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.
  • "Refund" means that you lose a stat, and gain the same amount of XP that you would have spent to raise that stat from 0 to its previous level (regardless of whether you actually got it via baseline points or freebies or XP or a mix thereof).
  • Backgrounds and merits that would become relevant can be bought with staff approval (merits: 3 XP per dot).
  • Backgrounds and merits that would become irrelevant are refunded.
  • Flaws that would become irrelevant must be bought off (2 XP per dot).
  • Flaws may be gained with staff approval.
  • Banality and/or Faith should be updated if appropriate, either immediately or over time (does not cost XP).
  • Free Lore from '+rules lores' does not apply to your new race, you must buy it up with XP (does not require additional IC justification).
  • Old incompatible powers (if any) are refunded. New powers must be bought up from 0 with XP. Ignore normal chargen baselines; all old powers are refunded, and all new powers must be bought.

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.)
