- How to Set Up For Shifting
Additional Notes:
Each applicant should have a basic understanding of the race they are applying for. We prefer them to have the book for what they wish to play, but basic knowledge is all thats really needed. We do run the game and scenes with the assumption every player has the core theme and concepts down, so if you don't know it, you may feel overwhelmed or confused. If you are new to Shifter, take some time and skim through the core book before applying for a character. The game of Werewolf is focused on Theme, so it is handy to know what you are apping for.
Things that will require justification:
- More than one Attribute/ability above 3, Attributes at 1
- Keep in mind that even Shifters must follow the rules in +News Stats, limiting starting stats in some areas.
- Resources 4+ might be hard to get, specially without a network of Kinfolk.
- Animal Born Concepts may only be approved by Mardian, before application is submitted (currently limited only to lupus Glass Walkers and Bone Gnawers)
Disallowed at character gen:
- Fetish higher than 3, or more than 1 fetish
- Numen due to overabundance in approved playerbase
- Gnosis higher than 5 for a starting homid, 6 for a metis, 7 for a lupus. If apping the max, it will require strong justification.
- Merits with a total of more than 7 points
- Flaws with a total of more than 7 points
Things banned by +news stats:
- No natural 5's in any skill, attribute, power or backgound
- No character will be approved with more than 10 points in combined combat skills. These include: Firearms, Dodge, Melee and Brawl.
- No willpower higher than 8 (and even 8 needs a good reason)
Backgrounds, Stats, Skills not in Use:
- No character will be allowed to come in with the background Touched. Wyld/Wyrm/Weaver Touched can only be earned in game at the discretion of Shifter Staff.
- The background Numen is currently banned.
