The following characters are generated using the point method. Totals are based on 110 points. Trait Sanity rules are being used, as well. The wealth 'total bought equipment' rule is used. That is, Wealth^2 is available per 2 days, over the past year. Or Wealth^2 x 182.5
For beings with fewer traits, point value is as if all dice are rolled 4.
