	Upon character creation, you are entitled to take your third level, and are thereafter capped at the fifth. As time goes on, however, the level cap shall rise for your character by one level at a time, until eventually reaching fifteenth. At this moment, level fifteen is the highest that any character can aspire to reach through experience gained through killing monsters. Virtually, the only way to advance beyond such a point is through the recieving of DM awarded experience, which is granted for things such as participation in events, good roleplay, creative and in-character forum posts, and a few other methods. NPC quests are also viable ways to get your hands on experience, ever after reaching a level cap.

NPC quests are also viable ways to get your hands on experience, ever after reaching a level cap.

			While your character is at his maximum level, he or she will still recieve 30XP every 10 minutes, which is counted as roleplay awarded experience that everyone recieves. That, quests, and experience granted to you manually from a DM are the only ways to attain any experience whatsoever when at a level cap. Once your character reaches the final cap at the fifteenth level, he or she is no longer entitled to the 30XP per 10 minutes, and loses its income.

	Through the Sundren menu, (accessed by right-clicking your character) you can see what your current maximum level is by using the Show Information feature. The number shown applies only to the character in use, and not any others that you might have.

	Sundren does not use the standard NWN2 experience system. Instead, we utilize a system which regulates the experience gain based on how much experience you have gained, as a total. This is counted towards a "~~daily~~" ~~limit~~ on experience. We have taken this measure to discourage grinding and encourage players to roleplay (Experience given by DM's does count towards the limit, but is not itself modified by the gain limiter)		Sundren does not use the standard NWN2 experience system.

			First and foremost, you cannot rest in armor. Thus, when clad in plate, you can't just drop on your back and close your eyes. When you rest in "unsafe" or "wild" areas, you will not be able to heal nearly as much as you would if you had rested in a safe place. You will regain an amount of HP equal to your character level.

			This means that you will take a short break from combat, catch your breath, and recover your focus. You may also say a small prayer. When you exceed level 5, you will be subject to a rest timer of 10 minutes. This means that you cannot rest again before 10 minutes have passed.

			If you rest in a safe area, such as a rented hotel room, you will fully recover all of your health and have the added advantage of being able to rest as often as you would desire.
