Experience and Level Points

When sessions (games) end, you gain Experience Points (XP). Experience is used to gain levels!

Whenever you have more than 10 Experience Points, subtract 10 from your Current XP and add 1 to your LP Available.

Level Points are accumulated until you spend them.

Spending Level Points

To expend your points and upgrade yourself, subtract any LP spent from LP Available and add it to LP Assigned.

You spend your Level Points to improve your character as follows:

Cost (LP) To Improve Maximums
1 To add a perk to a move 3 perks per advanced move. 1 for Discern Realities.
2 To add a move to your character6 advanced moves, or 5 moves and 1 magic discipline
2 Unarmed attack +1 1d4+4
3 Might, Speed, Charm or Wits by 1 The sum of your Stats must not exceed 4. No single stat may exceed 2. Only one stat may be -1.
5 HP By 1 HP must not exceed 30 or drop below 20.
10 Attack base by 1 +2
10 Defense base by 1 +2
10 Max Items by 1 +2

Sacrifice

You can sacrifice (downgrade) any upgrade for an equivalent number of points.

With the exception reducing a single stat to -1, you may not sacrifice anything below it's starting value. (You cannot have less than 20 HP, get rid of a starting move, reduce your inventory below 5, etc.)

If a move is sacrificed, any related perks are considered sacrificed as well, and are converted back to LP.

For example:

Sparkle Tits wants to earn a move faster. She has 23 HP, 1 Might, 0 Speed, 0 Charm, 1 Wisdom, and 7 LP.

To gain 2LP Sparkle Tits could sacrifice:

  • 1 Wisdom for 3 LP
  • 1 Move for 2 LP, and all of it's perks for 1 LP each.
  • 2 Perks for 2 LP
  • 1 HP for 5 LP

Ascension

What? You actually managed to max out everything?

Well, it's possible to go further, but the costs are greatly increased. You'll probably die before you finish it all.

Ascension is only available if you have no other normal upgrades available.

Cost (LP) To Improve Maximums
20 Might, Speed, Charm or WitsThe sum of your Stats may not exceed 6. No individual stat may exceed 2.
30 HP by 1 HP must not exceed 40
40 Attack base by 1 +4
40 Defence base by 1 +4
100 To add another move to your build. Two additional moves.
