Character Advancement (Skills and Experience)

Character Advancement (Skills and Experience)
Terminology
Term Name:	Character Advancement
Description:	Players earn experience points for helping the game, those points are assigned to characters and this earns levels and skill points. Skill points can then be spent to buy skills giving characters new abilities.
Abbreviation or Synonyms:	Growth, Development
Rule Type:	Character

Overtime characters improve, gaining new skills and learning new abilities. This page will discuss how that happens.

Experience Points

Characters in Kingdoms of Novitas do not earn experience, players earn it. Experience in Kingdoms of Novitas is awarded for actions that help improve the game.

Whenever players donate money to the game or pay for things like event entry fees they get 1 experience point for every $10 donated or spent.

While money is one way to help the game, there are many others as well.

Each shift a player NPCs earns them 1 experience point. Players who NPC 3 or more shifts get an extra experience point for the third and fourth shift they NPC.
Helping with setting up and breaking down each event also earns experience, 1 point for every hour spent.
Work groups have a variety of positions that need to be filled every event, such as the make-up desk, game masters, and innkeepers. These typically get 2 experience for a shift.
Item donations to the game will earn experience when they are requested. Not every donation is acceptable, the Marshals will periodically post lists of the things they are currently looking for at that time.
Several times a year, the Boy Scouts host "Work Days" where volunteers work on improving the camp site for everyone's benefit. We award experience to players who participate and help at these work days.
Finally, Marshals will from time to time have special projects for improving the game, or maintaining our supplies. These include things like laundering the NPC garb, building new costuming, technical projects (such as working on this Wiki or the Web Portal), going to conventions to recruit new players, and writing projects.

Players can check how many experience points they have by going to the online experience look-up located here.

To get your player ID number or character ID numbers speak to the Logistics Marshal or Second (Frank Tamburrino and Taylor Dean).

Character Level and Skill Points

Players then take the experience points they earn and assign them to their characters. All experience points go to one character until you speak to the Logistics Marshal or Second (Frank Tamburrino and Taylor Dean) to change who they are going to. The total number of experience points assigned will determine what level a character has.

Characters begin at level 0 with 10 skill points. Each level after that earns a character 2 skill points. The first 20 levels require 5 experience points each. Every level after that requires 10 experience points.

You can use the online character sheet to calculate your level, how many skill points you have, and assign skills without having to do any of the actual math.

If you like math and want to do it anyway, you can calculate how many skill points a character has with these two formulas:

For characters under 100 experience points, they have: (Experience Points/ 5) = Level
For characters with over 100 experience points, they have: ((Experience Points - 100)/ 10) + 20 = Level.

Then use this formula to determine skill points: (Level * 2 + 10).

Example 1: Your character has 39 experience points. 39/5 = 7th level with 4 extra xp. This character would have 24 skill points.
Example 2: Your character has 168 experience points. ((168-100)/10) + 20 = 26th level with 8 extra xp. This character would have 62 skill points.

Learning Skills

Characters can spend skill points to learn new skills. Each skill has a cost listed to learn it, and many have prerequisites of other skills that must be learned before you can learn that one. Other than role-playing skills and rare language skills, you do not need permission to learn skills. Role-playing skills and rare language skills require permission from the Plot Marshal or Second (Ryan Green and Donald Tyson) to learn.

When you learn a skill simply mark them down on your character sheet to note that you've learned them. The online character sheet located at http://portal.kingdomsofnovitas.org/ can be used to track how you have spent your skill points or you can use the most current paper version of the character sheet. The online character sheet is preferred.

Once you've entered play with a character sheet the skill points spent should remain spent the same way (unless a player is using the character amnesty rule). An exception to this is that when rules updates take place; they can cause a character sheet to cease to be accurate, legal, or it can cause a character to have skill points not spent as previously intended. If this happens, the rules update will generally come with instructions on how to handle the situation. In the event that still leaves issues, speak to a 1st Marshal (Christina Mevec, James Vertucci, and Ryan Green) to figure out how to remedy the situation.

Players should have their most up to date character sheet on them when playing their player character at an event. The character creation portal does not give members of staff access to any information you put into it, so you'll need to be sure to print out a copy of the sheet and have that on hand. You can also keep your most current copy downloaded to your phone and forgo having to have the paper entirely.

Specialist Titles

When characters learn all the skills in certain segments of the character sheet, they gain access to special bonus abilities known as 'Specialist Titles'. These are permanent abilities and cost no skill points to learn beyond those required to fill out that section of the character sheet.

Weapons Master

A Weapons Master is a character who has obtained all of the following combat skills:

Twice per game day a Weapons Master may make an attack with any weapon a 'master's strike'.

Weapons Masters are the only ones who may wield great javelins or great spears with a second weapon or shield. While doing this you may only make stabbing attacks with the great javelin/ spear, never swinging attacks. A weapon in the off hand can be swung as normal.

Finally, Weapons Masters are also the only characters who can take advantage of Master's Blades.

Master Crafter

A character who has obtained all 20 craft points and has mastered a crafting skill can gain the following titles:

Ornamenting Mastery gains the title Master Ornamentor.
Tinkering Mastery gains the title Master Tinkerer.
Weaponsmithing Mastery gains the title Master Weaponsmith.

Having any combination of these three titles makes a character a Master Crafter.

Master Crafters gain 4 additional craft points each event. When using these craft points, they do not need to spend any coin.

Master Crafters have unique items only they can craft:

A Master Tinkerer who is also a Master Ornamentor can craft an Alchemist's Laboratory.
A Master Tinkerer who is also a Master Weaponsmith can craft the Master's Blade feature onto a weapon.
A Master Weaponsmith who is also a Master Ornamentor can craft the Master's Staff feature onto a great weapon.

Savant

A character earns the Savant title after obtaining all 20 production points and learning the following skills:

Alchemy Mastery
Brew Potion
Scribe Scroll
Estimate Value
First Aid
Herbalism
Read Magic
At least one language that was not inherited at the character's creation.
- Note that every character gains the Common language at creation, even if you choose to roleplay that you don't know it, so does not count towards this title.

Savants gain 5 production points that break cap. When producing potions or scrolls Savants, instead of being limited to only spells they know, may also copy potions and scrolls they have on hand to determine which they can make. This cannot be used to copy scarce items.

Only Savants can use an Alchemist's Laboratory.

School Master

This title represents seven different titles at once, one for each school of magic. A character becomes a School Master (replacing "school" with the name of school you have mastery in, such as Aegis Master) when they:

Have obtained all 20 power points.
Learned all spells in a school.
Upon learning all the spells in a school, learned the ritual skill for that school (or gained it via the Scholar RP Skill).

Characters can become masters of every school they qualify for.

Upon becoming a Master of a School, the character may choose one level two or higher spell to specialize in. You cannot change this spell after it is selected. Your selected spell costs you one less power point to cast (to a minimum of 1). This discount does not stack with other discounts you can obtain through the game, most notably with the Master's Staff, unless it is specifically stated otherwise.

A Master of a School is the only one who can benefit from a Master's Staff.

Master's Strikes

A master's strike is a type of modifier call granted by some abilities and items. When used a master's strike modifies the characters next successful hit. Using a master strike a character can add either the 'Slay!' call or the 'Pierce' call to a weapon attack (for the purposes of this ability a projectile weapon delivering a tag bag spell does not count as a weapon attack). Additionally when using a masters strike Might and Accuracy are capped at 4 while dual wielding, with a sword and shield, or when using throwing weapons instead of the normal caps of 2. Remember, only one modifier can be applied to a call at a time. If a modifer is already present, no additional modifiers can be added.

Example: A character is using a great weapon and they attack for half damage to apply the slay call to the attack. They may not then apply a master's strike to that attack to also add the pierce call.
