Points:

• No 5's at character creation under any circumstances
• No more than one 4 in Attributes and one 4 in abilities
  (4 in abilities must be bought with freebies, per standard rules)
• Be realistic about your traits, read the book descriptions.
  Realize that a super-genius teenager who has 4 in Intelligence will not likely have a 4 in Athletics because most of this character's time is spent studying.
  Most teenagers and young adults in their First Rank will not be experts in anything because of their age. Supernatural/Exceptional ability (5) is out of the question.

Merits and Flaws

Please utilize the merits and flaws system we have on the site to determine which merits and flaws are allowed and which are not. Reasons for flaws or merits that are not available are implemented into the Merits and Flaws system for your viewing. The character generation system will show approved and restricted merits and flaws, but it is up to the player to make sure that the restriction is dealt with.

Preferred methods for Ahadi: East Africa is to develop pointless Merits and Flaws or Character Quirks during play. Regardless no more than 7 points in Merits and Flaws may be exceeded as per Werewolf: The Apocalypse rulings.
