Joe Zantek What about stats? Just re-do the stats from the new gimmick? What happens to your previous advance choices?

p. 47-48 of the book cover this in detail! The basics:
– keep your Stats
– keep every Move you’ve purchased with Advances and Custom Moves
– lose the automatic Moves for the old Gimmick and gain the automatic Moves for the new Gimmick
– trade the first Moves you selected when you made the original character for Gimmick Moves from the new Gimmick one-for-one (including keeping all those Moves as well, if you want)
– take -1 Heat with everyone
– take -1 Audience
– pick your new Role (or whether you’re coming back in an Advanced Role) and make the Heat adjustment
