Freebies	15

• Merits: Up to 10 points of Merits allowed. Costs 1 Freebie per point.
• Flaws: Up to 7 points Flaws allowed. Bestows 1 Freebie per point.

• Lupus characters (excluding Glass Walkers and Bone Gnawers) are restricted from the following skills without very good justification:

Skills: Crafts, Drive, Etiquette, Firearms

Knowledges: Computer, Law, Linguistics, Politics, Science

There may be other obviously related Abilities such as Academics, Electronics, and other such Secondaries. Use common sense.

• All Garou get Lore Garou 3 for free as a reflection of having been fully taught the ways of Tribe and Nation. This does not count against the Ability points allowed in character generation. Raising Lore Garou above 3 will cost points as normal.

• The Rites background is not used here. Your starting dots in rites are determined by your starting dots in the rituals ability. You need that ability to enact most rites anyways, so paying twice in CGen just to be able to Cleanse things is silly.
