Experience Points (XP) are a measure of how your character learns and grows over time. You earn them for attending games and spend them to acquire new and more effective capabilities for your character.

Earning Experience Points

Each game, a PC earns 6 XP. Per the OWBN bylaws, you cannot earn more than 12/10/8 XP per month, depending on the size of your sheet (0-199 points, 200-399, and 400+); if your cap is 10 XP, for instance, you will receive 6 XP for your first game of the month and 4 XP for the second.

We will honor XP for absences up to three times in a twelve-month rolling period. These "sick days" helps incentivize staying home when you're not feeling well - please don't come to game and risk other people falling ill! To utilize this policy, please reach out to the STs via email. 

Each time a PC travels to another OWBN live game or regular Discord game, they are eligible to gain 6 XP as if they had visited a local game. To receive this XP, please reach out to the STs via email, CCing the STs of the game that you attended.
