Review
On Antarok, writing is writing. When you finish your story, you can reply to your post with a summary and how much XP you earned based on your word count. Then, submit it for Canonization so that we can verify if what you wrote believably happened.
Skills & Merits
- XP is earned from Solo or Collaborative threads and spent on Merits or progressing Skills and Arcana.
- Player characters begin with 250 experience that may be allocated freely towards Skills, Arcana, and Minor Merits.
- Players from forums with a similar XP system as Antarok may transfer up to 1,000 bonus Rebirth XP.
- 'Starting Package' XP is spent by subtracting an amount from the 'Skill Ledger' located on your Character Sheet.
- Add any bonus XP from your chosen race, but this cannot cause a skill to exceed 250 XP.
- Minor Merits cost 0 XP, plus 25 XP for each Minor Merit purchased before it.
- Merited skills may begin play at 0 XP - Novice.
Skill Values
- 00/250 XP: Novice Skill
- 25/250 XP: Apprentice Skill
- 50/250 XP: Journeyman Skill
- 100/250 XP: Expert
- 250/250 XP: Master Skill
Compounding Merit Costs
- 00 XP: First Minor Merit
- 25 XP: Second Minor Merit
- 50 XP: Third Minor Merit
- 75 XP: Fourth Minor Merit
- 100 XP: Fifth Minor Merit
Examples: Purchasing an Apprentice skill would be represented as having a 25 out of 250 XP in that skill, and you would be left with 225 XP. Your first Minor Merit is free, your second costs 25 XP, and your third costs 50 XP. If you wish to begin with an Arcana, then you will need to expend a Minor Merit worth of XP to buy it. This means any character can usually - if not Reborn - only afford up to 5 forms of Arcana aside from Theorems and, if a Ghost, Syphon.
Account Experience
If a character has less than 1,000 Account XP from the Rebirth system, then you may earn double experience from Solo and Collaborative Thread XP, or Development Reward XP in the form of Account XP. This bonus Account experience must be tracked on separates line in your Experience Ledger, tallying up the amount in the name using (parenthesis); (10), then (20), and so on.
- Account XP applies to all of your Player Characters, but it is limited to 1,000 XP - you can also earn it through Dungeoneering. You are free to add this amount in retroactively if you forget, just make sure it goes in your experience ledger right below its source.
- Occasionally, events orchestrated by our community will award Account Experience for achieving specific goals.
