name: rule-character-progression description: XP advancement cycle, level milestones, and how race/class/training/learning benefits stack over a campaign.

Use this skill for leveling questions, milestone planning, and advancement optimization.

XP is cumulative; total XP gates level unlocks.
Level benefits rotate through a cadence:
- Training
- Race advancement
- Learning
- Class advancement
This cadence repeats through level 20 with specific XP thresholds.

Race advancement: race feature or feat, race-specific health gain, and race-specific advancement effects.
Class advancement: class feature or feat, class-specific health gain, and class-specific advancement effects.
Training: +2 stat trainings, +2 expertise trainings, +1 weapon-category training, +1 heroic action/day, plus background-linked health.
Learning: +2 stat trainings, +2 expertise trainings, +1 weapon-category training, plus health equal to willpower.

Race/class choice affects total campaign health growth significantly.
Background choice affects repeated health gains and sometimes action-economy ceiling.
Heroic-action availability scales both through class/race features and training milestones.

Advancement benefits are additive unless a feature explicitly replaces a value.
Feat substitution is valid where the rules allow replacing a race/class feature pick.
Level-gated feats and dependencies must be satisfied at pick time.
