The way we spend our XP for advancements is changing!

Taken from our system book directly:

You can buy as many advancements as you can afford.

Tier 1 | [ 5-15 XP ]: This would be like a simple power up, single item, or minor increase in power. For spellcasters: This would be equivalent to 3 spells / 1 weakness when purchasing an advancement.

> EXAMPLE: True Form of the Realm

Tier 2 | [ 16-25 XP ]: This would be gaining more moderate powers, multiple minor powers in one, or a moderate increase in power. For spellcasters: This would be equivalent to 5 spells / 1 weakness when purchasing an advancement.

> EXAMPLE: Tyuki Gold's Advancements

Tier 3 | [ 26-35 XP ]: This would be gaining more powerful powers, multiple minor powers, or a major increase in power. For spellcasters: This would be equivalent to 6 spells / 1 weakness or more in one purchase, depending on complexity.

> EXAMPLE: Gravvy's 1st and 2nd Advancements

Tier 4 | [ 36-50 XP ]: This would be gaining very powerful powers, multiple major powers, or an incredibly vast increase in power. For spellcasters: This would be equivalent to 9 spells / 1 weakness or more in one purchase, depending on complexity.

> EXAMPLE: Katrina's Spellbook

Tier 5 | [ 50+ XP ]: This would be gaining nearly game breaking powers, many powerful powers in one, or increasing a power to astronomical limits. This tier could also be used to theoretically purchase multiple smaller tier advancements. For spellcasters: This would be equivalent to 12 spells / 1 weakness or more in one purchase, depending on complexity.

> EXAMPLE: Elena Vexus' 10th Advancement

> EXAMPLE: Kuma Magicka

Once you purchase an advancement, you cannot refund it.

Staff have every right to deny an advancement as well as assign a weakness if they feel that one is required.
Staff are at their discretion to increase or decrease cost of advancement, depending upon complexity and or inclusion of weaknesses.

And I know that some of you are going to be a might bit upset with how you've spent your XP in the past, but the best resolution is to just move forward and bite the losses for some of us that spent more XP than this new system would have had us spend. As we say, it is what it is. We are all dealing with it, myself included.

So moving forward, any new advancements purchased will follow this new rubric and judgement scale at staff's discretion. The advancements as examples may have prices that do not match the tier they are for - that is intentional due to our system's old advancement system that went up in tiered increments of 5.

That is all.

Happy RPing!
