Progression Points (P-Points) are an open-ended progression mechanic for Player-Characters/Adventurers to improve their skills and acquire new abilities, completely independent of a ridged class-based structure. Progression points are granted in chunks through levelling up, and by piecemeal from the Game-Master when they deem it appropriate.

Adventurers gain P-Points every level. When an Adventurer reaches 5th level, and every 5th level onwards they gain an increased amount of P-Points per level. Refer to the chart for more information.

Progression Point gains by Size

When a Campaign is set to Scale by P-Points, instead of modifying the experience multiplier, the number of P-Points gained per level-up is affected instead. When the chart reads '1st to 4th' and so on, it is referring to the Adventurer's Character Level.

Progression Point Options

The following properties can be increased with P-Points. Cost is calculated AFTER acquiring a new upgrade, therefore the first time you spend P-Points on a property always counts itself 

Gain Universal / Archetype / Skill Perk
Gives an Adventurer a choice of a new Universal Perk, provided they meet the prerequisites.

Adventurers can only purchase Skill Perks as a Perk when their Skill is Rank 5 (100 Skill-Rating).

Adventurers can only purchase Racial Traits when their Potential skill-rank is maxed, and only from their own Race.

Cost: Number of Universal Perks owned * 2.

Increase Single Attribute
Increase one of an Adventurer's Attributes by 1. Each attribute is mutually-exclusive for calculating P-Point cost calculations.

Cost: Times specific attribute has increased prior * 5.
Limitations: The Base Progression-Point Cost to increase an Adventurer's attributes cannot be lowered beyond 2.

Gain Skill Points x25
Gives the Adventurer 25 Skill points per redemption.

Adventurers are still subject to Skill point caps based on Character level.

All Skill-points must be assigned to skills upon redemption, no Skill-points can be left unassigned after redemption. 

Cost: Number of times 'Skill Points x25' deemed * 2

Acquire Archetype
The Adventurer can select one more Archetype and stacks the benefits of that Archetype with their own.

Racial and Universal Archetypes are mutually exclusive to one another for determining P-Point cost.

An Adventurer can only have Two Universal and Racial Archetypes maximum, and three Archetypes of any origin.

When Archetypes grant a Skill-Focus already in possession, they will instead gain a +10 Skill-Rating bonus for the overlapping focus.

Cost: Number of extra Archetypes the Adventurer acquires * 15

Fortune: Currency
Adventurer 'finds' or otherwise obtains an amount of a specific Currency based on their level and every time they level up. If the Adventurer's base size is greater than 1: The currency is multiplied by the Adventurer's Size-Rating. This option is available at the GM's discretion.

Cost: Number of times [Fortune: Currency] has been acquired * 2.

Effect: Adventurer gains 5 units of a specific currency per Character level. If this option was taken after 1st level, retroactively gain currency for missed levels. When the Adventurer levels up, they gain the appropriate amount of currency (when the situation allows it).

Max-Level only

The option(s) below can only be selected when the Adventurer is at 20th level (or whichever is the maximum level): 

Increase HP / Meta-Points
An Adventurer who has reached Max-Level but cannot afford any other upgrades can instead increase their health points or Meta-Points used by special abilities and powers. This option can only be selected when no other P-Point upgrade can be purchased.

Cost: 1 (Only when no other Progression-Point option can be purchased)

Effect: Increases the Adventurer's Maximum Health, or Meta-points by 1. If the Adventurer's Size-Rating is greater than 1: Bonus is multiplied by their Size-Rating.
