Advancement

You have a set list of options for upgrading your character. You can choose any two options with unmarked slots. Some options have multiple slots, meaning they can be chosen more than once. When you choose your advancement, mark the appropriate slot. Once all of an option’s slots have been marked, you can’t take that option again.

• When you choose to increase two unmarked character traits and mark them: Choose two unmarked character traits and gain a permanent +1 bonus to them. You can’t increase these stats again until the next tier (when your level achievement allows you to clear those marks).
• When you choose to permanently add 1 or more Hit Point slots: Darken the outline of the next rectangle in the Hit Point section of your character sheet in pen or permanent marker.
• When you choose to permanently add 1 or more Stress slots: Darken the outline of the next rectangle in the Stress section of your character sheet in pen or permanent marker.
• When you choose to increase an Experience: Choose an Experience on your character sheet and gain a permanent +1 bonus to it.
• Take an additional domain card of your level or lower from a domain you have access to: You can choose an additional domain card from your class’s domains at your level or lower. If you have multiclassed, select a card from your chosen domain at no higher than half your level.
• When you choose to increase your Evasion: Gain a permanent +1 bonus to your Evasion.
• When you choose to take an upgraded subclass card: Take the next card for your subclass. If you have only the foundation card, take a specialization. If you have a specialization already, take a mastery. You’ll also cross out the option to multiclass when you subsequently level up in that tier.
• When you choose to increase your Proficiency: Fill in one of the open circles in the “Proficiency” section of your character sheet, then increase your weapon’s number of damage dice by 1 (for example, from 2d6 to 3d6). You’ll see a black box around the level-up slots. That is because increasing your Proficiency requires you to mark both level-up slots in order to take it as an option.
• When you choose to multiclass: You can take certain features and domain cards from another class. You’ll see a black box around the level-up slots. That is because multiclassing requires you to mark both level-up slots in order to take it as an option. See the “Multiclassing” section for details.
