==Step Two: Rank Roles==
Each character is ranked in five roles:
----
'''FIXER | INFLUENCER | PERFORMER | RESEARCHER | SCRAPPER'''
----
Rank one '''Role''' at [[file:d10a.png|24px|d10]] one at [[file:d8a.png|24px|d8]] two at [[file:d6a.png|24px|d6]] and one at [[file:d4a.png|24px|d4]]

==Step Three: Assign/Rank Knacks==

==Knacks [[file:d6a.png|32px|d6]] [[File:Arrow03.png|24px]]==
Knacks are specific specialties under a given Role that the character is just a natural at. 

Starting knacks are worth an extra [[file:d6a.png|24px]] to the roll it applies to but can be stepped up during chargen as outlined below.

[[file:d0a.png|12px]] Each player gets to assign two free knacks at [[file:d6a.png|24px]] to their Character's [[file:d10a.png|24px]] role.

[[file:d0a.png|12px]] Each player gets to assign one free knack at [[file:d6a.png|24px]] to their Character's [[file:d8a.png|24px]] role.

[[file:d0a.png|12px]] Each player gets to assign two additional knacks at [[file:d6a.png|24px]] to any role rated [[file:d6a.png|24px]] or higher or step up an existing knack (or two) at a one-for-one exchange rate. 

Knacks cannot be assigned to a character's [[file:d4a.png|24px]] role.

'''No knack can be stepped up higher than the dice value of the role it is assigned to.'''

==Step Four: Select Distinctions==
Each character is ranked in three Distinctions:
----
'''ECHO | PROFESSION | WILDCARD'''
----
All Distinctions are ranked at [[file:d8a.png|24px|d8]]

===Echo [[file:d8a.png|28px|d6]]===
Echo describes where your character's life intersected with the supernatural and how that changed them. Echo also determines your character's Power Set.

===Profession [[file:d8a.png|28px|d6]]===
A character's Profession is what they do outside their place in the supernatural world, though Profession and Echo are often a hand in glove prosopect, the one supporting and enhancing the other. 

[[Shadowwalkers:_Prime_Sets#Profession|< < < Go to Profession Distinction]]

===Wildcard [[file:d8a.png|28px|d6]]===
The Wildcard distinction represents something truly unique about your character that sets them apart from their fellows and can be just about anything within reason.

[[Shadowwalkers:_Prime_Sets#Wildcard|< < < Go to Wildcard Distinction]]

==Step Five: Select SFX==
SFX, or special effects, are stunts added to your various distinctions. Each character starts play with the Hinder SFX active on each of their three distinctions.
:[[File:Check002.png|24px]] '''Hinder:''' ''Sometimes your distinction works against you.'' Gain 1 plot point when you roll a [[File:d4a.png|24px]] instead of a [[File:d8a.png|24px]] to represent your distinction.

:Additionally, each character gets to add two more SFX to one or two of their distinctions. Use the information on '''pp 62-63''' of the handbook to build your SFX.
----
:'''Note:''' While this game ''does'' use Powers, <u>DO NOT</u> use any of the Power SFX on '''pp 191-192''' nor the Abilities SFX found on '''pp 194-213'''.
----

==Step Six: Rank Power Set Powers==
Each character starts with a power set of the same name as their Echo Distinction. Each set includes three powers. Rank one power at [[file:d10a.png|24px|d10]] and two at [[file:d8a.png|24px|d8]] If a power would apply to a given action, add the power's die to the roll. Only one power may be added to a given roll. Low or no-stakes actions generally won't require a roll to use.
