CG/Merits

Characters get 34 dots of Merits to spend, in addition to 2 free Languages and 3 free Vampire Statuses (City, Clan, Covenant). You must spend 10 Merit dots before heading on to the next stage. At the end of CG, unspent dots will be converted to XP, and handed out to you after approval at a small amount of XP per week.
Status Merits that are above 2 cannot be bought in CG. Merits associated with Influence Spheres cannot be bought in CG. Merits dependent on location (Haven, Wyrm Nest, etc.) cannot be bought in CG.
Mortal characters should type +finish to submit their sheet for approval. Vampire and Ghoul characters head on to the next room.

==Comments:==
*Before completing this step, the system checks that:
**At least 10 dots have been spent (not including Languages and Vampire Status).
**2 dots of languages have been spent, representing a character's first and second language. Both of these dots are free.
**For Vampire characters, 3 dots between City, Clan, and Covenant. The first 3 dots are free.
*No Status stat can be above 2.
*Some Merits have pre-requisites. Some Merits require comments or notes. The system could have some way to check that the requirements are met before letting players purchase the Merit.
*Unspent Merits are converted to XP at 1XP per dot at the final stage of CG, and then put in an XP "bank" for the character.
