The more COSQuest Events you attend, the more points you acquire. Below are listed the procedures for assigning unused points, as well as the restrictions on changing points once they have already been assigned.

Assigning Unused Skill Points:
Unusued Skill Points can be assigned in two ways. First, players can mark on their Character Sheets during Check-out at any COSQuest Event which Skills, Spells, etc. that they would like to buy.

Second, players can use the Online Character Change page or email their character changes to cosguild@circleofswords.com.

Changes cannot be made during Registration or during an event. Also, be sure to check-out with enough money to cover any monetary cost associated with Skills that cost 6 Skill Points or more, as well as any Scrolls, etc. in your folder which might be needed. If you do not have all the materials, your character cannot be updated until the following event!

Changing Assigned Skill Points:
Players with less than 100 skill points:
Players with less than 100 skill points can make changes to their character without any penalty, provided that they have the necessary money and skill points for the necessary skills.

Players transferring to Quest from other LARPS:
Players may transfer some of their prior points in other LARPs into Quest (with COS Board approval), starting with a maximum of 100 skill points and 30 Talons (copper pieces). These players have several events to adjust to the rules system before their characters "solidify." After this time, they are subject to the conditions below for "more than 100 skill point" character changes.

Players with more than 100 skill points (Minor):
Any player may change ONE Skill or Spell per year without penalty.

Players with more than 100 skill points (Major):
Players with more than 100 skill points that wish to change more than ONE Skill or Spell per year run into slightly more complications. If a player changes more than a single skill or spell, this is considered a major rules change and must follow a series of steps:

STEP 1: Determine your total weath from the copper total on your sheet, copper spent on skills and levels, scrolls in spellbooks, etc.

STEP 2: Halve your total skill points. This is now your current (temporary) skill point total and determines your level restrictions. These points are now used to create your character, provided you have enough copper. Any spells must be bought for your spellbook as well, but only to the level spellcaster that you have and if you have enough mana (i.e. a 7th level caster can only buy up to 7th level scrolls in a list if he has 43 unspent mana to assign) and only from Chapter 6 of the COS Quest Rulebook.

STEP 3: For each COSQUEST event THAT YOU PRE-REGISTER or ATTEND, you will get "back" 50 points (plus the event points) up to your ACTUAL skill point total. i.e. 52 points for a one-day, 54 points for a weekend, etc. Also, after the initial character change, you can only purchase up to 7th level spells, provided you have the money and unassigned mana. All higher spells must be found "in-game."

Rules Changes:
Any Skill or Spell that the Rules Committee changes for the rules of COSQUEST for the fluidity and expansion of the game will not count towards these restrictions and can be dropped without penalty.
