Character Development

Each time characters increase in Stature they gain 10 character points to distribute. Whenever this occurs, the player repeats the design phase of character creation and the GM repeats the approval phase. Characters conforming to an archetype already have seven points committed to particular Skills and Abilities. Players should pay attention to the character's Abilities, as characters may improve Abilities and Spells by one step with each increase in Stature.

Remember that characters should invest 1 character point per point of Stature for Skills they are good at, 2 points if they are very good, and 3 points (the maximum allowed) if excellent.

The GM may allow incremental increases in character points: every time characters gain 10% of the experience needed for the next increase in Stature they gain 1 character point. In such cases the point may have to be spent on improving things the character has been using recently.
