To collect the data below, I started with a "stock" Tremere character, which starts with this character sheet:

Strength 1	Charisma 1	Perception 2
Dexterity 1	Manipulation 1	Intelligence 1
Stamina 2	Appearance 1	Wits 2
Brawl 1	Firearms 1	Computer 1
Dodge 1	Melee 0	Finance 1
Intimidation 0	Security 0	Investigation 0
Subterfuge 0	Stealth 0	Scholarship 1
Auspex 1	Dominate 1	Thaumaturgy 2

Then, I played the game normally, completing every possible side quest for the maximum number of XP. I turned off the Auto Level feature until I saved up a few XP, took off my armor and dropped any occult items that affect the character's stats (like the Fae Charm), then flipped the autolevel feature on and off and made a note of the changes made to the character sheet. Here's the autolevel scheme:

Purchased	XP Cost	XP Spent
Melee 1	3	3
Dominate 2	5	8
Computer 2	3	11
Intimidation 1	3	14
Thaumaturgy 3	10	24
Intelligence 2	4	28
Charisma 2	4	32
Scholarship 2	3	35
Auspex 2	5	40
Strength 2	4	44
Melee 2	3	47
Dominate 3	10	57
Auspex 3	10	67
Intimidation 2	3	70
Intelligence 3	8	78
Charisma 3	8	87
Thaumaturgy 4	15	102
Wits 3	8	110
Computer 3	6	116
Dodge 2	3	119

Wits 5	16	294
Intimidate 4	9	303
Dominate 5	20	323
Intelligence 5	16	339
Auspex 5	20	359
Charisma 5	16	375
Perception 4	12	387
Dodge 3	6	393
Melee 5	12	405
Scholarship 5	12	417

***NOTE: Even if you finish every sidequest, you will probably not be able to get past this point on the autolevel scheme. However, you should have a few XP left for customization.

Here's my advice: Leave the auto-level scheme turned off at first. With your first 3 XP, buy Scholarship 2. Not only is it already on the auto-level scheme, but you can save a few XP by reading books, AND you'll be able to "Persuade" a few of the characters in Santa Monica to part with some money. Spend 3 XP to buy a dot in Security, and 4 XP to buy a dot in Dexterity.

If you learn as much as you can from books and NPCs, your character sheet will look something like this before your final encounter with the prince, not including any modifiers for armor or occult items. This sheet DOES reflect:

- One free dot in Dodge, learned from a book.
- One free dot in Stealth, learned from a book.
- Two free dot in Computers, learned from books.
- One free dot in Firearms, learned from a book.
- One free dot in Firearms, taught by Romero.
- One free dot in Brawl, taught by Nines.

Strength 3	Charisma 4	Perception 3
Dexterity 2	Manipulation 1	Intelligence 4
Stamina 1	Appearance 1	Wits 4
Brawl 2	Firearms 3	Computer 4
Dodge 2	Melee 3	Finance 1
Intimidation 3	Security 1	Investigation 0
Subterfuge 0	Stealth 1	Scholarship 4
Auspex 4	Dominate 4	Thaumaturgy 5

ANALYSIS: When it comes to combat, this character sucks at both brawling and with ranged weapons. With Dominate 4 and Thaumaturgy 5, you don't really need ranged weapons anyway because you have so many different ways to kill people at a distance with disciplines. This character is pretty good with melee weapons, though.

Socially, you can either Persuade or Intimidate people. The character is no good at seduction at all. Its Security and Stealth skills are poor, but it's really good at hacking, so you'll be able to bypass some locks simply by hacking a computer.
