==== Character Sheet Math  ====
We utilize stats significantly above Neonate, but below Standard Elder Arrays.
This is a City level Elder game (not global manipulation) and it's about actually running a city. So Backgrounds are worth to be taken. Merits and Flaws that suit a political game are usually welcomed. You probably know quite well what you would not want in a game ...

This way Offices & Domains are handed out on player-group decision and not by spending points on it. These are "hard to rate values", so they are denoted under Duties.

===== Notes =====
*'''Backgrounds:''' Players may choose individual Backgrounds up to 6 dots per background independent of Generation.
**''Age 1'' reduces Humanity by 1. Increasing Humanity during Character Creation costs 5 Freebies.
**''Status 3'' refers to Elder Status, '''Status 4''' refers to Primogen status and/or holding an office. Being Prince of a city is '''NOT''' reflected by Status dots.
*'''Derangements for high trait ratings''' If a character starts with an attribute, ability or discipline with 6 or more dots (s)he suffers a derangement. The more or higher the traits the more severe it shall be.
*'''Merits and Flaws'''
**''Unwanted Merits/Flaws:'' "dark fate" (5pt, PG), "Probatory sect member" (4pt, PG) , "Guilt wracked" (4pt, GttC)
**''Wanted Merits/Flaws:'' Everything that fits well into a political game.
*'''Duties''' of a character are Offices such as ''domain'', ''keeper of the Elyisum'', ''scourge'', ''sheriff'' or ''prince''. Duties are duties. They don't fit well as merits or flaws. Though being booted out of an office (and other Vampires knowing this) is a Flaw.
*'''Specialisations''': Don't forget that you automatically specialize in EVERY Attribute and Ability if you start with a rating of 4 or higher.
