Mostly with merits and bonus points

Let's talk about it then.

What's confusing you?

You can spend the Freebies on these things at these rates:

It’s usual to roughly balance merits and flaws in cost; seven points of flaws is a hard limit, but any excess of merits bought above flaws has to be paid from freebie points.
There is more than a slight tendency (for me anyway!) to suffer from candy-store syndrome with merits, and then have to whittle down the wish list to those most important to the concept that you can afford.
Edit: Dominic’s shortlist of merits and flaws is still there at the bottom of his character sheet, so if you’re interested you can see what I had to discard…

On another note, Merits and Flaws are entirely optional. Merits can be purchased with Freebie points, while taking a Flaws adds Freebie points that you can spend on other things.

@TechnocratSloth15 please engage me/us over your questions so we can get you a character made.

The game is in flight, we (try to) post every day and the group would benefit from having you in character sooner rather than later.

Okay. I’ve got the skills all picked out
It’s arete and merits i’m having trouble with. Sorry I was gone. I had a trip

I have 15 bonus points, right?

15 freebie points, which you can spend as per the chart @emsquared posted a little above.

@TechnocratSloth15 how's it going with character creation?

Getting close? Have any questions ?

Hey guys. I’m really sorry, but IRL shit came up out of nowhere, and I have too cancel. I am so sorry

It happens, don't worry. Maybe next time.

No surprise there.

Okeydoke! Onward and upward!

Sorry to hear that, @TechnocratSloth15. Best of luck with your RL!

Forward!

Just a heads up team, I have 2 kids home sick today and won't be able to post. Will try to catch up tomorrow, but may then be extra busy at work catching up with that, so...

Point is, gonna have a bit of an lull here. Stick with me!

No worries, hope the little ones get well soon!

All sympathy here; I only have one son, but my wife’s health is poor, so the interruptions come frequently. Guess why I choose an intermittent hobby like PbF :-)

I'm going to be in the hospital for up to 30th. Hopefully not that long though. Will try to post as much as I can, but that will mostly depend on if the internet behaves..

Thanks for the heads up reversia! Take care, hope all is well soon.

Best of luck, @reversia!

Good news: I'm back for the weekend, then gotta go back on Monday, though hopefully only for 2-3 days, depending on tests and such. So shouldn't be gone long.
