0 karma peeps and spec apps

[Hauwke]

So the last few days, I have been wondering: Just what can a person with 0 karma like myself actually get a successful spec app for?
Obviously im not getting a sorc. But how far would it extend?

In general, you can app 3 plus your current karma level and be considered for what you apply for, even at 0 karma.
At 0 karma that means you can special app desert elves, water and stone elementalists, and half-giants.

When you submit a special application you get a number of 'character generation points' (CGP) towards building a concept equal to your karma level +3.

So for a 0 karma player, that's 3. CGP is spent on: karma-restricted extended subguilds, karma-restricted races, karma-restricted guilds and skill bumps. It is also spent cumulatively - so a desert-elf (1CGP) vivaduan (2CGP) is the same 'price' as a half-giant (3CGP).

So, here are some possible combinations for a 0 karma player:
~ A mundane human, elf, half-elf, dwarf with an extended subguild.
~ A mundane human, elf, half-elf, dwarf with 3 skill bumps.
~ A water or stone elementalist human, elf, half-elf, dwarf with 1 skill bump.
~ A mundane desert elf with 2 skill bumps.
~ A water or stone elementalist desert elf (in a tribe that accepts them).
~ A mundane half-giant.
