 ==== Perks, Creature Abilities, Character Creation ====
   * 30 stat set rolls is the cap for standard characters. We don't want such low stats that they are unplayable, we don't want dump max stats since it destroys balance. A good practice is 1-2 stats below 10, 2 16+ and rest around 11-13 for character creation as a guidance for helping newer players.
-  *  In general, when starting out in the system as a new player. It is expected you'll experiment with your EXP and buy stuff up and down a you explore the system. However, after newbie campaign, if you buy something up and use it, you are unable to buy it down without a GM reward usually. However, theres an incant called Philter of Regression that refunds EXP. You get 1 free 4 rank to use on a character similar to you getting one free Res from Isis / one free attune. Once you use it you will have to pay for another one or get a GM reward to enable buying something down.

   * The **Famous Perk** increases a characters COM permanently by 4 points and is not considered a bonus.
   * Instead of removing dice, exceptional and inferior attributes will now provide a static bonus of plus or minus 2 to the associated attribute when making a check against the attribute and other things associated with the attribute (like calculating defense values, weapon requirements, the dice pool for contested checks, unit regeneration, etc.). This bonus will NOT apply to any caps associated with the attribute (such as number of groups a magic user can buy and caps for skills).

   * Any ranks of Toxic Attack exceeding four is a legendary creature ability. Magic items that grant more than 4 ranks of toxic attack no longer function.
   * Regeneration only restores DP; permanent mutilation or body deformation is not something that regeneration can help fix.
+  * Every player with at least one rate 100 character may create 2 rate 50 characters per calendar year. In addition to 50 rates, the newly created character gains 15,000 gc and small RP item.
+    * The character may use their starting gold to purchase items with the Crafting and Enchanting system, or magical rituals including Attunement and Mutation.
+    * The character must be written up as a CHR item and playtested/approved to be eligible for games.
   * At any point should for story reasons or lore reasons you decide to retire a character, you may make a new character at 1/3 the rate of your retired character **up to rate 50**. The retirement must be announced publicly in order for you to get the EXP. This retired character is no longer considered a legal character for club games and may no longer be played. Should this character ever be played or brought out of retirement, the character made using the EXPs from retirement is no longer a legal character until the previous character is retired or the EXP gained from retirement plus 10 rates (25 000) is cut off from the character. This is so no shenanigans is done for boosting a new character to high rate to get a powerful magic item and then brought back to newer rate levels without some cost. Any attempt to get free or game the system should be notified to the rules coordinator.
-    * In the cases your new character would get enough rates to go above 50 from the retirement EXP, discuss with the rules coordinators to potentially work out a fun RP starting magic items. This includes special starting races or strange forms of existance (i.e. a floating book).

-  * There comes a time when your adventurer gets powerful enough to a point where many tasks or adventures are typically a breeze. A god becomes a worthy challenge and sea monsters are a past time hunt. Your ability and skills have reached your character in a place of increadible power, yet you feel there's more for them to do and explore.

     * I find that this typically starts to happen around rate 200, but it can be earlier or later depending on the magic items you have and the skills you've bought. It is at this point I encourage you to "legendary" your character. This is not a retirement, but rather and acknowledgment of the skills and powers of the character. They can really make games hard for the GM to run and may not be fun to play with as a another player. A mountain becomes a molehill and as such it's only fair that we take the time to recognize the dedication and time you've spent on the character. As such you will get earning a rate 50, plus some sort of reasonable custom item if you wish. This can be a custom race or other things. In exchange GMs are more than welcome to say no to that character's signup to a game.
     * Once you've legendary your character, you can continue to retire them, but for now the reward will be a lesser one which can be discussed as the case comes. Generally we'd like to see a story resolution instead of a complete hang up.
