 ==== Changes to Virtues  ====
+====== New Virtues and XP spending systems ======
-Changes to Virtues - Because experience points are used to raise Virtues, Conviction is not traded in for more Virtue points. Spend experience points to increase Virtues as indicated on the Experience Cost chart, below. Your character’s Virtue rating determines the highest rated edge he can possess. Per the normal Hunter rules, his highest rated edge should still be in his creed path.\\
+With the confusing mechanics of virtues and how they tie into edges from the book, and it's poor translation to a PBP and live campaign such as SoTS, the STs have decided to make some adjustments.
-Edges in the same Virtue.
+===== A list of changes =====
-Virtue rating doesn’t limit the total number of edges that your character can have in a virtue like it once did. For example if a Defender has 3 Zeal, he can have the level-two Defender edge, as normal. But if you have enough experience points, your character can acquire every other Avenger and Judge edge up to level two as well, as long as his level-two Defender edge is never exceeded.\\
-Furthermore, by spending experience to increase Virtues, your character is not inherently prohibited from acquiring level-five edges as she is in the rulebook. If you have enough experience points, your hunter can get level-five edges. There are still prerequisites for achieving level-five edges, though – Substantial Justification and an ST ran Scene and 100% ST bye off (no character will ever have several level 5 edges and still be in play).
+  * Starting off, the Virtues have been reduced to a max of 5 instead of 10.
+  * The XP cost has been adjusted to compensate for these changes.
+  * Primary Virtues now cost (current rating (NR) * 8) and non-creed virtues now cost (CR*10)
+  * All edges are available to players at an increased cost. Now they work more like Hakau from Mummy or Gifts from Werewolf.
+  * When purchasing a virtue or creed, the completion time is considered half the XP rounded up.
+    * For example, purchasing a 3rd level of Virtue of your creed is 24XP, so halving it we get 12 days for the virtue to increase.
-Changes to Edges The number of edges your character can possess is based on how much experience you can spend, but edge levels are still limited by your character’s Virtue hunter (See chart). Your character’s primary Virtue still can’t be exceeded by her rating in any other Virtue, and the highest rated edge in her creed path cannot be exceeded by any other edge she possesses. \\
+Edges have also been adjusted to be tied to the virtue level themselves, with some additional changes to the XP.
+===== New Costs =====
+^ ^ Old Cost ^ New Cost ^
+| Primary Virtue Increase | NR*3 | CR*8 |
+| Other Virtue Increase | NR*5 | CR*10 |
+| Creed Edge | level*5 | Level*3 |
+| New Non-Creed Edge  | Level*7 | Level*5 |
+**EXAMPLE:**
+Tanner is a visionary that wants to buy vision 3 up from level 2 and purchase the level 3 edge Delve alongside it. Under these new costs and systems, she would be spending:
+*8 for the level 3 virtue, as she is a visionary. Which would be a sum of 16XP.
+Then Tanner purchases the level 3 Virtue Delve for 15XP as it is a level three edge of her primary virtue Visionary.
+All in all, she spends 31XP for the whole purchase.
+====== New Characters ======
+When creating a new character, the player is provided three points to spend amongst their virtues but their primary virtue (Zeal, Mercy, Vision) must have at least one, with the highest allowed being two.
+For example, Tanner is a Visionary who also cares for the supernatural and makes plenty of friends with them. So she starts with Vision 2, Mercy 1.

 ==== Edges ====
-When buying an Edge in a path, you can either go with the Core book version as normal or pick the alternative version from the respective Creed book. It's possible to get the alternative version as an Imbued of another Creed, that requires a very solid justification however. Furthermore, in order to prevent an Endgame-level Edge inflation, there is a certain Virtue Point requirement for every level of an Edge, which you need to fulfill before being able to manifest Edges of that level. The chart is as follows:
