-====== Spending Experience ======
-To progress your <wrap preview>[[:Character]]</wrap>, you must spend <wrap preview>[[Game Mechanics:Definitions:Experience Points]]</wrap>, commonly referred to as <wrap preview>[[Game Mechanics:Definitions:Experience Points|Exp or XP]]</wrap>.\\
-\\
-You may spend any <wrap preview>[[Game Mechanics:Definitions:Experience Points|Exp]]</wrap> you have during the end of any <wrap preview>[[:Scene]]</wrap>.\\
-\\
-The ways in which you can spend <wrap preview>[[Game Mechanics:Definitions:Experience Points|Exp]]</wrap> and their costs are listed in the table below.
-^Type^Cost^Example^
-|  Ranking up <wrap preview>[[:Skills  |  Costs **1 Exp per Rank** you wish to obtain.  |  E.g. if you wish to gain the 4th Rank of [[:Skills#Tech]], it would cost 4 Exp.//|
-|**Ability**| Costs **2 Exp per Rank** of Ability you wish to obtain. \\ In addition, you must have the corresponding Ranks in the relevant Mastery. \\ //E.g. If you wish to gain the [[Masteries:Meat]] Ability, Bull Rush which is Rank 2, it would cost 4 Exp and you would need at least 2 Ranks in the Meat Mastery//|
-|**New Mastery**| Costs **X+1 Exp, where X equals the number of unique Masteries with at least 1 rank**. \\ When a new Mastery Rank is gained, you may also gain a corresponding Ability of equal Rank. \\ //E.g. If you obtained the first Rank in the [[Masteries:Cultivation]] Mastery, while having at least 1 Rank in [[Masteries:Bones]], [[Masteries:Animism]], [[Masteries:Industrial]] and [[Masteries:Stealth]], then it would cost 5 Exp, since X would be equal to 4//.|
-|**Existing Mastery**|Costs **3 Exp per Rank** you wish to obtain. \\ When a new Mastery Rank is gained, you also gain an Ability of equal or lower Rank. \\ //E.g. if you wish to gain the 5th Rank of [[Masteries:Arcana]], it would cost 15 Exp and you would gain an Arcana Action or Trait of 5th Rank or lower.//|
-|**Mundane Stat**|Costs **4 Exp per Rank in excess of your Starter Ranks**. \\ //E.g. If a [[Races:Human]] with a starting <wrap preview>[[:Stats:Brawn]]</wrap> of 7 wished to gain the 8th Rank of <wrap preview>[[:Stats:Brawn]]</wrap>, it would cost 4 Exp, since their Starter <wrap preview>[[:Stats:Brawn]]</wrap> was 7, and thus the excess is only 1.//|
-|**Mystical Stat**|Costs **5 Exp per Rank in excess of your Starter Ranks**. \\// E.g. If a human with 6 starting <wrap preview>[[:Stats:Grit]]</wrap> wished to gain the 7th Rank of<wrap preview>[[:Stats:Grit]]</wrap>, it would cost 5 Exp, since their Starter<wrap preview>[[:Stats:Grit]]</wrap> was 6, and thus the excess is only 1.//|
-|**Job Rank**|Costs **5 Exp per Rank** you wish to obtain. \\ //E.g. if you wish to gain the 2nd Rank of Merc, it would cost 10 Exp. \\ **Please note**; All Characters start with 1 Rank in their Starting Job. Therefore obtaining what some people may view as their "first" rank in their Job would actually be their second and therefore Cost 10 Exp.//|
-|**Re-Training an Ability**| Calculate the cost of the Ability you wish to unlearn and the cost of the Ability that you wish to replace it with. \\ The cost of the new Ability is equal to the new cost, minus the old cost, plus 1 Exp (to a minimum of 1 Exp). \\ E.g. If your <wrap preview>[[:Character]]</wrap> had already obtained the Level 2 Pistol Whip Action from the [[Masteries:Light Arms]] Mastery, worth 4 Exp, and you wished to replace it with the Level 3 Ambush Action, also from Light Arms, worth 6 Exp. The cost of retraining would be 6 Exp, minus 4 Exp, plus 1 Exp for a total of 3 Exp.|
