I just started a game and I'd like to be able to assign starting BP for my players without them spending XP (it goes up one every 50 years, so I just assigned a starting BP based on character age). Any way to do this without screwing up the sheet for life (ie, making it an NPC) or screwing up the validation?

You're supposed to be able to do it under the Personal tab, with the Permanent Adjustments option. However, that doesn't seem to be listed. You can change pretty much everything else there, but BP is missing...

yeah, i saw that. Very odd. If they patch it (you'd th ink it would have been the first thing on the list) that'll work, but otherwise, I guess I'm going to have to adjust the starting XP retroactively.
Also, is there a way to allow for free stuff, or should I create custom merits for that? I'm not charging for city, covenant, or clan status in my game, I'm just assigning it. |

Another option for creation is to add a permanent adjustment that increases the number of dots the character is allowed. Then the extra free dots can be assigned to status merits. Lastly, you can create your own status merits and assign them no cost. Personally, I think the advancement method is best, since free dots for status merits can be just as easily assigned *after* creation, but you can choose whichever method you prefer. :-) |

thanks. zero XP dots will work just fine for status. And the BP edit will solve my problems there. I've already added a custom contacts merit (I use a bottomless one dot version that works like languages). I think I'm about done making huge house rule edits, heh. now to get started on custom bloodlines.

I am using a few published bloodlines, though at least one is entirely custom (though I will gladly share, because I think it's brilliant and once it's done I'll probably post it somewhere and link it here).
