‎Minimum Advances (Floor)

@@ Line 16: / Line 16: @@
 In the spirit of fairness, there is a "floor" of minimum Advances for all characters. This includes starting characters. The floor for this campaign is 6 less than the Advances of the most experienced character. If your character is below the floor, then you automatically receive Advances until you reach the floor. (You continue earning Advances based on sessions. The floor doesn't reset that.)
-The current floor is '''12 Advances.''' This is in addition to the 2 Hindrance points you receive during character creation, for free.
+The current floor is '''13 Advances.''' This is in addition to the 2 Hindrance points you receive during character creation, for free.
 (This floor is a recommended rule for West Marches games.)

 * Mobile Shiltrom. REQUIREMENTS: Novice, Size 2, Fighting d6+, Notice d8+. For any person smaller in size than the character within 5", the character may spend a Benny once per round to place himself in the way of any attack (Fighting, Shooting or Throwing) against that target. All Fighting rolls are then made against his Parry, and he suffers the effect of any successful attacks. This can be done at any time, regardless of the bodyguard’s Initiative, and counts as a free action; any other actions must be taken on his own initiative card
 * Power Armor Owner. REQUIREMENTS: Novice. A character owns a suit of power armor. The suit must have a total cost of $100K or less, including any modifications (Negative Qualities can be chosen). The suit can be stock, stock with customization, or custom from scratch. The suit can be further customized, especially via Wheels.
