What's the starting Exhaustion score for PCs in a new game?

Question

I've looked through the manual three times for starting Exhaustion scores and can't locate anything definitive. I've found a few places that might imply Exhaustion starts at 0, but nothing that comes right out and says so.

What Exhaustion score do PCs start with at the beginning of a DRYH campaign?

Answer 1

While I agree it's not clear in the manual, player's are supposed to normally start out with 0 exhaustion, as evidenced here, in the demo kit:

Start all the protagonists off at an Exhaustion level of 2, rather than zero.
