All characters have 100 points, plus up to 150 additional points from disadvantages. Each catagory of character creation has set guidelines on what can be done in that area. Anything marked disallowed cannot be purchased, while anything marked dubious is highly subject to GM scrutiny - be warned.
The guidelines listed below have been chosen to ensure fairness on all sides. Pregenerated characters have been created along these same lines, with the exception of having a few extra experience points (to compensate for the disadvantage of not being created by the player).
