Campaign info

Here are the things we've agreed on, for the new campaign, this far:

Name of the Covenant/Saga:

Germanitas (Rhenus)

This is what you get:

1 magus character
1 Ager Privatus (part of Germanitas, the covenant)
1 fighter (grog, free), taken from the 'pool' in your Ager Privatus
150 Build Points (BPs) for creating your Ager Privatus

All magi get these for free:

Skilled Parens -virtue
Language of the country, where magus spent his apprenticeship in: Score 1 (no dead languages)

Common Hooks and Boons

Hooks: Unknown (Major), Politics (Minor), Rival (Minor)
Boons: Aura (Minor) x2, Wealthy (Minor), Prestige (Minor)

Each Ager Privatus can take one Minor Boon for free, and if you want it, one Hook and one Boon to even it out.

This is what you get in creating your own Ager Privatus

Magical Aura of 5 (includes two Minor Boons)
2 servants (=specialist, free of charge) in the covenant. Yes, you get 2 "servants", see above.
Note that your own shield grog is taken from the pool of servants from your Ager Privatus as well.

max 10 pawns of vis sources (40 BPs, you pay normally)
max vis stocks: 20 pawns (4 BPs, you pay normally)

max Level of Lab Text: 25

1 Major Hook and Boon
1 Minor Hook and Boon

or

2 Minor Hooks and Boons

no expensive equipment without corresponding Virtues (or Flaws)

MUST-do's

You have to take a communicating device as a part of your Ager Privatus. It is an enchanted device in the form of a wooden bowl, and has a Intellego Imaginem effect, level 25, in it. Cost: 10 BPs.

You must write a short description of your character from his early childhood, the person your brothers remember him to be.

CAN'T-do's

Don't take more than one Major Hermetic Virtue, two Personality Flaws, or more than five Minor Flaws.

Don't take Flaws, which give the other players difficulties as well (e.g. Feud), or cannot be fitted into campaign or that might be really hard to explain (e.g. Covenant/Feral Upbringing). Also don't take Incomprehensible and expect people to trade books with you!

These guidelines are just that, guidelines. If you have a great idea about a character concept, which includes something like the Feud, talk to Lauri about it, and see what you can do.
