I am hoping to begin running a SoE game for my group very soon but I have a question about character creation. The rules state that at creation a character can only have two disciplines and those are limited to a rating of no more than 6. However, the archetypes and premade characters have several domains and disciplines that are sometimes as high as 9 and 10. Am I missing something in the character creation rules or are the premade characters done differently?

The premade characters add their ways to their domains and disciplines, listing the entire pool that is to be rolled. A starting character could have as large a pool as 11 before additional bonuses and penalties come into play.

heridfel,

Thanks! That makes perfect sense now that I look at it. I knew I was overlooking something simple I just could not figure it out.

It's not the first time I see this question being asked. Read "The Archetypes" box on p.181, it reads: "The indicated rating for each skill is the addition between the level in the Domain and in the Way."
