Character Regulation Bylaws

1) Interaction with Independent Chronicles

a) OWBN characters may interact with non-member chronicles that are in process of applying to the network in order to investigate how the applying chronicle may best integrate into the shared universe.
i) The Admissions Coordinator must verify an application has been submitted and under review by the independent chronicle prior to any character interaction with the non-member chronicle.
ii) The HST of the member chronicle interacting with the applicant chronicle must send notification to the Admissions Coordinator during each month of interaction.

b) OWBN characters may not bring the following into the network from a non-member chronicle:
i) Item Cards
ii) Supernatural powers (i.e. Disciplines/Gifts/Arcanoi/Bunk/Numinae/Magic) that require a teacher to learn as per the Character Regulation Bylaws, Section 7.
iii) Lore knowledge
iv) Merits or Flaws
v) Backgrounds
vi) History/Plot

2) New Character Creation

a) A new character shall be restricted to the points allowed under standard character creation in the appropriate Mind's Eye Theater rules, plus up to thirty (30) experience points.

i) Any awards of traits, abilities, or other character statistics count towards this limit as the amount of experience that the player would have had to spend to purchase that particular statistic.

b) Up to thirty (30) unspent experience from a previous character may be rolled over into the new character, however the combined total from storyteller awards and unspent experience may not total more than thirty experience points for any reason. Any awards made towards the creation of a new character must be made within three game sessions of the character entering play.

i) These points may be spent only as Experience points, not as creation points. This spending should follow your Chronicle's House Rules.
ii) These points may not be allowed to purchase any power above second Basic in any out of clan Disciplines, nor above first Basic in any Clan-specific Disciplines (Chimerstry, Protean, Mytherceria, etc.).
iii) Rare and Unusual Rules apply to how this XP is spent.

c) Experience points already spent shall not be transferred or refunded to another character. Points approved by the player character's home chronicle are considered spent.

3) Experience Points

a) No OWBN character may earn more than eight experience points in a single month.

i) Of these eight, no more than five may be for game attendance.

b) A character may only be awarded XP by its own home chronicle.

i) If a PC visits another chronicle and thus is eligible to earn additional XP, it is the player's responsibility to make sure that the storyteller crew of the chronicle the player visits informs the home chronicle, by e-mail, stamped index card, etc., so that the home chronicle can award the appropriate XP.
ii) The home chronicle is the final authority on how much XP is awarded (not to exceed the OWBN maximum of 8 per character per calendar month, of which only 5 may be awarded for attendance at games).

c) XP is awarded to the character not the player.
i) XP may only be spent on the PC to which it was awarded.
ii) The only exception is when a PC dies or is retired, the *unspent* xp, up to the maximum allowed by OWBN rules, may be transferred to a new PC.

d) Players who serve on short-term NPC duty may, at storyteller discretion, be allowed to earn some XP towards their active PC, however players of long-term NPCs should not be allowed to transfer large amounts of XP to their active PC.

4) Glass Ceiling

a) Vampire PCs are restricted by the following:
i) Any PC who drops below 8th generation must be retired to NPC.
ii) The highest attainable level of any discipline for a player character shall be advanced.

b) Werewolf PCs are restricted by the following:
i) Any PC who reaches Nike Sneakers StoreAir Jordan Release Dates Calendar
