Character Experience Guide

Procedure

The First and Second Sunday of every month, we process experience requests. You need to have your request in the day before Experience is processed(aka the saturday before) or your request will might not be handled.

• All PCs get 3.5 xp per week of active play starting with the date of their approval. - ST's need to Timestep character approvals.

•  All players are expected to actively roleplay in order to be able to spend their exp. If you spend most of your time OOC, not roleplaying with members of the game or not actively playing then more than likely your exp request will be denied. If you have a lengthy absence, some activity may be required before your xp is approved. 

• New PCs should expect to be in play for longer than one month before increasing stats above 3. Generally, 3 months is a good wait time, though this may be altered with exceptional justification. 
  
• Please note that you may not request more than one Attribute increase of the same category per request. (Ex: asking for 3 Str, 3 Dex, and 3 Sta is a No. Requesting Str 3, Cha 3 and Per 3 is more acceptable.) 
  
• One dot of Influence per request. More than a few dots of Influence will require a lot of justification as well as explanations as to how you are managing all of your Influence as well as everything else in your life. 
  
• Backgrounds can fluctuate and during the course of role-play may be lowered. In this case it will be up to the STs whether you receive a refund for XP spent. In general, circumstances beyond the PCs control will result in a refund. If you burn resources, blow off an ally, or refuse to do the things that made you famous, you will likely not be refunded your XP. 

• Allies: If you wish to increase your allies position or power you need to go through a ST. You will not be able to just request that your police ally is now Mayor or Chief of police. Your drug dealer would not be able to be raised to Capo of the Mafia. Please speak with a ST before you ask for a raise in their position. 

• Allies/Contacts/Totem: Can go over level 5, but will continue to get increasingly expensive. 
  

PC's Teaching PC's

If your PC is learning something from another PC, both PCs must mark this on their request thread or it won't be processed.
