Leveling Up

Awarding Experience Points

Heroes receive Experience Points (XP) for overcoming opponents, Hazards, and other obstacles that stand in the way of achieving the goals of an adventure. Every opponent has a Challenge Level (CL) that determines how much XP the heroes get for overcoming it, as shown in the below table. Note that overcoming an obstacle doesn't always mean defeating it. Heroes who trick or bribe a Gamorrean Guard into letting them pass should get full XP for the Gamorrean, just as if they'd bested him in combat.
