Leveling up #
Just like in life, you level up in Aspiring Legends through Failure. Everytime your character fails, mark an XP point for the session. At the end of the session, after a set number of sessions, or whatever the GM calls for it, the XP points from all players will be added together. If the players reach 10 XP points then they gain a new level.
Level Up Table #
As your character gains experience and levels up, they get the opportunity to enhance their abilities. At each level, you can choose one of the following improvements:
- Level 1: Increase the level of a Skill by 1 (max 5), or learn a new Skill
- Level 2: Increase an Ability Score by 1 (max 20)
- Level 3: Lower the target of a single action by 1 (min 1)
- Level 4: Increase the level of a Skill by 1, or learn a new Skill
- Level 5 (Special): Increase an Ability Score by 1, AND increase the level of a Skill by 1 or learn a new Skill
This cycle repeats itself every and on every 5th level (e.g., Level 10, Level 15), there’s a special level-up event where your character gets to both increase an Ability Score and increase a Skill level or learn a new Skill.
Note that your choices should reflect your character’s growth, experiences, and the paths you want them to take. So, choose wisely!
