This is to help uss to know what to stat out for veteran characters, whether for NPC or player character use. You can try to apply for a Methuselah just like the template suggests but uh, frankly, good luck: you'd have better luck using Entry-Level, Seasoned, and Veteran, tops, but I got into a rhythm of makin' the templates.
Entry-Level Characters These characters are assumed to have learned the rhythm of their particular supernatural niche but they have yet to achieve any lasting and decisive accomplishments, such as Neonates, Cliaths, et cetera.
Attributes: 7/5/3, or 6/4/3 for Hunters/Mortals
Abilities: 13/9/5, or 11/7/4 for Hunters/Mortals
Backgrounds: 5
Power Set: As dictated by your source book for CG
Virtue Set: As dictated by your source book for CG
Freebie Points: 15, or 21 for Hunters/Mortals. Taking 7 cumulative freebie points in Flaws will max this to 22.
Experienced Characters: Ancillae, Rank 2 Garou, Etc.
This template represents IMPRESSIVE Ancillae or Rank 2 Garou or the like. As such, you should take this template and either satisfy the numbers it requires at maximum, or meet somewhere halfway between default and this template.
Attributes: 9/6/4, or 8/5/3 for Hunters/Mortals.
Abilities: 20/13/10, or 17/11/9 for Hunters/Mortals
Backgrounds: 10
Freebie points: 20, max out at 27.
Powers
After deciding what your starting powers would be as if a beginner-level character, then spend up to 24 XP towards your powers (Garou gifts up to Rank 2, Vampire disciplines, Thaumaturgical paths, Spheres, etc.). If you're 1 XP shy from affording your final spend, take the point. Hunters have 2 Virtue points to spend for the appropriate Edges.
Veteran Characters: Elders and Rank 3 Garou, etc.
Attributes: 9/6/4 + 1 (So you have either 10/6/4, 9/7/4, or 9/6/5), or 17/11/9 + 1 for Hunters/Mortals
Abilities: 22/15/12, or 20/13/11 for Hunters/Mortals
Backgrounds: 10
Freebie points: 20, max out at 27.
Powers
After deciding what your beginning-level character would have had, spend up to 51 XP toward your powers. If you're 1 XP shy from affording your final spend, take the point. Hunters have 5 Virtue points to spend for the appropriate Edges. Watch out, with Virtues come insaaaaanity.
Miscellany
- Garou add 1 to either Rage, Gnosis, or Willpower and satisfy Rank 3 Renown.
- Vilkas doesn't understand anything about Mage, Ben fix this
- Vampires add 2 points to their Virtues and subtract 1 from their Humanity or lift them 1 on their Path rating.
- Hunters gain 1 Conviction or 1 Willpower.
Old Bastards: Ancients and Rank 4 Garou, etc.
Attributes: 9/6/4 + 2 (So you have either 11/6/4, 9/8/4, or 9/6/6), or 17/11/9 + 2 for Hunters/Mortals
Abilities: 24/17/14, or or 22/15/13 for Hunters/Mortals
Backgrounds: 15
Freebie points: 20, max out at 27.
Powers
After deciding what your beginning-level character would have had, spend up to 63 XP toward your powers. If you're 1 XP shy from affording your final spend, take the point. Hunters have 6 Virtue points to spend for the appropriate Edges and by this point are probably seriously losing it.
Miscellany
- Garou have 2 points, which can be split, to either Rage, Gnosis, or Willpower and satisfy Rank 4 Renown.
- Vilkas doesn't understand anything about Mage, Ben fix this
- Vampires add 4 points to their Virtues and subtract 2 from their Humanity or lift them 2 on their Path rating.

Srs Bsns Methuselahs and Scary Bastards

Backgrounds: 20
Freebie points: 20, max out at 27 (oh my God, do you need them?)
Powers
After deciding what your beginning-level character would have had, spend up to 78 XP toward your powers. If you're 1 XP shy from affording your final spend, take the point. Hunters have 7 Virtue points to spend for the appropriate Edges. Off of the top of my head, I think that if you're that far gone you're probably completely freaking bazonkers.
Miscellany
- Garou have 3 points to distribute between Rage, Gnosis, or Willpower and satisfy Rank 5 Renown.
- Vilkas doesn't understand anything about Mage, Ben fix this
- Vampires add 6 points to their Virtues and subtract 3 from their Humanity or lift them 3 on their Path rating.
