Hello! New player!

Hey there. I'm new. Just made an account and everything. I was planning to come to this game like, two years ago, but scheduling conflicts got in the way.
Now, however, I have no more, and will be attending the June Event (Baring something happening between now and then, of course.)
I had a couple of questions. Well, one, really, for now. The rest will come later, I'm sure, after I finish re-reading the rules.
I'm planning on bringing a large group of new players (Somewhere around 8, I think, besides me). Will I be able to get the referal build for all of them, or even any of them, if I haven't played here yet?
Thanks!
Nathan Brown

Welcome!

To answer your question, yes, even brand new players can receive the referral build which is +2 build per person you bring to the game to PC.

Hope to see you soon

Oh? On the page, it says 1 build. That's even better!
Can that build be used at my first event, or does it have to be rolled over?

Any build available to your character at character creation can be spent prior to walking in. So yes you can spend it all.

Oh and welcome!

Wow, awesome.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm glad to be coming.

Coast Haven characters can buy the skill Tolerance. Can that be bought more than once, in addition to the racial they start with?
Also, do you earn build from service points on months you don't attend an event?

Racial skills can be purchased off of the Racial Skill List only once. So that being said, Coast Havener's start with Tolerance and can buy it once from the Racial Skill List as it appears there.

For any further purchase of those skills you would need to gain access to learning the skill from a profession list and purchase it at the Build cost on that profession list.

As to service point conversion I do not believe it converts if you do not attend. I could be wrong on this so I will touch base with the Character Card Officer who actually does the work of updating cards and find out for sure.
