User Guide

When a character gains a new level, he or she also receives an increase
to maximum Hit Points and Spell Points. What each specific character
gains depends on Class, Rank and attribute scores. At early levels (1–9),
characters receive 5 Skill Points to spend on advancing the levels of
skills they possess. This number increases by 1 every 5 levels thereafter
(6 at levels 10–19, 7 at levels 20–29, etc.).
CLASS RANKING
The party can receive special quests in the game called Promotion
Quests. Certain people that the party meets will be empowered to grant
Class Rank on characters of a particular character Class. Before they do
this, they will ask the party to prove its worth by completing a
Promotion Quest. Gaining the new Rank increases the number of Spell
Points and Hit Points a character receives per level. This will also allow
the character to learn new skills and to learn other skills at higher levels
of expertise.

EXPERIENCE POINTS AND LEVELING
As the game progresses, your characters gain more Spell Points and Hit
Points, and become better at the skills they possess through level
advancement. Characters gain Experience Points for overcoming
challenges, notably for killing enemies and for completing quests. When
your characters earn enough Experience Points, they qualify to train for
the next level at a Training Hall. You can see each character’s current
level and Experience Points on their Stats Screens. If the character is
ready to level, his or her Experience Points appear in a different colour
and the Experience bar to the right of the characters portrait will be full.
A character needs (Experience Points for Current Level) + (Current
Level x 1000) to move from one level to the next. For example, a
character needs the 3000 experience points for achieving level 3 plus
3000 more experience points for a total experience point value of 6000
to achieve level 4.
A character eligible to train must do so at a Training Hall. Training
Halls are located in towns throughout Chedian. They charge a fee for
their services, and most have a limit to how far they can train a character.
