Character Advancement

"Frying pans without fires are often far between"

Returns no characters will mostly have walked the Pattern before the start of the Game.
if you would like to bring back a character who doesn't want to (or can't) walk the Pattern, please email us about alternatives.
Still no constructs and no Jewel of Judgement attunement!
There are some FAQs below; more will be added as they come up.
Please let us know who you think you gave Trumps of yourself to last time!
A bonus of 1 additional point per hundred words (up to a maximum of 5) is available to any player who sends us a short summary of what happened last time. -- see Last Time in Amber...

FAQ

What if I don't want Pattern: As above, please email us.

My character was in an untenable position at the end of the last game they played in. Can I...: ... make a new character?; Yes, you have 60 points, plus Pattern just as if your character was a returning character.; ... play them anyway?; Yes, if you really want to, we'll come up with some way to make it work, but please bear in mind that we can't influence the opinions of the other players/characters!

I'm making a new character; can I have both the 5 extra points for public background and the five extra points for a summary of last time: You can have up to 5 extra points in total, but you could produce some background and some summary if you wanted.

Can I keep a magical item I picked up on the last adventure?: Yes; you can either pay points for it, in which case it is yours, or not, in which case it will continue to be ours - see the last question below!

Can I do something not covered above?: Yes.
