Level up

Level up
  • The Basics
    In order to level up, you must meet the conditions below. Once you do, make a request in the Tribunal forum and follow the template!

    • You must have finished a thread where your character successfully conquered a difficult challenge that physically or mentally pushes them to their absolute limit, leading to their growth as an adventurer. You must make a minimum of 5 posts in this thread with no less than 2500 words spread among them. Keep in mind
    • Your adventurer must have earned and distributed at least 1000 AP (the starter AP count toward this). No stat should be below H-rank and at least one stat must be at D-rank or higher.

    In-character Information: Due to the nature of leveling up, not many Adventurers are able to go beyond level 1, even when they have incredible stats. Level ups don't happen often in DRP, but when it does, it is an incredible and celebrated event. Although your status is kept between you and your god, level is public information. Aside from having to report it to The Guild, Adventurers also keep tabs on one another.

    Important: It may be tempting to to pump all of your Ability Points (AP) into your primary stat(s). However, each of your stat helps you conquer the hugely diverse Dungeon in different ways. For example: characters with low vitality may find themselves unable to withstand poisonous environment while those with low agility may not be able to outrun slow but deadly monsters.

    Level-up Perks
    When you level up to level 2, you MUST pick a development ability. After level 2, you may choose: Skills (1), Magic (1 spell), or 1 development ability when you level up. You currently can only have up to 2 Skills and 3 spells; however, you may take as many development abilities as you would like.

    Basic Abilities
    When you level up, all of your basic abilities (strength, vitality, dexterity, agility, and Magic) resets to zero. Don't worry, the old stats remain the same, but become hidden; they carry over. Think of the old statuses as a new, invisible baseline. A level 1 fighter with a high strength score will not lose to a level 2 mage with low strength in an athletic contest. In essence, leveling allows you to increase your stat beyond the 1000 points limit. The stats reset because it's easier to keep track of then saying somebody has 1500 AP in a stat. Level up is also great because it is the only way to gain Development Abilities.

    Development Abilities
    Unlike Basic Abilities, Development Abilities enhance Adventurers in a specific area. They are also categorized into ranks from [I] 000 to [S] 999, however, they are more difficult to train.

    It costs 2 ability points to increase a Development Ability by 1. E.g. to increase from [I] 000 to [G] 100, it will cost you 200 AP. Where as a basic ability like Strength would only cost you 100 AP.

    Important: Development Abilities DO NOT reset on a level up.

    Vitality

    • Abnormal Resistance: negates the effects of abnormalities such as poison and acid; one's equipment
    • Magic Resistance: negates the effects of pure Magic attacks; this ability manifests most commonly in magical practitioner. It does not negate things such as physical manifestation of Magic, only pure energy or arcane Magic

    These rare abilities may only be taken as part of a reward. Look at the color-coding to see what category they belong under.

    • Swordsman: Improves one’s mastery in one-handed swords
    • Lancer: Improves one’s mastery in spear-like weapons
    • Hunter: A rare ability that improves one’s fighting ability against monsters that one had encountered before; it will only manifest in those who have killed many monsters of the same type in a short period of time. This ability is incredible difficult to obtain
