Leveling
When you have enough experience points to take your char up a level, there is a simple method of doing so. Please follow these instructions to make it easier and simpler for staff to manage this process!
1. Use '+advapply <text>' to submit an advancement application into the job system. Be certain to include any pertinent information in <text>, such as non-standard abilities/skills/powers your OCC/RCC gains.
2. Once approved to advance, enter the advancement room off of the OOC area.
3. After processing through advancement, please verify your sheet. The advancement room is currently in Beta testing, and this will ensure that any errors are both corrected and prevented in the future.
Notes
Having a Weapon Proficiency does not necessarily give you any bonus in that proficiency, but does allow you to use the weapon without the normal -6 penalty.
In general Physical skills do *not* level up. They are one-time bonuses.
Leveling House Rules
OCC Related Skills
If you have an OCC that specifies that you do not gain any OCC Related skills, this is hearby nullified. As secondary skills represent things that you learn outside of your job/career, and OCC skills represent things you learn in your career, staff have deemed that it makes no sense you simply stop learning. There may be exceptions to this, but.
If your OCC/RCC does not list picking any OCC related skills as you level, you now gain one at levels 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15.
Secondary Skills
Same as with OCC Related skills, some OCC/RCCs don't get Secondary Skills as they level. On CoK, players who do not get Secondary Skills now get a single Secondary Skills at they level.
If your OCC/RCC does not list picking any Secondary Skills as you level, you now gain one at levels 4, 8, 12, and 15.
Magic OCCs
Any Magical Based OCC which normally does not gain any spells as they level, gain 1 spell at 4, 8, 12, and 15th level.
This spell can not be above the players current level.
Rifter 19
The mental skills can, under specific circumstances, be taken as a level up. They must use an OOC Related slot. They must be justifiable and reasonable. We reserve the right to refuse if we feel that it is unlikely.
So, for example, if your char has started to hang out with chars/npcs where chess or other games are played, it is possible we would allow the skill. If he is a meatshield and never talks to people like that, you have no chance.
Dual Classing
In a few rare cases players may be allowed to Dual Class. Normally this is not allowed, and is considered a serious exception to the rule. One of the few cases this would occur is when a player is badly damaged and chooses to have bionic limbs. Or a player takes on a Juicer conversion.
When a player IC'ly does this, their OCC will be changed from the current OCC to the new OCC. Their skills remain the same as the original, and their new level progression begins based on their current level for skills and other additions. Each of these will be taken on a case by case basis.
