Editing BDH: Character Advancement

__NOTOC__
[[File:Gogglegirl0005.png|250px|right]]
This game will be broken up into Episodes with each episode focusing on a specific job that unfolds in a series of scenes that roughly map to an arc of (usually) five acts. Characters receive 2 xp for each job they complete (successfully or otherwise).

Experience can be spent to advance characters as follows:

==Tier 0==
Sometimes the game experience doesn't quite match with chargen expectations. Tier 0 adjustments exist specifically to deal with those sorts of tweaks and changes without leveling an XP tax for the privilege. Tier 0 adjustments are only available during and immediately following a character's first episode in the game. 

Rather than try to list these out as per the regular tiers, these will be handled case by case, preferably via DM if players are comfortable with that.

==Tier 1==
*Change a Knack: 1 Experience
*Change a Distinction: 1 Experience If the distinction had active SFX, activate new SFX appropriate to the new Distinction. There should always be good fictional support to change a distinction outside of Tier 0 changes.
*Swap out one (1) Distinction SFX for another: '''1 Experience''' ''May not swap out Hinder''
*Swap out one (1) Signature Asset SFX for another: '''1 Experience'''
*Add a new [[file:d6a.png|24px|d6]] Knack to a [[file:d6a.png|24px|d6]] or higher Role: '''1 Experience'''
*Convert a scene asset from the episode into a [[File:d6a.png|24px]] Signature Asset: '''1 Experience'''

Custom SFX guidelines may be found in the Prime handbook on pages '''61-63''' (excepting limits). Do not use the guidelines for distinctions found on pages '''191-213'''.
