Below is a sample character sheet you will find in the Dominions of Darkness HUD. This sheet shows a Human Character, but you may also select Gifted Humans, Hunters, Ghouls, Apex Kinfolk, Vampires or Garou (Werewolves.)
All Character Classes have the option of selecting from the general Abilities & Skills section that appears right beneath your Character's Name. Any Special Abilities will appear beneath this section. Since Humans do not have any Special Abilities, the section on this page is blank.
Selecting a dot in any ability will turn it black. If purchasing the dot affects the Buff/Modifier, it will show in the Buff Box next to the skill. The more points you purchase, the higher the Buff. Buffs help increase your chance of being successful when using the ability. Some Abilities can also modify other aspects of gameplay, such as Combat Skills and Attack Modifiers.
During Character Creation, and when using earned XP (Experience Points) to purchase additional dots in your skills, the Attack Modifiers will change, allowing you to hone certain Combat Skills by purchasing the Abilities that increase their buffs.
