Character creation will work by a point system. All characters start off with the same amount of 'experience'/points. These points are then used to purchase character attributes, define abilities, flesh out merits and flaws, and even purchase race or racial traits. In this way all players will start out on equal footing, even if playing a race that might be slightly more powerful, but without being crippled by 'level adjustment' or experience penalties.

Some merits and flaws that are being considered will be posted in separate threads, but point values will only be determined once the point-buy system has been set-up more fully.

Once the system has been more fully fleshed out, this post will contain the basics of how to create a character with this system. Check back for updates as things progress!
