Familiars Via XP

General Rules

Leftover XP may be folded into XP in the same category to buy something (so leftover Primary Attribute XP may be folded into Secondary or Tertiary attributes, for example). If you still can't buy anything with the remainder fold it into 'general/freebie point' XP.

Attributes

Familiars start with 1 dot in every attribute save Appearance, which starts at 0.

Quick Reference: Attribute Costs

• 1 dot: 0 XP
• 2 dots: 0 + 4 = 4 XP
• 3 dots: 4 + 8 = 12 XP
• 4 dots: 12 + 12 = 24 XP
• 5 dots: 24 + 16 = 40 XP

Freebie Points

Familiars have (rating x 10) freebie points, which they spend on attributes, abilities, willpower, and charms

Most efficient distribution: Assuming 4 Abilities at 3, initial 8 freebie points are most efficiently spent on raising Abilities from 3->5 (2 freebie points become 14 XP)-> this becomes 56 free XP.

Assuming a background rating of 1, the last 2 freebie points become 2 points of Charms, or 6 XP.

Assuming a background rating of 2, the next 12 FP become 6 points of WP, or 33 XP

Assuming a background rating of 3, the 22 FP become 7 points of WP for 14 FP (42 XP) and 8 points of Charms (24 XP)

Assuming a background rating of 4, the 32 FP become 7 points of WP for 14 FP (42 XP) and 18 points of Charms (54 XP)

Assuming a background rating of 5, the next 42 FP become 7 points of WP for 14 FP (42 XP) and 28 points of Charms (84 XP)
