Record Rank

Most characters start as Rank 1 (Cliath).

• You may choose to start as a Cub (Rank 0) instead, in which case you start with 0 renown and no Gifts. When you reach Rank 1, you will earn these Gifts as a reward for completing your Rite of Passage.

Spend Freebie Points

Include merits and flaws if desired. You may get extra freebies from up to 7 points of flaws, or the sum of your two largest flaws, whichever is greater.
