====== Character Creation ======

THIS PAGE MAY NOW BE MOOT:  I THINK EVERYTHING HERE IS NOW INCLUDED ON THE HOUSE RULES PAGE

The house rules for this campaign differ a little bit from the standard Savage Worlds rulebook.

  * PCs are recruited as veterans and so they start with 20XP to spend.
  * PCs start with six ability points to begin with rather than the standard 5.  
  * The "Noble" edge is meaningless in Gotham and may not be chosen for this campaign.
  * Starting Gear:   PC wildcards may choose a vehicle, weapon, or special equipment at character creation.  If the item is ever lost or destroyed, they may replace it next game session.  That way, a PC may guarantee that they always have their choice stuff.  
    * PCs may choose to take the "Rich" edge to gain an extra piece of special equipment that will be replaced.
    * PCs may take the "Filthy Rich" edge to gain three extra pieces of special equipment they are guaranteed to have  
    * PCs may choose to take a Hinderance where they do not get any special equipment and must rely on whatever is in the arsenal at the beginning of each game session. 
  * Characters who choose the Magic Arcane Background must choose powers from the list on this website rather than from the rulebook.   



**Are we both using the same edition of the rules;  I am using the DELUXE EXPLORER'S Edition**

//I am using the "Explorer's Edition".  I don't see "deluxe" in the title.   163 pages?  © 2007? //

Mine's 2012 date, 191 pages.

//Shucks.  I'll have to get a new one, then. //
