Additional equipment

New page

Advancement in Post-Myth is done during character downtime (between non-to-be-continued sessions).

=='''Changes to Advancement'''==

==='''Story-based level advancement'''===
There is no XP tracking: your DM will let you know when is time for you to level up.

He won't try to cheat you of your levels, don't worry. The point is to focus the players on the roleplaying action, instead of aiming for points.

Monsters and other opponents are not bags of XP: they are out there only to kill you!! Your job is to stay alive, and avoid needless sources of suicide.

==='''Mid-level advancement'''===
Midway to reaching your next level, your DM might also allow everyone to gain the feat and skill points they are due for their next level, and a couple sessions later, when finally leveling up, gain the rest of the class features.

==='''New HP at level up'''===
When gaining a new level, normally you roll your Hit Dice and add your Con modifier to determine how many new Hit Points you gain.

In Post-Myth, you don't roll dice: you add ''half your Hit Dice value'' to your HP, without adding the Con modifier.

''For instance, if you're a fighter, your Hit Dice is d10. When you gain a fighter level, you gain +5 HP.''

This is counterbalanced by the [[http://www.orcedinburgh.co.uk/wiki/Hit_Points,_Action_Points,_and_Life_in_General#The_new_HP_.E2.80.9Cbar.E2.80.9D ''Disabled'' buffer zone]] (which replaces what used to be 'zero' HP), which has a number of HP equal to your Con ''score'' (the full score, not the modifier). Also, using Second Wind with your Action Points is also useful.

This makes the game more deadly, and hopefully it will make players think twice, and fight more defensively.

=='''Equipment at the Company's Armory'''==

When buying equipment you can choose items from the [http://www.d20pfsrd.com/equipment---final Pathfinder SRD list].

Because you are using Company equipment and it is a communal armory, '''you can exchange any item you own for cash and/or other items at the purchase cost''' (instead of half, as if you would when selling it to a private buyer).
