Next I decide on the Power level of the character/monster. A standard starting level character in a "Standard Fantasy" D20 Campaign has a total of 75 points of abilities distributed between STR, DEX, CON, INT, WIS & CHA. A standard starting level character in nWoD has a total of 15 points of traits, 4+5+6 dots distributed between the nine traits Strength, Dex, Stamina, Inteligence, Wits, Resolve, Presence, Manipulation & Composure. This gives us the beginnings of a ratio for equivalent power levels between the two systems. | Next I decide on the Power level of the character/monster.
