Larp:Character Creation Guide

Vampire

Inspiration

• Decide your character’s concept.
• Choose an Archetype.

The Basics

• Record initial XP. Your character begins with 100 initial XP. You may spend this XP during the character creation process.
• Choose a clan. (Make sure you have enough Graduations to play that clan.
  • If you want your character to be a member of a bloodline, you must use some of your initial XP to purchase a bloodline merit.

Attributes: 7/5/3

• Rank the character’s attributes as primary, secondary, and tertiary.
  • Assign 7 dots to the character’s primary attribute.
  • Assign 5 to the character’s secondary attribute.
  • Assign 3 to the character’s tertiary attribute.
• Select one focus for each attribute type (Physical, Social, and Mental).
  • Physical focuses: Strength, Dexterity, or Stamina.
  • Social focuses: Charisma, Manipulation, or Appearance.
  • Mental focuses: Perception, Intelligence, or Wits.

Skills: 4/3/3/2/2/2/1/1/1/1

• Choose one skill and fill in the first 4 dots of that skill.
• Choose two skills and fill in the first 3 dots of those skills.
• Choose three skills and fill in the first 2 dots of those skills.
• Choose four skills and fill in the first dot of those skills

Backgrounds: 3/2/1

• Assign 3 dots to a single background of your choice.
• Assign 2 dots to a second background.
• Assign 1 dot to a third background. If you have not already assigned dots to the Generation background, you should assign this point to Generation. If you don’t have a dot of the Generation background, your character begins play as a ghoul or mortal.

Disciplines: 2/1/1

• Assign 2 dots to a single in-clan discipline.
• Assign 1 dot in each of your character’s remaining two in-clan disciplines.

Merits and Flaws

• You may spend some of your initial XP to purchase up to 7 points of merits. This limit of 7 merit points includes any merits purchased earlier in the creation process (including bloodline merits). Your character can never have more than 7 points of merits across all categories, plus 1 for each Graduation you have.
• Choose your character’s flaws. You may receive a maximum of 7 XP from flaws. Add XP gained from flaws to your initial XP. With the Storyteller’s permission, a player may choose more flaws, totaling more than 7 points, but the character cannot earn more than 7 XP from flaws.
• After purchasing merits and adding XP from flaws you may use your remaining initial XP to:
  • Purchase more attributes, skills, or backgrounds.
  • Purchase additional dots of Generation. You must purchase the Generation background at the XP cost of the new Generation. You must have 1 Graduation to have 3 dots of Generation, and 2 Graduations to have 4 dots.
  • Purchase additional dots of your in-clan disciplines
  • Purchase up to 3 dots in Celerity, Potence, or Fortitude if they are out-of-clan, but none of these may each be above 2 dots.
  • Purchase another dot of Morality.

Finishing Touches

• Note the character’s total Blood points.
• Note the character’s total dots of Willpower (normally 6).
• Note the character’s total health levels.
• Take your character’s background and completed character sheet to a Narrator for approval.
• Download and install VRChat if you haven't already, and send a friend request to Dorktoast.
