• Character progression

  Unknown View implementation

  A system for long-term character or account development through levels, skills, equipment, and specializations.

  The retained primary item identifies a progression-related fact, but the package does not establish the progression unit, cycle and reset rules, persistence, formal axes, cap, and post-cap state required by section 16.12. A positive character-progression result is therefore not published.
