 ## Starting With Additional Character Points

A starting character is inexperienced in the adventuring world, although they might have been a soldier or a pirate and done dangerous things before.
 
 Starting off with 150 character points marks your character's entry into the adventuring life. If you're already familiar with the game, or if you are joining an existing campaign, your GM might decide to have you begin with more character points, on the assumption that your character has already survived a few harrowing adventures.

If your Strength is reduced below 13 somehow (perhaps by a withering curse), then you can’t benefit from the Grappler talent until your Strength is restored.
