Representing a character’s advantage, Merits are a system for acquiring substantial character advancements with earned experience - referred to as XP - separated into Minor and Major categories. Self-moderation is allowed for the vast majority Minor Merits, provided they are pursued in collaborative threads with another player. Major Merits require completing a Merit Story with a Storyteller or Lorekeeper.
Minor Merits
The first Minor Merit is free. Further Minor Merits cost 25 XP per Minor Merit beyond the first. 0, 25, 50, and so on. Minor Merits you do not start with must be acquired during some form of Collaborative Play with one or more other player characters.
Minor Merit List
- Unlocking Arcana
- Grandmaster Skills
- Small Businesses
- Minor Titles
- Large Races
Example: A player character who spent their first minor merit on initiation into the Arcana of Esprit (1) who then acquired a Blight (2) would spend a total of 25 extra XP to do so, and an additional 50 XP if they chose to be awoken to a Gnosis (3). Their fourth Merit would cost 75 XP.
Major Merits
Each Major Merit you fulfill the criteria to acquire requires 250 XP, plus 500 XP for each Major Merit before it to pursue. None of these are available at the start of play, except for the Adult Dragon
Major Merit List
- The Ascended
- Major Titles
- Large Businesses
- Massive Races
Sometimes a merit is awarded through play with a Storykeeper in excess of the XP that player character possesses. This is assigned as XP debt, and from that point on any earned XP will be spent towards getting out of debt. Newly created Adult Dragons may assign their 300 starting XP elsewhere and then begin with up to 250 XP debt.
Final Merits
If a player character were to somehow achieve true godhood, they have evolved beyond personal expression to represent a metaphor. Thus, they would be retired as a part of Antarok lore. This would apply to becoming a planar Godhead, a Precept, or something like Nihilos. A Final Merit story requires Head Lorekeeper approval for the outcome.
