Can I start with multiple dots in a merit?

Question

I'm fairly certain starting merits aren't bought sequentially:

Merit dots must be purchased sequentially with experience points. You have to buy • and then •• before your character can have ••• or more.

Conversely I assume when not spending experience points, you can jump to ••• if you spend three points.

Is this correct?

I'm mainly asking about the Professional Training merit, as it seems off for it not to be the case. BUt I figured it holds for everything. — AncientSwordRage, Commented Mar 31, 2014 at 20:54

Not as you wrote it, but yes.

You can devote three Merit dots at character creation to a scaled merit like Professional Training.

\$\begingroup\$ @Pureferret Oh, I figured. But points and dots (and now, with GMC, beats and experiences) all mean different things. Just wanted to be clear. \$\endgroup\$
