-Some thoughts on Character Creation.
+====== 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?  &copy; 2007? //
+Mine's 2012 date, 191 pages.
+//Shucks.  I'll have to get a new one, then. //

+Yep, that's the varmint.
-  * Starting at 20XP seems to always have worked for us in the past.   Our guys should be already somewhat useful or they wouldn't have been recruited.
-  * Perhaps 1 extra ability score point.   The game has everyone starting with 5 ability points (=1d6 in all 5 scores unless you drop one to a d4).   I've always kind of wanted to push that up to 6 points (so you can have 1 stat at a d8 to start without eating a d4, there's just no stat I want at a d4 as an general adventurer).
