The character creation rules here are suited to companions and normal heroes. Players may find, however, that this doesn’t reflect very inexperienced or young characters. Courtney would be a perfect example of this. She’s still in school, hasn’t finished growing, and is very inexperienced when it comes to adventuring through time and space. But, she is brave and keen to help the Doctor in the most dangerous situations.

This trait costs 2 Character Points and 2 Skill Points. In return, the character’s maximum Story Point pool is increased by 3. These additional Story Points will help them to keep up with the more experienced character while reflecting their lack of skills.

This trait can be purchased additional times for even less experienced characters, though this will have to be approved by the Gamemaster. If, however, during the game the character’s skills and total Character Points increases through experience to the levels of a normal character, the character’s maximum Story Points are reduced to their normal level.
