Experience Points

Experience points, or "XP," are "points" that are awarded by the System for accomplishing certain things. They are analogous to the experience points awarded in role-playing games, and serve the same purpose - to allow a person to gauge their progress toward goals such as leveling up. So far in the RealRPG series, we have seen XP awarded for:


 * 1) Killing System-powered enemies, including both monsters (System-powered animals) and humans with classes.
 * 2) Completing quests such as "Secret of the System" and "Bring Survivors to Safety."

It is implied toward the end of Mind Games that XP can be earned for crafting, but we have not seen this occur.

XP is granted in integral units, and appears to be awarded based on the difficulty of the thing achieved. More powerful monsters award more XP if defeated. The more obscure the thing learned about the System, the more XP the Secret of the System quest awards.
