At charact er creation:For Mortals, they get a bonus to Refresh. Let's say all characters begin Character Creation with a Refresh rate at 10. Mortals begin creation with 12 (they get a +2 to the starting Refresh). Next, you purchase stunts. Each stunt costs x number of Refresh points. Mortal stunts cost 1. So a Mortal with 12 Refresh at character creation could buy 5 stunts, and begin the game with Refresh Rate of 7.Supernatural characters, however, have a harder time. Supernatural stunts (like spellcasting, turning into an animal, etc) cost more Refresh. In addition, Supernatural characters have to take certain stunts (for instance, Wizards have to take Evocation, Thamutergy, Soul Gaze and Wizard's Sight); a starting wizard usually has a refresh of around 3.Your refresh must be at least 1 - if it dips to 0 or below, you are now considered an NPC.</blockquote>
