these are things that are not included in my version because they're homebrew, because they are a lot of writing/creativity that I don't feel comfortable stealing/distributing, or so on this includes ideas that I like, but either plan to write my own way in the future, or again I just don't feel comfortable copying verbatim, especially if, for instance, I have my own process and don't need to advocate for a different one

-The following options allow the GM to slow the rate of [character advancement](#character-advancement) and change the
|
|
-nature of [XP](#choose-xp) as a currency.
|
|
-
|
|
-- **Expenditure Requirements:** The GM can require that some portion---for example, half---of the [XP](#choose-xp)
|
|
- earned by a PC must be spent on [immediate](#experience-points-immediate-benefits), [short- and
|
|
- medium-term](#experience-points-short-and-medium-term-benefits), or
|
|
- [long-term](#experience-points-long-term-benefits) benefits.
|
|
-
|
|
-- **Two Kinds of XP:** The GM might separate XP into two types---one of which can be spent on character advancement,
|
|
- and another which cannot.
|
|
-
|
|
-- **Milestone Advancement:** This option is a variant of [Equal Advancement](#equal-advancement), except PCs purchase
|
|
- their character advancements as normal, but the GM decides when a PC advances to the next tier. This might be to
|
|
- wait until all PCs are ready to advance, just before or after a significant event in the campaign, or as part of a
|
|
- specific step of a [character arc](#sample-character-arcs).
|
|
-
|
|
- An old-fashioned way of handling milestones is to require PCs to spend time, currency---or both---to advance to the
|
|
- next tier, potentially involving the instruction of a mentor or at least someone with something to teach the PC.
|
|
- Even if PCs do not reach new tiers at the same rate, some [character arcs](#character-arcs) can be addressed quite
|
|
- effectively during \"downtime\" between adventures, providing other PCs with the opportunity to pursue those, or go
|
|
- carousing and [explore](#arc-explore) nearby locations.
|
|
-
|
|
-- **Require More Advancements Each Tier:** The GM decides on a number of additional [character
|
|
- advancements](#character-advancement) a PC must purchase with XP to before advancing to the next tier. When using
|
|
- this rule, the GM decides any requirements or limitations for the additional advancements, including [optional
|
|
- character advancements](#optional-character-advancements). When using this rule, PCs will gain additional breadth
|
|
- each tier in the form of additional skills, special abilities, or other benefits.
|
|
-
|
|
-- **Increased Advancement Costs by Tier:** Each tier, the cost for purchasing a character advancement is increased by
|
|
- 1 XP. Additionally, every two tiers, a PC can hold 1 additional XP.
