Attributes

Players should be careful when selecting their attributes, as attributes are more costly and difficult to raise after approval. Raising ones attributes after approval will require RP-backed justifications across a period of time and may not be raised more than (1) level per upgrade event. In some causes, RP can also cause an attribute to be lowered, such as following a permanent injury to a limb (Dexterity or Strength) or disfigurement of the features (Appearance).

CN has done away with the prioritization of Attributes and instead rewards a lump sum of points for players to distribute among their attributes. Attributes all begin at 1 (unless otherwise stated by sphere rules).

Point Distribution:

Mortal & Sub-Spheres: (13) points

Supernatural Spheres: (15) points
