Re: [DL] Alternate Character creation (was: A Question About Edges...)

[toadpooka@juno.com]

My group decided to fix this situation by altering the character creation
rules.  Instead of Aptitude Points, you just start with a chunk o' Bounty
(equal to 3 times your Cognition+Smarts+Knowledge).  Everything is bought
at the standard Bounty rate.  This causes most characters to have a bunch
of level 1-3 skills, with only one or two at level five.  Edges become
really expensive, too.  We even had hucksters and sykers (from HoE)
starting with only four in thier main skill.
This method is more complicated, and not something to spring on newbies
right away, but makes for much more interesting characters.
