The XP Rules

For the record, the thoughts from the previous post about excess experience points translate into these short rules:

1. Level can increase or decrease, but XP never decreases. Total XP indicates maximum level you can advance to.
2. You can only advance a level when you return from an expedition to town or home base.
3. You can only advance one level per expedition, even if your XP total indicates you could advance more.
4. You can advance a level after any expedition, no matter how trivial, as long as you earn at least 1 XP and your total XP indicates you should be a higher level.

I might add one or two rules, but they cover some other ideas I haven't even addressed yet.
