EXPERIENCE
As your character survives in the hostile environments, and
succeeds at the tasks ahead, you will gain experience. In turn, expe-
rience will improve your character, increase your character level,
allowing you to spend points on skills, and eventually, pick a Perk.
Experience is rated in Experience Points (often abbreviated
XP). The more difficult the task you solve, or the more difficult the
critter you put down, the more experience points you earn.
When you achieve a set number of XP, you gain a level. When
you gain a character level, which is a generalized measure of how
much experience you have gained and how capable your character is,
you gain the following:
Additional Hit Points, equal to 1/3 Endurance
More Skill Points, equal to 5 + Intelligence x 2
(see page 5—22)
Every three levels, you gain one Perk (see page 5—23)
The maximum level a character can achieve is level 21. Here is
a list of the levels, and how much XP is required to gain that level.
