Experience Points
Experience points are an abstract commodity which detail how well-versed your character is in his/her class. Experience points can be awarded for a variety of actions, and may be weighted by your target's level. You can use the EXPERIENCE command to see how much experience you have earned. If you just want a numerical display of your experience you can use STAT XP to see your current experience or STAT XPTNL to see how much experience you need to level. Alternatively, you may add experience, or experience till next level, in your PROMPT.

Leveling
When a character has earned enough experience to advance to the next level, several things happen all at once:
- The character advances one level in their current class.
- The character gains one train point.
- The character gains hit points, mana points, movement points, and practice points according to class formulas.
- The character gains bonus hit points, mana points, movememnt points and practice points according to any racial or class abilities.
- The character gains new abilities and expertises according to their new level. These abilities may be granted from the player's race, class or achievements.
- The character may qualify for new abilities and expertises in their QUALIFY list.
Deleveling
If a character looses too much experience, they will lose a level in their current class. If this would take them below level 0 in their current class, and they have other class levels, they would lose the current class, and lose a level from one of their other classes (which would become their new class). If this would take them below total level 1, they remain level 1 in their starting class.
Any abilities that the character no longer qualify for will remain on their abilities list, but the character will not be able to use or benefit from them until they re-qualify for the ability.
Notes
The formulas for gains (or loses) are based on your current Stats at the time of the event, limited by your MAXSTAT for that stat. Therefore, if your base stat is below your max stat, you may consider donning gear to boost your stat when you get close to leveling. This phenomenon is known as wearing your "leveling gear", so that you maximize gains from each level.
When you die, all of your gear is instantly removed and all non-permanent buffs are instantly removed. If this results in delevelling, then your losses will be based on this naked, unbuffed state.
