Backgrounds Note:

• Fetishes taken in Chargen must be in a book somewhere --- you can't make your own. Create a +note for your fetish, including a page reference for the book that it is from.

• Rites (background) can only be taken in Chargen. Must also have Rituals (the Primary Knowledge) at the same level as the highest Rite. You can choose rites that equal the sum of the level of the Rites (background). For Example: Rites (background) at level 4, you can choose a Level 1 Rite and a Level 3 Rite. You must also set your Rituals at 3. Or you can choose to take 4 Rites that are all Level 1, and only need Rituals at 1.

Note: See XP Chart for details on ways to learn Rites both for XP and without XP cost once approved.
