What XP costs in each edition

These are the book prices the sheet uses. In V5, V20 and Dark Ages your chronicle's Table Rules can change a price for everyone or for one player. They can't change V6 prices. When you raise a trait by more than one dot you pay for each new dot in turn. Going from 2 to 4 in a V5 Attribute costs 15 for the third dot plus 20 for the fourth. How to spend it is in Earn and spend XP.

V5

Trait	Price
Attribute	new rating x 5
Skill	new rating x 3
Specialty	3
Clan Discipline	new rating x 5
Other Discipline	new rating x 7
Discipline for a Caitiff	new rating x 6
Ritual or Thin-Blood formula	its level x 3
Merit, Background or Loresheet	3 per dot
Blood Potency	new rating x 10

A Caitiff pays x 6 for every Discipline because a Caitiff has no clan Disciplines.

V20 and Dark Ages

V20 prices use the rating you already have. Going from 2 to 3 in an Attribute costs 8.

Trait	Price
Attribute	current rating x 4
New Ability	3
Ability	current rating x 2
New Discipline	10
Clan Discipline	current rating x 5
Other Discipline	current rating x 7
Discipline for a Caitiff or Panders	current rating x 6
New secondary path of a blood sorcery	7
Secondary path	current rating x 4
Willpower	current rating
Ritual	its level x 3
Merit	3 per dot

The secondary path lines are for Thaumaturgy, Necromancy and the other sorceries that have paths. The first path is the Discipline itself and is priced as one.

Ghouls and revenants

A ghoul pays 20 for a new Discipline. After that a Discipline of the domitor's clan costs current rating x 15 and any other costs current rating x 25. A ghoul whose type is Independent never gets the clan price, so every Discipline after the first dot costs x 25. A Vassal ghoul gets it. A revenant pays the same way with its family's Disciplines at x 15.

Backgrounds

In V20 Backgrounds aren't bought with XP. They change through the story and the sheet changes them for free. In Dark Ages raising a Background you already have costs current rating x 2. The book leaves that to the storyteller, so check with yours. A new Background still comes from the story.

Adding a Flaw doesn't give you any XP in any edition.

V6

Trait	Price
Attribute	new rating x 5
Skill	new rating x 2
Merit	5
Clan Trait	5 for Neonate, 10 for Ancilla, 15 for Elder
Clan Discipline	new rating x 5
Other Discipline	new rating x 6
Power	its rank x 2

The power that comes free with a new Discipline dot costs nothing.
