Levels and Experience

Introduction:

Here in this guide I will be explaining to you, as simply as I can, how our leveling works.

It is a fairly simple process: You kill something, generally anything, and you gain experience. You can also spar with other players, train, and maybe even study. Simply perform any of these actions and you may contact a GM to confirm an amount of experience that you gained.

Of course not everything will give the same amount of experience points. A boar is not going to give you the same amount of experience as a giant would. Not in the least bit.

Information:

The measure of a character’s skill at arms, abilities and even his own profession is represented through levels. Levels are determined by the number of experience points (XP) a character has. Experience in turn is earned by facing challenges and overcoming them in the course of play. Higher-level characters have braved innumerable dangers and fought their way through many battles. These trials have made them even better suited to face further challenges as their increased skills, abilities and spells help them survive more and more difficult encounters. Progress through levels is measured by the experience points a character earns in the course of play. GMs award experience points for overcoming various challenges — perilous hazards, deadly creatures, puzzles, traps and other obstacles that present themselves to the players — as well as for good roleplaying and anything else GMs might find worthy of rewarding. By finding your character’s experience point total on the Table below, you can easily determine what level he is and how many experience points he needs to gain the next level.

A character’s total character level determines where he is on the experience point scale and how many experience points he will need to attain the next level. For characters with a single class, class level is the same as character level. For characters with more than one class, character level is the total of all of their class levels combined. For instance, a 7th-level warrior has a character level of 7. However, a 5th-level mage/3rd-level rogue has a character level of 8, the total of his rogue levels and his mage levels combined.

This basically means that depending on your total character level, the above example being 8, then that means that no matter what levels you have in any individual class the experience requirement to get to level 9 is still the same.

Players are allowed to bring their character's base class levels up to a total level of 40. However they still cannot exceed the current Character Level cap of 50.

That is the gist of the system. It is not as complicated as people make it out to be. The only thing that I will call for you guys to do is record your experience gains and how much experience you have on your character profiles.

THE ABOVE IS A REQUIREMENT. YOUR CHARACTER'S PROGRESSION WILL NOT BE VALID UNLESS YOU MAKE A CHARACTER PROFILE. PROFILES ARE -NOT- APPLICATIONS.

(Important!!: When you level up, you quite literally spend the experience you have acquired. Thus, your experience counter gets reset to 0.)

(((When you gain enough experience to level up you are able to choose which individual class levels up. For example if you are a 4th level warrior and a 2nd level mage and you get enough experience to level up then you are able to choose to either level warrior to 5 or mage to 3.)))

DISCLAIMER: THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE ENFORCE THE DND D20 MECHANICS. THE ONLY THING THAT WE CALL FOR YOU TO TAKE NOTE OF IS THAT YOU MUST BE OF CERTAIN LEVELS TO USE HIGHER LEVEL SPELLS AND ABILITIES.
