Advancing Your Character
As you swore to the archmage on her deathbed, you finally open the rebuilt Tower of Sorcery to new students. Weary and stained with miles of travel across a postapocalyptic landscape, you and your companions break into a preserved nuclear power plant, still on standby but ready to hum back to life with some maintenance and care. Scarred with blaster fire, you and your starship's squadron destroy the last of the robot smuggling ring that has been haunting the border stars. Blood dripping from your axe, you put down the berserker king, exacting vengeance a generation overdue. A handy bit of detective work now complete, you and your team identify the serial killer terrorizing the city.
Experience points (XP) are rewards you gain for your character's accomplishments. You use XP to benefit and improve your character—avoid a bad roll, learn more skills, gain new abilities, and so on.
