Advancement Tables

I belive that the higher reputation you earn, the better you should be. This is what I liked about the AD&D system. 22nd-level PC is a lot faster, knows a lot more things, and has a better THAC0 than a 1st-level PC. So I made up these tables to give players bonuses as they advance in reputation. A bonus in any category can be used for any one action that belongs to that category. Be specific. For example, a +4 bonus to Physique can be directed to a +4 to attacking with a longsword, or manual labor, while a bonus to Intellect can use the +4 bonus for casting spells, or a +4 bonus for tracking. If a player devotes +6 or more to a certain action, then that becomes a Trump bonus rather than a point bonus. Some adventurers can get Double Trump bonuses, but if you feel a player is getting too powerful, you can adjust a score here and there. Points can be distributed at the Narrator or Players discretion. Therefore, a +4 bonus can be used for four +1 bonuses, two +2 bonuses, one +1 bonus and one +3 bonus, etc. The bonuses are cumulative, while the penalties are not.
