CHARACTER PROGRESSION

LEVELING UP: PROGRESSION AND EXPERIENCE POINTS
Players gain 1-5 XP per Adventuring session.
Players need 5 XP to advance to level 2. 
Players need 10 XP to advance to levels 3-5. 
Players need 20 XP for every level 6 and above. 
XP Total resets to 0 after each Level gain. 
At each level advance the Character gains 1 Skill or 1 Spell.
The GM will tell the PC which Skills or Spells are Available. 
Note: It is possible to learn extra Skills/Spells without 
going up a level at the GM's discretion. 
The GM may also require the Character to achieve a Milestone to Advance 
in addition to the XP. Milestones can include: 
--Defeating a Major Foe
--Completing a Quest
--Defeating a Monster Singlehandedly
--Winning a Duel
--Training under a Master
--Taking time to Train or Study
--Stealing a Relic
--Studying at a Dojo, Academy, or University
--Destroying a Place of Evil
--Building a Temple or Workshop
--Leading an Army in Battle
The GM can take away XP if necessary for bad behaviors such as 
cheating or blurting things out. 


------------------------------------------------------------------------------


MULTI-CLASSING
If a Character has accumulated most of the Skills described in a class 
description, he can legitimately consider himself to be a member of that 
profession. However his Social Class, Culture, and Reputation might not 
warrant it. For example a Knight might eventually acquire most of the 
skills of a Noble and later those of a General. 
To learn Secondary Spellcasting requires at least 2 years with a Master. 
To learn Primary Spellcasting requires at least 5 years with a Master.  


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


STATUS AND RULERSHIP
As Characters level up and become more powerful, their 
expectations and that of those around them change.
Humans (and their Ilk) are Social Animals. 
They progress from Adventurers to Rulers. 
The path is different based on the Characters self 
Image and the perceptions of others. 
A Variety of Progression Tables and explanations are 
provided below. 


--------------------------------------------------------------------------


FIGHTER CLASS PROGRESSION PATH
This would primarily apply to Warriors, Cavaliers, Nobles, 
Paladins, Templars, Holy Warriors, Highlanders, Commanders, 
Champions, Avengers, Battle Masters, Samurai, and Soldiers. 
Also Rangers who want to settle down. 
Duelists and Martial artists can also go this Route. 
Rogue types and even Merchants seeking Noble Prestige as well 
can occasionally buy their way in depending on the culture. 
By 7th level these Adventuring types usually have acquired enough 
Money to buy into the aristocracy. Or through their reputation 
Alone they may be granted A Knighthood. This includes a 
Manor House (Tiny Castle) overseeing a Village of around 
300 people that is 6-9 Miles square. By 11th Level 
He should be able to buy or be rewarded the Title of Count. 
The Count controls a County which is roughly 1 Map Hex. 
A Hex will be 30 Miles across (1 Days Travel) and will contain
200 Villages, 1 Castle, and 45% chance of a Town or 5% of a City. 
He will control The Villages and Castle, but not the bigger 
Settlements. They will have their Own Laws and Charters.
Each Village (or Manor) will provide One Knight and Ten Fighting 
Men that can be mustered. A County Contains 60,000 Villagers. 
By 14th Level the Character will have the Title of Duke and Control 
a Duchy. A Duchy is composed of 2 to 6 Counties. 
At 17th Level our Fighter will have battled and intrigued with 
The other Dukes enough to Grasp the Title of King, Supreme 
Ruler of the Land. A Small Kingdom will have from 5 to 33 Hexes.

BARBARIAN CLASS PROGRESSION PATH
Primarily for Barbarians, Vikings, Nomads, Amazons, and Tribal Warrior Types.
Also works for Shamans and other primitive Casters.  
A more primitive social structure than that of the 
Feudal system the Fighter types are stuck with. 
Title and power have to be fought for, either Combat between 
Leaders or Ritual Tribal Warfare. Otherwise the pattern is similar. 
Barbarian Empires are called Confederations.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------


ROGUE CLASS PROGRESSION PATH
Primarily for Rogues, Thieves, Assassins, and other 
Criminal underworld figures. Sometimes they can wrangle 
Themselves into the Noble Fighter or Courtesan paths, but if 
They want to keep their freedom and stick to the shadows this 
Is their Fate. Note that they don’t actually own the Land, rather 
This is the extent of their influence and dealings. The Title of 
Guild Master is often replaced with more colorful titles such as 
The King of Thieves. Rogues that operate in the Countryside are 
Referred to as Bandits. If Bandits become powerful enough they 
May oust a local Count and take his place.

GOOD CASTER CLASS PROGRESSION PATH
Primarily for Mages of Good or Neutral Alignments. 
Note that as Casters increase in level they accumulate 
Marks, Mutations, and Madness from their Spell Lists and 
Mishaps. They become increasingly less human and concerned 
With the affairs of Men. At the same time they are often shunned 
By normal men who fear their odd appearance and sorcerers Ways. 
Many Magic Users at Tenth Level and beyond have 
Achieved some form of Ascension where they have become 
Immortal Dwellers on other Planes of Existence. They have 
Become Liches, or Dragons, or Demigods. However, some will 
Leave their mark on Human Lands as the Table depicts. Any Given 
Mage might not build any such structures but they certainly 
Could if they wanted to. Note there do exist Mageocracies where 
It is the Mages who are the Nobles. In this case, their progression 
In that society would more closely match that of a Fighter.

EVIL CASTER CLASS PROGRESSION PATH
Primarily for Mages or Priests of Evil or Chaotic Alignment. 
These Individuals are usually very interested in throwing 
Their weight around. They will raise armies of foul 
Creatures and terrorize all with their Mighty Magics. 
They will go on sprees of Conquest and Destruction. 
At Empire Scales they are referred to as a Scourge of 
A Greater Realm. They are a threat to every territory 
they Border.

Primarily for Good, Lawful, or Neutral Priests. 
Sometimes Paladins, Templars, and Holy Warriors as well.

Patron. This is usually by building temples and churches  
In new lands and converting the unbelievers. Often 
(75%) They don’t own the Land but they do influence it 
Heavily and may impose tithes and other dues on their 
Adherents and any infidels within range. At Empire 
Scales it is the Pope that presides over the Universal Church.
Note that in a Theocracy the Clergy are also the Nobles so 
a Priest (Evil Priests too) Could take the Fighter Path in 
that situation.
