Converted from Phorums BB System

Let's try this once more. A die exploding is relevant only insofar as it gives you a higher result. A larger die type will give you that same result more reliably. (With the possible exception of really high results - someone who cares can work that out.) Small dice are not better, but they might be more exciting.


"You said the average XP award was two points per session (the book says 1 to 3 on page 61). Five are required to level. That's means the standard is to level every third session.

If you save your bennies, you can level faster than those who did not."

If you connect those two paragraphs you'll understand. Standard XP award is 2; 1 or 3 in exceptional circumstances. So in 2 sessions you get 4 XP. However, unused bennies might also convert to XP, which gives a good chance of 5XP over 2 sessions.
