Fundamentals:Gaining Levels

To attain a higher level, you must earn a minimum of 2000 Experience Points. Additionally, characters with exceptionally high attribute scores or a character’s secondary class can increase the amount of experience needed to gain level. This will be discussed in more detail later. While experience is granted for a number of aspects of the game, the most common vessel for gaining experience is combat. The amount of experience received in combat depends on the number, type and level of creatures that you are fighting. Defeating a standard creature of equal level grants 200 experience points. This number is modified depending on the difference in level between the player characters and their opponent, according to the table to the right. Creatures also can be worth multiples of this standard experience value, based on their abilities and overall defeat difficulty.
