Choose and Record Lifepath Milestones
Each Lifepath presents a list of Milestones that can be bought with XP.
Early on in character generation you worked out the Experience Level your Dragon has in each Lifepath that he has been on. You can now spend that XP on different Milestones.
You can buy any Lifepath Milestone that you have sufficient XP for. Note though that only XP from a given Lifepath can be spent on that Lifepath's milestones. For example, only Warmaster XP can be spent on Warmaster Milestones.
Some Milestones have prerequisites which must be met before they are purchased.
Milestones are of various types.
Lifepath Sphere Variations
These Milestones give a bonus to your dice pool for certain tasks, and sometimes a penalty for other tasks.
For example, the Sphere Variation Milestone "Atavism" enhances bestial traits (sensory perception, hunting, tooth and claw combat) but which weakens ability to deal with civilisation (high etiquette, academic study, tool use, etc.).
Talents
These represent particular tricks and knacks learnt on the Lifepath.
For example, the Talent Milestone "Peregrine Dive" allows a flying dragon to make a special diving attack against a lower altitude flying enemy, which is far more deadly than a normal attack.
Arcane Lore
Arcane Lore consists of pneuma-driven sorcerous spells that achieve magical effects. Taking an Arcane Lore Milestone gives your Dragon knowledge of how to cast that spell.
For example, the Arcane Lore Milestone "Firebreathing" allows a dragon to channel his pneuma into igniting his breath, exhaling a cloud of flame to toast his prey and enemies.
Lifepath-specific Milestones
Different Lifepaths can offer unique categories of Lifepaths.
For example, the Warmaster Lifepath has the Category Arms and Armour Training, which includes various Milestones that allow for the effective use of draconic weapons and armour.
