[SECOND] [AMENDMENT] [BYLAW REVISION] Character Starting Experience Ranked Vote

I, Chase Jelliffe, as Assistant Head Coordinator 1, hereby propose the following change to Character Bylaw 3.b through a ranked vote:

This proposal requires a Second.

The choices are as follows with more detail below

Choice 1: 160 XP

Choice 2: 140 XP

Choice 3: 120 XP

Choice 4: 100 XP

Choice 5: 80 XP

Choice 6: 60 XP (No Change)

Abstain

Reasoning: There have been quite a lot of requests made to propose an increase to starting XP due to the fundraiser XP bump that occurred last year. For half of 2024, characters were able to be created at 160 XP instead of 60. There was positive feedback about being able to create characters with more depth and capability for OWbN’s current meta as well as complaints that now new players to the org can only start with 60xp when just a few months ago their friends started with 160. Rather than shoot for a random amount, I figured it would be best to put a range of values so chronicles can choose the value they are comfortable with. To note, the last time starting experience was changed was in 2013 where XP was changed from 30 to 60.

Current limitations on how these points are spent:

These points may be spent only as Experience Points, not as creation/bonus points. This spending should follow your Chronicle's House Rules

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.

These points cannot be allowed to purchase any power above second Basic in any out of clan Disciplines.

Legacy: This bylaw is retroactive to characters created on January 1st, 2025 and after.
