Editing Sorcerous Arts:Rules Modifications (section)

==Advancement==

Characters do not receive experience points for slaying monsters. Instead, each PC will get 100 experience points for each week in which their player makes a substantive post. Bonus awards of 50 or 100 experience points will be given out on a weekly basis for each of the following: profuse and excellent posting (4 or more quality posts during the week), doing something awesome or entertaining, doing something that moves the plot in an unforeseen direction, and doing neat and helpful metagame stuff such as finding or creating game related artwork.

In order to speed up the rate at which players see their investments in the game rewarded, '''characters will level up 1/5th of a level at a time'''. These increments will be spaced evenly for each level. Thus, starting characters at 5th level will gain an increment at 11,000 exp, 12,000 exp, 13,000 exp, 14,000 exp, and 15,000 exp, at which point they will have fully attained 6th level. The five increments are as follows:

*BAB and save increases
*Hit point increase (NOT the same thing as hit dice)
*Skill points
*Special class abilities, magic, and caster level
*Character level, hit dice, and feats and ability score increases from level

The first four increments may be taken in any order. The final increment (level, hit dice, &c.) ''must'' be taken last.
