===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.

Level refers to Character Level, and it forms the basis of a character's power scaling, as well as a means of gaining and improving Attribute scores. Levels are also important for another mechanic called a Progression, which can be used to unlock and improve traits and powers specific to a character in ways Metaphors or Attributes can't.

The rewards given to a character through leveling up can change depending on whether they have a Progression enabled, a character without a Progression should probably lean towards gaining more Attribute points to make up for a lack of options opening up through Progression.

Increasing Character Level (Level-Up)

When a character levels up, their level increases by one. Levels can only be gained incrementally, so one would have to become Level 2 before they can become Level 3 and so on. The amount of Experience points required to level up is determined by the Game-Master, by default it would be 8 experience at 1st level and then an additional +1 experience each level afterwards.

Level-Ups grant a few benefits: Attribute Point(s), Attribute Training Opportunities, and unlocking more of a character's Progressions.

Attribute Point(s)

After a Level-Up, characters can assign an amount of Attribute Point(s) to any of their six Attributes, which in turn can improve their Core Values. Characters get +1 Attribute points if they have one or more Progressions, else they would get +2 per level instead.

Whichever Attribute the player wishes to assign to a character, they can't choose an Attribute if its value would exceed their character's level. Also, if the character gets two or more Attribute points per level, they can only improve an Attribute by one point each per level.

Attribute Training Opportunity (ATO)

ATOs are the number of times a character can increase an Attribute score by one by spending an appropriate amount of experience points. Usually the XP cost is equal to the current Attribute value + 1, and the opportunities given is double the character's level.

Regardless of how much XP a character has, or the opportunities remaining, the player can't improve an Attribute to be higher than the character's level.

Level Progression

A Progression is a list of features a character can unlock as they gain levels. For more information, read the Progression article.
