Conversion

Here are game mechanics for when a PC changes race and/or subrace due to IC events.

• If you were approved as your "new" race/subrace and just want to RP through your IC change, then go ahead and do so.
• The remainder of these rules are for PCs who were approved as something else.
• This is a work in progress, based on past practice as best we can remember or reconstruct it, and is subject to adjustment.

General principles:

• See relevant cheat sheet for context.
• See '+rules multiclass' for limits on multiple power sets.
• Backgrounds and merits that would become relevant can be bought with staff approval (merits: 3 XP per dot).
• Flaws that would become irrelevant must be bought off (2 XP per dot).
• Banality and/or Faith should be updated if appropriate, either immediately or over time (does not cost XP).

Mortal to supernatural

Mortal to vampire

• Update Race, Sire, Faction, Clan
• Allocate 3 dots to one or more in-clan disciplines
• Can buy Generation background with XP at the usual rate (not the higher rate in '+rules generation')
  • If Embraced by another PC, must buy Generation background as needed so that your Generation Rating is one removed from theirs. (Example: if they're 10th, then you would be 11th, so you must buy two dots.)
