heres the actual text from book 13:
"If you have successfully completed ... (Books 1-12), you can carry your
current scores of COMBAT SKILL and ENDURANCE points over to Book 13.
These scores may include Lore-circle bonuses."
So you have the option of re-rolling your stats OR keeping you original
ones + lore-circle bonuses.
"You may also benefit from the Disciplines that you've mastered (e.g.
Weaponmastery, Curing, and Psi-surge bonuses) ... You may also carry
over any Weapons and Backpack Items you had in your possession ...
However, only the following Special Items may be carried over"
While this part is open to interpretation, I believe it means you can
only do B if youve already done A (otherwise you would say "also, you
may" rather than "you may also").
Following my interpretation, you would have a choice of keeping all your
stats (including lore-circle bonuses), disciplines (and inherent
bonuses), weapons, backpack items and special items
OR
re-rolling new stats (and dropping all
bonuses/disciplines/weapons/items).
obviously you would only do this if you character with all their bonuses
was much weaker than a new character. The intent (I presume) is to level
out the playing field between a veteran player and a new player.
Using your example your character would be CS 30, EP 35 no items/bonuses
etc (or they could keep their old stats/bonuses/items and have an
effective CS of 45). Basically, unless youre missing the sommerswerd or
havent read a significant number of magna-kai books youre going to be
keeping your stats and still being better off ... why on earth would you
want to want to re-roll stats and keep all your old bonuses? or even add
10 CS and keep all your old bonuses? seems like cheating to me.
