XP Awards

Experience Points are awarded for encounters, exploration, and progress in an adventure. When the PCs face direct opposition, such as a fight or a social conflict, the XP earned is based on the level of the challenge the party overcame. Characters can also gain XP from exploration, such as finding secret areas, locating a hideout, enduring a dangerous environment, or mapping an entire dungeon. The party is a team, so any XP awarded goes to all members of the group. For instance, if the party wins a battle worth 100 XP, they each get 100 XP, even if the party's operative was off hacking a server during the battle. But if the operative collected valuable blueprints they could sell to a rival megacorp, which you've decided was a moderate accomplishment worth 30 XP, each member of the party gets 30 XP, too. ### XP Awards Accomplishment XP Award Minor 10 XP Moderate 30 XP Major 80 XP Typically earns a Hero Point as well.
