Advancement

As game time passes, you may feel the need to beef up your character. It also makes perfect sense in-game — a soldier would spend time working out to bolster his Muscle, a monk spends his life attempting to refine his Self-Control.

Expoints

The previous chapter explained that characters progress through the story and gain experience, represented in this game as Expoints.

Your character sheet has an entry for Expoints Earned and Expoints Spent. Add the Expoints awarded to you by the GM to the Expoints Earned box at the end of every session. Once you’ve decided how to invest your Expoints, add them to the Expoints Spent box and revel in your newfound abilities.
