The creation of a character in "C&S1" is complex and may require several hours in the company of a Game Master, but the characters have their creation story, an experience that gives them a head start in creating a back-story for the character and assisting the player's role. For this reason, it is common to have a few alternate or backup characters ready, as creating a character is not a matter of a few dice and a few minutes. This certainly influenced the game to campaigns in which the mortality figures are considerably lower than in other role-playing, which has the effect of requiring a lot of attention in preparation of "C&S" scenarios and difficulty level by the Game Master, especially as returning from the dead is not common in "C&S", compared to other games like "D&D".
