Advancement

#Characters #Rules

All characters who survive an adventure and return to civilization gain 1 experience point (XP) for each coin (c) worth of non-magic treasure recovered from remote, dangerous locations like dungeons. Treasure is evenly split evenly between all PCs who assisted and converted into XP (alternatively, see Carousing).

Converting Wealth

Coins are the universal silver currency of civilization (10 coins is the wage for a day unskilled labour). If you are using a pre-made dungeon from another RPG that uses copper, silver, electrum, gold, and platinum coins, then convert the total to gold coins and gain that much XP.

Levelling Up

Each time a character reaches the necessary XP threshold, the character will advance a level.

Each level unlocks the Special feature and also allows the player to reroll their PC’s HP maximum using one additional dice of their class. If the rolled total is not greater than their current maximum, add 1 to the current maximum.
XP does not reset.

Tip

The GM may optionally award extra XP to characters who excelled (e.g. single headedly defeated dangerous foes, saved the day with clever tactics) or less XP to characters who contributed little.
