Character Creation
Characters have 70 points to spend on character creation.
Assign however many points you like between the four attributes: Psyche, Presence, Prowess, Physicality. There is no attribute auction.
Purchase whatever powers you like that are available to PCs.
Artifacts
Artifacts are magical or technological items that provide some special abilities. A skeleton key that opens any lock would be one example, as would a ring that makes you extra strong.
Most any artifact can be statted up in Lords of Gossamer and Shadow rules. Each will have a point cost based on how powerful it is. If you want an artifact describe it to me and I'll see about working up the point cost for it. If you have the Lords of Gossamer and Shadow rules, feel free to work it up yourself and send me the stats for approval.
Bad Stuff
You can spend more character points than 70 on character creation. The excess you spend becomes Bad Stuff. Essentially bad luck that follows your character around. Bad Stuff can be invoked in a number of ways in the game.
If a sniper is going to take a shot at one of the group at random, it'll probably be the one with the most Bad Stuff. If you're found someplace you shouldn't be, the NPC's initial reaction will be based on your Bad Stuff. If it's high, they might shoot first. If it's low, they might just be suspicious.
You may have at most 10 points of Bad Stuff.
Buying Off Bad Stuff
Bad Stuff can be bought off over time using character points you get from completing adventures. You can only buy off 1 point of Bad Stuff for each character advancement session.
Good Stuff
If you do not spend all your 70 points on character creation then the points you don't spend become Good Stuff. Essentially good luck that follows your character around.
You may have at most 10 points of Good Stuff.
Spending Good Stuff
You may not add to your Good Stuff after character creation. You may spend from Good Stuff at any point outside of character advancement to get new attribute levels, powers, or artifacts. The points spent in this way cannot be replenished.
