char creation in the latest update

I found a problem in the character creation dialog. The link for starting money is broken.
To fix it you have to change the link in line 125 from "125" to "246".

Baww, one less thing to report.

Can you force 'Load autosave' on 'stats reset'? I generally don't view dialogues, I think I saw some info about autosave just fade away...

If I don't meet the two point limit during the creation, I still can get melee up to eight with freebies due to the history bonus. That's what the new histories will be for, right?

What disciplines do you allow to be chosen as ooc new ones?

I don't know if I can do that. Would a popup to remind you after closing the dialog be ok?

This kind of bonus isn't the real problem with the histories. What I want to avoid is abilities costing more or less, or being capped. That can cause problems with the research books.

For now I have celerity, fortitude, obfuscate, potence, and presence. Any other suggestions?

I guess. I know what I'm doing / loosing, perhaps a popup would make it foolproof.

And auspex. That leaves out dementation, dominate and protean. Acquiring dem. is out of question, protean - ok; what about dominate?

It also leaves Thaumaturgy out. But that is self evident.
For dominate, ok it's not a clan specific discipline, but having it should give the dialog options as well as the combat uses. And that requires a hell of scripting because dialog dominate is reserved for clan Ventrue.
Maybe for a later version, but for now I don't want to pile even more dialog editing on my desk.

I thought of it as a Ventrue specific, so I'm fine with the way it is. I bet there are more important things to do.

Speaking of character creation process...
here it says it costs 8 points to add a third dot in Attributes.

Well, I have 17, and I already started with 2 points in charisma (so I can persuade people)
But there is no option to there it further!

Same for clan disciplines.

It's a Malkavian, just in case you're wondering.


Edit: I can't raise Skills further than 3 as well, even thought it only costs 6.

It may be intentional, but itsure is confusing.

You can get hte 3rd dot only in your primary attributes and abilities. So as a Malk without histories you can set Perception, Intelligence, Wits, computers, finance, inspection, and rhetoric to 3.
