You can never raise a lore higher than your primary lore, which is determined by your apocalyptic form. (DtF 170) Raising another lore equal to your primary lore is OK.

Self serve only works for the first dot of any lore. Beyond that you must put in an +xpreq.

Active (not prospective) thralls can raise Faith Potential (up to a maximum of 5) for the same XP cost as Faith.

Dhampyr

Trait XP Cost Page Number

Trait XP Cost Page Number
Conviction New Rating x 5 HPG 86
Primary virtue New Rating x 3
Other virtue New Rating x 5
New/increase creed edge New Level x 5
New/increase non-creed edge New Level x 7
  • This replaces trading extra Conviction for virtues.
  • Raising edges does not require raising virtues first (that cap only applies during chargen). Level 5 edges are allowed, subject to the prerequisites from HPG 91.
  • Gaining your first creed edge at a new level is limited on the '+rules minimum time' scale. (Example, if you're approved as a Judge with Judgment 2, then three months later, you can raise either Judgment or Creed Judgment to 3.)
  • Non-creed edges can't be raised higher than your highest creed edge.

Mage

Trait XP Cost Page Number
Arete Current Rating x 8 MtA pg 131
House Rule: based on current instead of new
Raise Specialty Sphere Current Rating x 7
New Sphere 10
Raise Other Existing Sphere Current Rating x 8

House rule: Arete also requires minimum time for raising above 3 ('+rules minimum time') in lieu of staff-adjudicated Seekings. Grimoires can speed this up.

Technocratic specialty spheres:

  • Iteration X - Forces
  • New World Order - Mind
  • Progenitors - Life
  • Syndicate - Entropy
  • Void Engineers - Dimensional Science

MtA pg 90: Many Orphans, especially Hollow Ones, have no specialty sphere (but some do)

Mortal+

Ritual level of ritual x 3 House Rule

Ghoul/Revenant

Trait XP Cost Reference
New Discipline

Use the first rule that applies.

  • Common or in clan:
    • Subrace Ghoul: 15
    • Other subrace with Ghoul merit: 20
  • Proprietary:
    • No teacher: 30
    • Subrace Ghoul: 15
    • Other subrace with Ghoul merit: 20
  • Restricted:
    • No teacher: Not allowed
    • Subrace Ghoul: 15
    • Other subrace with Ghoul merit: 20
 House Rule
Raise Existing Discipline (Subrace Ghoul)
  • In clan: Current Rating x 7
  • Out of clan: Current Rating x 10
 House Rule
Raise Existing Discipline (other subrace with Ghoul merit)
  • In-clan: Current Rating x 15
  • Out-of-clan: Current Rating x 25
 Fatal Addiction - pg 85
  • For this purpose, only a PC vampire counts as a teacher.
  • Raising a discipline above 1 requires "Domitor (background)", see '+rules domitor' for details. This does not exactly match canon concept or game mechanics, it's intentionally house-ruled to put ghouls with PC/NPC domitors and revenants all on an equal footing.
  • Ghouls may learn blood magic, but get no Subrace discounts and are otherwise limited per '+rules ghouls', '+rules buying disciplines', and '+rules multiclass' as usual. (Secondary paths cost the same as primary path, per Fatal Addiction pg 85.)
  • Revenants, see '+rules revenants'.

Kinfolk

Trait XP Cost Reference
Gift (Subrace Kinfolk)
  • Kinfolk-specific: 3
  • Level 1 homid, in-tribe, or general (for Fera): 7
  • Other level 1: 10
  • Gifts requiring Gnosis: Must have the Gnosis merit
  • Gifts requiring Rage: Not available
 House Rule

'Homid' and 'general' are in context of the breed you're kin to. If they can only get the gift by swiping, then it costs you 10 XP.

  • Gifts that are Camp Exclusive are not eligible for Kinfolk.
  • Gifts that require stats Kinfolk cannot purchase (i.e. Primal-Urge) are not eligible for Kinfolk.

All Gifts will be approved at staff discretion only

Kinain

Same as Changeling

Mummy

Trait XP Cost Page Number

Trait XP Cost Page Number
Gift level of gift x 3 WtA pg 181
Gift from other Breed/Auspice/Tribe level of gift x 5
Rage current rating
Gnosis current rating x 2
Rites level of rite x 3 or weeks of study House rule / WtA pg 155
  • Minor Rites cost half of a level one. Can get 2 for 1 (3xp for 2 rites).


Rage: This is capped at 8. Raising Rage above 8 requires a +request and is approved only at staff discretion. It is not recommended for lower ranking Garou to have Rage above 6, as they are more prone to frenzy.


Learning rites with time instead of XP:

  • Requires another PC who knows the rite to act as the 'elder'
    • This PC can earn renown for teaching
    • Learning from a NPC elder is ICly possible, but requires XP instead of time
  • Student rolls Intelligence + Rituals vs (10 - Intelligence) once per N weeks (N = rite level) (once per 3 days for a minor rite), must accumulate N+ successes
    • Fail: Spend a Willpower to continue (counts toward monthly limit on spending Willpower on jobs)
    • Botch: Wait three months (or less with relevant RP at staff discretion) and start over
    • Not enough successes: If you do not roll enough successes, then you will spend Y weeks (Y = # of successes short from N) EXTRA to learn the rite (Example: Level 4 rite, rolled 3 successes, so it will take 5 weeks to learn)
  • Student may only study one rite at a time this way, but may pause one to work on another

Note: You cannot learn from a PC that has been idle for 1 month or more.

All requests made must be confirmed to staff by the PC that is teaching it. Requests for confirmation must be replied to within 2 weeks, or it will be denied. It can be resubmitted later.

Cubs may learn rites as long as they have enough Rituals knowledge.

Gurahl: Gifts from a previous auspice count as in-auspice. This includes Rip Van Winkle, but not auspices skipped via Early Maturation.

  • Other forms of blood magic use the same costs: currently Necromancy, Dur-An-Ki, Koldunic Sorcery, Ahku, Abyss Mysticism.
  • For this purpose, only a PC vampire counts as a teacher. Use +request to claim the discount. Drinking the teacher's blood is not required (that rule is only in MET and V20).
  • Generation: See House_Rules/Vampire#Generation. This takes precedence over the usual XP cost for backgrounds.
  • Laibon: Orun and Aye are capped per Ebony Kingdom page 86.

Kuei-jin

Anything not listed here is the same as western vampires. FYI, did you know what's precisely what "the exception which proves the rule" means? You do now.

    • Hun and P'o are opposites
    • Discount only applies when raising the higher one and making yourself more imbalanced
    • If you become Yin or Yang imbalanced, then you need to gain a derangement (KotE 139)
    • If you become no longer imbalanced, then this derangement goes away
    • Opposing pair can't total more than 10 (would require Dharma 6+) (KotE 54)

Kinesis (The Great War 121) is an alternate form of Inhabit.
