Bright‑Dark characters grow slowly and meaningfully. Improvement reflects healing, learning, and quiet perseverance, not power fantasy. This section explains how characters advance over time.
CHARACTER IMPROVEMENT
Character improvement should expand depth, not breadth.
Improvement is milestone-based. A milestone is achieved when players complete an adventure and either redeem a shadow, restore a light, or fail and bring ruination. Milestones typically occur every one to three sessions, depending on the pace of the story.
At each milestone, a character may choose one of the following:
- Improve one attribute by 1 (up to +3)
- Add a talent (Recommended cap of 3 Talents)
- Add +2 to maximum Health (cap 20 + Strength modifier)
- Add +1 to one resource (Stamina or Ether, up to their caps which are defined in the Resources section)
Some improvements may require training or guidance from an NPC if they do not fit the character’s established experience. For example, learning to swim or cast magic without prior exposure may require a tutor.
