Eight Princes Rules

100 points.

Extra points available if you do backstories, poems, diaries or anything else like that, at my discretion. Experience will be given out per chapter.

No advanced powers are available.

Blind auction, as usual.

Powers.

Basic Pattern is available for 35 points.
Sorcery is available, and does not work well in Amber, but works much better as you move away from it.
You generally have to be a day's ride (25-30 miles) from Amber before being able to use Pattern to shift Shadow. Shadow paths are present, but are all outside of that area.
Unless you have a strange origin, you will be assumed to have a pack of Trumps, with each Elder, one of yourself and one of Amber, provided you have walked the Pattern. (35 point level or 50)
Pattern weapons are not available at game start.
No elaborate Trump defenses or defenses at all exist. The first three Amber books should give you a good idea of what the Castle is like.
The Courts of Chaos are not generally known, but based on lore from the games, a child of Benedict, Brand, Fiona or Bleys could be half-Chaosian.
Logrus would not be available for any of these characters.
