>>7631576Lesser templates mostly get 10 free dots. They typically all work off of their parent splat's rules but replace their template section with something else. Some of them may also grant may also grant Merits for free. As well basically every single one of these gets access to a new set of Merits much like Major Templates do. Attached are the quick references for making a Vampire, a Ghoul, and a Dhampir. So you can see how it often works. Here is a break down. Most, if not all, of them will use Integrity over their parent splat's Morality, and will have Vice and Virtue instead of their Anchors. So you end up making them the same as you would a Mortal, but they get some extra Merit dots and then the stuff the template adds.
>DhampirThey get the Omen Sensitivity and Thief of Fate Merits, as well as Blood Sense that isn't a merit but works like the Unseen Sense Merit with some bonuses, and 10 dots of Merits.
>StigmaticThey get the Unseen Sense (God-Machine) Merit for free, a non-Merit version of Omen Sensitivity, and 10 dots of Merits.
>Demon-BloodedThey get the Unseen Sense (God-Machine) Merit for free, and 7 Merit dots.
>ImmortalsThey get the Endless Potency Merit for free, with its attribute depending on the type of Immortal you are, Eternals also start with the Relic Merit, and they 10 dots of Merits.
>Ghoul, and SlasherNo free Merits and 7 dots of Merits.
>Proximi, Fae-Touched, Wolf-Blooded, the AbsentNo free Merits and 10 dots of Merits.
"Micro" templates all work through Merits you purchase and don't effect chargen rules. So if you want to be a Atariya you need to get at least 1 dot of Damn Lucky, and then you can access all their merits. For 2e those are Atariya, Dreamers, Infected, Lost Boys, Plain, Psychic Vampires, and Skinthieves.
