BDH: Chharacter Advancement

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.
