Story Awards

Story Awards generally consist of a lump sum of Experience that is awarded when the PCs complete a story goal. Completing a story goal usually spans multiple story scenes and requires them to overcome multiple obstacles (such as combat, social encounters, puzzles, hazards, etc). In addition to Experience, the completion of these story goals may also grant Karma, Destiny Points, Treasure, or Social Events (see Rewards for more details).

Goals that grant Story Awards are typically divided into one of two categories: Major Milestones and Minor Milestones. Major Milestones are significant accomplishments within the story: saving the princess, defeating the villain, stopping the evil, etc. Minor Milestones are the completion of side quests or minor goals within the story: delivering the secret documents, collecting the rare mushrooms, or finding the shepherd's lost sheep.

Minor Story Awards typically grant about 200 Experience, while Major Story Awards grant about 500.
