Character Advancement (Elemental Powers)

Advancing as a character is a fundamental part of your growth and progression, representing accrued knowledge, lived experiences, and battles fought and won (or lost).

How to Level Up
To level up, there are two routes depending on your referee: experience or milestones. Experience is typically earned by completing missions or winning combats or tournaments; milestones are typically earned by accomplishing acts that advances one’s cause, such as defeating a bandit chief, unraveling a mafia, or winning battles in a war.

The expected maximum level of any character is 10; although it is possible for characters to go beyond this limit, it is not common and should be done with caution.

Experience
Experience (or XP) is an abstracted measurement of your character's accumulated knowledge, moments, and training over time.

Your character starts at level 1 with 0 XP. To level up, you must gain 15 XP.

While a daunting number, you may find it surprisingly simple to level up,

Gaining Experience
You gain experience progressively and consistently. The following are some of the ways to:


 * You gain 1 XP at the end of every combat you partake in.
 * You gain 1 XP at the end of every combat you win.

This list is by no means exhaustive, and you and your group are encouraged to think of new ways to gain experience.

Milestone
Milestone is an alternative way to level up. Milestones track your accomplishments and achievements relative to your current strength, and uses those to measure your progress. Examples of milestones are defeating a bandit chief, unraveling a mafia, or winning battles in a war.
