Character Sheets

Retainers

Wraith Retainers are built using the following simplified method of creation.

Attributes 6/4/3 (Max of 10 in any category)

Abilities: 5

Willpower: 3

Corpus: 8

Powers: 2

Each dot the player spends beyond the first gives the retainer an additional five experience traits. These can be spent on attributes, abilities, willpower, or powers. Below is a list of powers available for Wraiths. Each power cost 4 experience traits. In the case of powers that cost blood in Vampire, replace that cost with Corpus.

The powers that can cross the Shroud give the Wraith the ability to affect any living or undead being that it is capable of perceiving.

Any time a Wraith uses a power that crosses the Shroud there is an additional cost of 1 Corpus.

Additionally, all Common Wraiths receive the Powers Possess and Materialize for free (these do not count against the Wraith’s starting powers.
