Child Character Creation

By request, a quick run down on the traits and stuff is here.

The fifth dot in most things costs double, but I don't expect you to be able to afford any fifth dots.

Attributes

You start with a free point in each (already inked in). Pick your favourite category (Mental, Physical, Social) and distribute 5 dots. Pick your next category and distribute 4 dots, then 3 in the final category. For a balanced character it pays to have two dots in each attribute (which leaves you with little choice of how to do that tertiary category...). Attributes are capped at 5; remember the last dot is double.

Skills

No free dots this time, but otherwise much the same deal: 7 dots in your primary category, 4 dots in the secondary and 2 in the tertiary. Finally pick one skill and specify one aspect of it in which you're specialised. Skills are capped at 3 for most children; see the Prodigy merits, below.
