Overview

200 pts. Basic Pattern For Free.

You may have partial powers, but you must ask

You may have extra powers / specialized powers, but you must ask

You may not have shadow knight powers, see the section below

We will not be having an auction, but if you wish to be 1st rank in something tell me and I will then tell you if you are being beaten by someone in that stat. If more than one person goes for, say, endurance, I'll let the two fight it out.

You may also substitute Logrus for Pattern Imprint, just take 50 points and apply it to the 80 pt point Logrus / Shapshifting cost.

Good/Bad Stuff

+/- 5 pts is my normal limit... up to 10 if you really need it

An opportunity... Or a Curse

Rose Petal Power. Is it a curse? Is it a blessing. If you take it, please justify where you learned it from (Corwin and Thomas are the only known holders of the power, but you don't have to have learned it from them...). If you do not take it, you don't know about it, except for what you've picked up in play

Checklist

You have have all of these in your character writeup:

1. Status with Eric (are you in with him? are you fighting him? Ignoring him?)
2. Physical / Personality Description (and put it up on PublicDescriptions)
3. Some amount of history (just prove to me you've thought about it)
4. Come up with and elaborate upon some deep connection your character has to someone important in the world. This should probably be an Elder Amberite, but I will take anything if argued well. This person must be alive and must be a strong (positive or negitive) influence on your character. This is your chance to resurrect or keep alive any elder you wish (at least by the start of the game)
5. Allocated Points (of course)
6. Do you have a trump?
7. What kind of trump deck do you have

Trumps

For free everyone may have a trump of Eric & Thomas if desired. You may also have 2 additional trumps of your choosing and one of your link. (for a total of 5 trumps for a starting character). You may also buy more:

1. 2 pts - A deck with all the elders, and place trump of amber. Named and numbered additional trumps
2. 4 pts - A truely impressive trump deck. All the elders, most lords of chaos, many place trumps, etc.

Contributions

All contributions are fair game here, I'm open to just about anything. Some ideas:

1. Trumps of Characters (chris did a cool job with this last game)
2. Wiki Editor - Fill in all the nodes I haven't, elaborate on those that need it, maintain it through out the game, etc.
3. Write Stories
4. Previous Game writeup... Finish out the SummaryOfPreviousGame? wiki topic, worth less than the Wiki Editor contribution, but still worth some points
5. Game Log... Don't you wish we had one of these for the last game?

Whatever you guys want, propose it and I'll assign points for it

Sorcery / Conjuration

I don't like these powers and they'll probably get short shrift... From the last game:

Sorcery and Conjuration will not work in Amber. Some of this game (maybe even a large part) will take place in amber, so buying these is sort of like a gamble. Logrus and Pattern will always trump Sorcery anywhere but the courts of choas. For this, I'm reducing the price of these two things. Sorcery costs 10 pts, Conjuration 15, and together they only cost 20 pts. If you are a sorceror and want a place to wrack spells, ignore the requirement that you have to have conjuration to buy the item.

We'll keep those point costs... Don't complain to me when it doesn't get you much

Shadow Knight Powers

These don't exist so none of these are available unless you plead on hands and knees for them... Primarily because I don't like them and because I don't have a good feel for them

• Implants
• High Compelling (Though see the RosePetalPower?
• Constructs
• Broken Pattern (you get imprint for free so what do you care)
• New shared powers

And anything else mentioned in Shadow Knight I'm forgetting
