Character Generation

CharGen (short for Character Generation, also referred to on GarouMUSH as 'Birthplace' or 'BP') is not a global command, per se, but the process through which every character on the game goes through to assign starting stats to that character. This information (and the information contained in "+help chargen" on the MUSH) documents some of the Birthplace idiosyncrasies regarding starting statistics points available to be assigned out that players should expect going into CharGen on GarouMUSH.

Please note that the information contained here is for *starting* stats for characters who are Human, Rank:0 (Cub) Garou, or Rank:1 (Cliath) Garou. Any other character types who might come in (vampires, mages, Fostern+ Garou) are handled on a case-by-case basis--please check with the -reg wiz if your character is one of these types.
