-Next, you should select [[chargen:boons|Boons]] and [[chargen:drawbacks|Drawbacks]] for your character. Boons and Drawbacks are unique adjustments to your character which fall outside of the normal categorization field offered by Paths. Boons offer beneficial adjustments to your character, and are intended to offer a way of fleshing out a character’s design whilst also offering unique benefits. Boons may be bought with [[game_systems:experience|Experience]] - up to 25 EXP may be spent on Boons at character creation.+Next, you should select [[chargen:boons|Boons]] and [[chargen:drawbacks|Drawbacks]] for your character.

-Keep in mind that although making your starting character is instant, spending Experience during the game takes time, to represent your character honing and developing their skills over time rather than sporadically leveling up. Consult with your GM on whether the campaign is Fast, Normal, or Slow Paced.

You may run into trouble on carrying it all around though!
