Willpower is a universal trait used in all the WoD venues in CC. To simplify things and systems balance, all supernaturals get a starting Willpower of 4 and metahumans get a starting Willpower of 3. Additional dots can be bought by everyone at creation for 2 freebie points each or with XP later on for current rating. There is a level cap of 8, including for most VIPs.
Characters with a high willpower (6 or better) need to be roleplayed like they have a strong sense of will and can self-discipline and restrain themselves. Characters can lose willpower over the course of gameplay, especially if staff notices them consistently missing the mark with their roleplay.
Spending & Refreshing Temporary Willpower[]
Each game day, unless a character is in a frozen or paused scene, they automatically begin with full temporary willpower. Its too hard to track everyone's temporary willpower in an online game, so players are given the benefit of the doubt when it comes to spending temporary willpower to avoid frenzy or gain an automatic success and to keep track of it themselves. If staff notices someone seeming to be spending more temporary willpower than their character sheet allows, they will get a private warning. Nature & Demeanor are still important for roleplaying purposes and characters who are played "true" to their nature, demeanor, humanty and willpower will be eligeable for ST XP.
