	~~'''Leveling~~ up, Creating/Improving a Metaphor, and ~~Improving~~ an Attribute'''.		• [[Level\|Levelling]] up,
			• Creating/Improving a [[Metaphor]], and
			• Increasing an [[Attribute]] score.

			Every Experience point spent produces a '''Level Point''', these are used to trigger Level-ups for a character.

	==Level Up==		==Level Up==
	Players can increase the character's Level by ~~spending~~ an amount of ~~experience~~ points ~~indicated by~~ the ~~Game-Master or~~ [[~~Character Sheet~~]]. this many experience points increments the character's <code>'''Level / Limit'''</code> by 1 and may grant a number of Attributes along with them. The cost to level up again may increase depending on the character's <code>'''EXP to Level Increment'''</code> parameter.		Players can increase the character's Level by consuming an amount of Level Points. The points needed can be found on the [[Level]] article.

	==Metaphor Management==		==Metaphor Management==
	~~A player may~~ create a Metaphor ~~for~~ a ~~character at +~~1 ~~for 1 experience point if permitted. Improving~~ a ~~Metaphor costs an amount~~ of ~~experience~~ equal to the ~~Metaphor~~'s ''~~'current value~~ plus 1'''. ~~Each time~~ a ~~Metaphor's Ability value improves~~, the ~~character can have an additional Sub-Ability in that~~ Metaphor, or ~~improve~~ an ~~existing one~~.		'''Improving Metaphors'''
			Metaphor ranks can be increased by spending experience. The cost in XP is usually:
			'''[ Rank + 1 ]'''

			Metaphor Component Ranks can also be improved and gained by spending XP. Their costs and details can be found in the [[Metaphor]] article.

			'''Creating Metaphors'''
			The cost to create a new Metaphor is slightly different. It requires either a '''Training Point''' plus 1 XP, or spend a number of Experience points equal to the '''number of Metaphors owned plus one'''. As a bonus, the created Metaphor comes with one free Metaphor component rank.

			<small>"The player has six Metaphors and wants to create a seventh, they would need to either spend 1 Training and Experience point, or spend 7 XP to make up the difference. The created Metaphor will be +1 rank with an extra Metaphor component attached." ''</small>

'''<code><big>Experience Points</big></code>''' represent the currency that Players can use to improve their characters to progress their '''Levels''' and [[Metaphor|Metaphors]]. Experience (EXP, XP) is earned through play, as determined by the Game-Master and the guidelines written in this article. While most games should give and use Experience, the Game-Master may choose a different way of handling character progression, so keep this mind when joining games.

==Using Experience==
There are typically three ways to spend Experience to progress a character:
'''Leveling up, Creating/Improving a Metaphor, and Improving an Attribute'''.

===Level Up===
To Level a character up with Experience, observe the [[Character Sheet|XP to Lv]] value on the character sheet, spending this many experience points increments the character's <code>'''Level / Limit'''</code> by 1 and may grant a number of Attributes along with them. The cost to level up again may increase depending on the character's <code>'''EXP to Level Increment'''</code> parameter.

===Metaphor Management===
If permitted, a player may create a Metaphor for a character at +1 for 1 experience point. To improve a Metaphor to it's next value, spend an amount of experience equal to the Metaphor's '''current value plus 1'''.

ex. A Metaphor at +3 costs 4 experience to improve it to +4.

===Improve Attribute===
Providing the character has at least one Attribute-UP opportunity (Points Remaining (Left)), the player can spend an amount of experience points next to the Attribute they wish to improve as indicate on the sheet. (Manual calculation is identical to improving Metaphors, only using the Attribute's current modifier).

Do note, you '''can't''' improve an Attribute modifier to be '''higher''' than the character's '''current level'''. So an Attribute at 3 when the character is Level 2, can't be improved at this time.

==Experience Point Reward Guide==
Typically, characters would get experience points based on these events and conditions. But remember the Game-Master decides what experience to give and by how much, only take this guide as the potential ways to obtain experience.

'''Experience Reward examples'''
• 1 XP for every hour played in a session, you may choose to round up to the next hour if necessary.
• 1 XP for each ‘story beat’ completed. Like a scene, an important conversation, entering a new area…etc
• 1 to 5 XP for combat encounters based on difficulty, Trivial fights should give 1, then 5 for epic and dangerous fights.
• Small amount of XP for outstanding roleplay and exploring additional content. Could also be used to incentivize taking risks.
• Moderate amount of experience for completing a chapter, quest, scenario…etc.
