	A <code>[[Progression]]</code> is a '''list of features''' ~~with required minimum levels to access. Some features could also scale based on the character's level, much like the bonus component of a [[Metaphor]]. that~~ a character ~~would have access to whenever they reach the appropriate level, and such features may improve by using the character's level as a modifier. Multiple Progressions~~ can ~~apply based on the character's species/race, their class/role, or some other significant aspect that can react well to a character's level increasing.~~		A <code>'''Progression'''</code> is a '''list of features''' a character can unlock as they gain levels. For more information, read the [[Progression]] article.

	~~===Creating a Progression===~~
	~~To create a Progression, you first have to determine what '''aspect''' of a character is being progressed.~~

	If the Progression is about a character's Racial Traits and Abilities, then that Progression would unlock features and bonuses based on their species/race. If the Progression is about their base class or profession, then that Progression would unlock ~~class features based on their level.~~

	Each Feature must have '''Minimum-Level''', so that the character must be '''that level or higher''' in order to benefit from, or access the feature. Optionally, each feature can use the Character's Level as ~~a '''modifier''', so that it can increase as the character's level increases~~.

	~~Features '''do not''' have a fixed level to acquire them, nor are restricted to just one feature per level. Meaning '''multiple features''' can unlock on a specific level~~, ~~or the player must '''pick one of multiple features''' could be acquired at a level, and choose other options further along~~ the Progression~~. A Progression will clearly explain what features or choices a player can take for any given level~~.
