=Character Creation & Advancement=
==Creation==
*Players have '''25 Destiny''' and '''15 Entanglement''' to spend on building their characters. Once character creation is completed, I will distribute additional, small Entanglement awards (5-10 points total) in the form of connections to other PCs and to the main plot. 
*'''‘Natural State’ Chi Conditions''': The book recommends allowing characters “one near-permanent beneficial Chi Condition per Rank level without the Sage messing with it” (p. 229). Those Conditions can be freely chosen at character creation, can be of any type, and are always Minor conditions with the following stats: Recovery 40, Interval 1 Chapter, Duration 2.
**At the end of a chapter, players may choose to designate an existing Chi Condition as one of their natural state conditions, replacing one previously designated. The new condition uses its existing Recovery, Interval & Duration stats; if it is a Major Condition, it will however revert to Minor unless maintained.
**Loresheet Chi Conditions: Chi Conditions purchased via Loresheets are treated as natural state conditions, and do not count against the limit of 1 free Condition/rank achieved. If a Loresheet Condition is ever permanently removed, the character has the Entanglement returned to them.

==Advancement==
*Characters will gain Destiny at Movie pace (3x base rate)
*Characters will gain Entanglement at Novel pace (2x base rate)
*I may award entertaining actions that don’t quite rise to the level of Deeds with Joss or small amounts of Entanglement (1-2).
