Player Character Leveling

Currently The Foregone Trail does not have a specific XP or explicit leveling pattern. In general player characters should level up after the completion of a significant chunk of story but this can vary depending on the intended length of the campaign. A one-shot campaign may give players a single leveling opportunity or one after each encounter, a moderate duration campaign planned for 1-3 months may allow characters to level after each session and a long-term campaign may level players only after the completion of significant story arcs.

Upon gaining a level, each character will have 5 skill points available to increase their skills or add new ones. This is done in conjunction with their class guide as classes may gain skills for free or at a discount at various levels. Characters may only select skills available to them from their class, background, group affiliations or training from an in-game non-player character.

Skills Points can be used as follows:

• 1 Skill Points: Untrained upgraded to Low
• 2 Skill Points: Low to Mid
• 3 Skill Points: Mid to High
• 5 Skill Points High to Expert
