Hi there, I just picked up the game after reading the review (hardest thing was trying to find another item to raise the minimum purchase cost to over $5).

I have been looking through the rules and have a question when it comes to experience. A new rank in a skill costs 10 times the level you are raising it to, right? If that is the case, a character will always be able to raise a skill reguardless of level, once per adventure, based upon the amount of exp that is awarded (base exp is usually 500+ per adventure). This seems a bit generous.

For example, to raise a skill from 4 to 5 costs 50 exp, but to raise a skill from 15 to 16 costs 160 exp. Again, considering the amounts of exp awarded, players are going to go up a rank every time they get exp. Is this a typo? If not could one of the designers explain why they chose such a fast progression?
