Starting XP
1. Starting and Earning Experience Points
The C@M Changeling: The Dreaming venue has two main types of Experience Points:
Floor XP and MC XP. Characters may also gain 7 XP at character creation for optional
Flaws or Derangements taken at a rate of 1 XP per point of flaw or Derangement.

Out of Kith Arts purchased at character creation follow the restrictions found on page
108. Additional restrictions may be added as necessary.

Characters may not go into XP debt unless stated elsewhere in the book or FAQ.

The formula for XP is easy: Floor XP + MC XP (plus optional 7 for Flaws/Derangements)

= your XP.

a. Floor XP
i. This chronicle does not use MET: CtD pg. 108 for character creation XP.
The 30 base XP referred to there is not awarded. Instead, we provide an
XP Floor set out in the ​XP Growth Chart​. The Floor XP for the beginning
of the chronicle is 60.

ii. On the first of each month, every character’s Floor XP category is raised
to the value set out in the XP Growth Guide, regardless of attendance at
games or downtimes. In practical terms, this means games and
downtimes no longer provide specific XP awards. Every character gets
Floor XP on the first of the month.

b. MC XP
i. Membership Class (MC) provides 4 XP per MC level of the member at
character creation to a maximum of 60 XP. (4 XP * 15).

ii. MC held at the time of character creation must either be used entirely or
waived. This is to prevent circumventing the caps for Out of Kith Powers
set out above.

c. Chronicle XP Ceiling and the Accelerated Growth Rate

i. The Chronicle XP Ceiling chart represents the total maximum of Floor XP
+ MC XP. The 7 XP for optional flaws/derangements are outside of this
chart and are not considered for the AGR.

ii. A character that has less XP than the Chronicle XP Ceiling will earn an
additional 4 XP per month if they attend a game in that month. This is a
catch-up mechanic intended to assist characters created below MC 15 to
reach the Chronicle XP Ceiling.

XP Examples:

Player A wishes to make a new character They are MC1. They begin play with 60
Floor XP + 4 MC XP = 64 XP. They may choose up to seven points of Flaws for a
further 7 XP.

Player B wishes to make a new character during Year Two, during the first Month
of the second Year of the Chronicle. They are MC11. They begin play with 44 MC
XP + 118 Floor XP = 162 XP. They may choose up to seven points of Flaws for
a further 7 XP.

Player C is MC 10. They need to attend 5 games before they reach the Chronicle
XP Ceiling using the Accelerated Growth Rate to catch up to the MC XP
maximum. They play for two games and gain the AGR bonus twice. Due to life
circumstances, they are unable to attend for a year. Their Floor XP continues to
rise over time. When they return, they still only need to attend 3 games to reach
the Chronicle XP Ceiling.
