==Character Generation:==
===Charms (All):===
• Characters (except Infernals) begin with all excellencies that their stats qualify them for. Infernals instead know all General Charms of their patron Yozi and their favoured Yozi, which upgrade themselves automatically upon raising Essence without necessitating repurchases. The General Charms of all other Yozis are treated normally. <br>
• The selection of a Sorcery Charm includes two spell selections of the appropriate circle.
Additional charm selections used for spells enables three spell selections instead of the default.<br> 
• Custom charms from PoH’s Hundredfold Facets of Enlightenment, Jon Chung rewrites, Perfect Lotus Volume 1 and 2, and The Demented One are available for use as are those created by Jon Chung and DementedElf. All other custom charms, spells, and martial arts will need to be posted for group review and ST approval.<br> 
• All books are available for use.

===Character Traits===
Traits may be of any value, with a maximum of 5 or Permanent Essence, whichever is higher; without requiring the spending of bonus points. 

===Health Levels===
Characters gain a number of Ox-Body Techniques equal to their Resistance. 

===Craft Ability===
Craft (X) is considered and treated like a specialty and priced accordingly. There is no non-specialty Craft, and so Craft Specialties have a limit of 5 dots (or Essence, whichever is higher) per specialty. If you wish to further specialize your Craft (X), additional specialties of specialties may be purchased at one-half the cost of a normal specialty.
