Level and Experience Points
Experience points (XP) is an artificial marker of life experience. As a character progresses in its life and adventures, it learns how better to avoid danger and take advantage of its best aspects. Similarly, level is is an artificial division or checkpoint on this journey. Often, a character will gain hit points (see below) and proficiency when it gains a level. Characters usually start with 0 xp at level one, and the GM awards xp for good role playing, achievements, and advancing the story..
| Building Kalor Kalor is starting at 1st level (0 xp), so her Proficiency Bonus is +2. |
