the path is. The more rare the path, the more rare a high rating in the path is.*

Note To Remember: When Character is Ghouled he/she receives ..1 potence ...and...1 In Clan Discipline of the dormitor

Ghouls can only discplines up to the level based off of their dormitors generation. We choose not to use the optional rules in Fatal Addiction and use he standard of 1 discipline level until their dormitor is 7th generation or higher
< Standard Disciplines > Please Train and RP out
appropriate time tables. All difficulties for ghouls
should be raised higher - they are not vampires.

Ghouls or Mortals when Embraced gain 3 dots in there Sires Clan < Standard Disciplines > Please Train and RP out appropriate time tables. At the beginning difficulties should be raised higher while learning.

If you create a standard mortal for the game with the intentions of becoming embraced as a set up for another character then your character stands as is at the guidelines for that venue creation and must be RPed out with the appropriate time tables of < Standard Disciplines >

_____________________________________________________________

When creating a character in this venue, you agree to the following requirements on the Dice Roller. When you are sanctioned, you are required to follow them:

Rules for using the Dice Roller

It is required for all players using the DR to use at least their first name (for their character) and put in an action suitable for what they are doing -or- their requirements for the roll.

NOTE:

It is also required to insert any extras that hold a difference in your normal dicepool, such as using willpower, negative dice from damages or splits, negative difficulties from merits or ambush, etc

Guys this is REQUIRED or the roll does not count in the future.
