	After a character has made several advances in skills, either through experience or training, it is often hard to assess the ~~characterâs~~ actual experience status vis a vis other characters. If Vince has made every experience roll and has a total of +30 in advances in various skills, and Rawn has been in the same party, gone through the same adventures, but his player has not made the rolls, there is a clear difference in their abilities, but there is no real way to track-at-a-glance which has profited most from experience and training and where a GM may need to make adjustments to keep the characters relatively even.

The answer to this question is Character Points. Every time a character makes a skill advance or otherwise gets better, add the appropriate # of points to the character’s starting Character Points.

	:Example: ''Gru was built with 100 character points. In the course of his first year of adventuring, he gains three increases in Mace, four in Sword, two in Climb, one in Jump, five in Sword Parry, and increases his IN from 7 to 8. This is a total of 15 Skill increases (each of which would have been a 1 point in Character Creation) and increasing the cost of his IN from -20 to -10. This is a total gain of 25 Character Points (Gru now looks like a character built with 125 Character points). ~~Gruâs~~ player changes his Character Creation Points from 100 to 125.''		:Example: ''Gru was built with 100 character points.

	:''Of course, the player should be making these increases in Creation Points as Gru gets the increases, to keep a running record of ~~Gruâs~~ steady progress and to be able to compare ~~Gruâs~~ abilities to his compatriots at any time.
