Milestones and Character Advancement
If your name is listed below, you qualify for the appropriate benefits of the milestone. Please bear in mind that we will be using the pyramid structure for improving skills; I will explain this below.
For this plotline, experience is being given out based on involvement throughout the length of the storyline as well as character development. If your character substantially changed through the course of the plot, you are much more likely to get a Major than a Significant milestone.
Minor Milestone
Ashmira Honzen
Edda Eglantine
Franz Renatus
Ginshaw Ihrnachtwyn
Jil'enkette Denma
Kestya Nolan
Klynzahr Ihrnachtwyn
Mholi Mujuuk
Nheu'a Polaali
Odile Dornier
Qara Htgo
Spahro Llorn
Tiergan/Lurial Vashir
V'aleera Lhuil
Verad Bellveil
Minor Milestones grant one of the following benefits of the player's choice:
Aya Foxheart
Enju Abbagliato
Gallien Vyese
Jana/Khena Ridah
Leggerless Hanzou
Orrin Halgren
R'elend Tia
Reppu Hijiri
R'Shesha Otharn
Significant Milestones grant the benefits of the Minor Milestone above and all of the following:
Major Milestone
Anstarra Silverain
Kiht Jakkya
Leanne Delphium
Liadan Summerfield
Nihka Mioni
Tengri Moks
Zanzan Yanzan
Major Milestones grant the benefits of the Minor and Significant Milestone above and all of the following:
Under these advancement rules, there can never be more skills at a higher level than those at a lower level. So if Verad's skills look like this:
+4: Rapport
+3: Contacts, empathy
+2: Deceit, Rogue, Provoke
+1: Will, Notice, Stealth, Resources
Verad can't use a point from a Milestone to push Empathy to +4, since that would break the rule above. Instead, he would have to get a new skill at +1 and then use other milestones to push Empathy up to +4 like so:
+4: Rapport, Empathy
+3: Contacts, Resources
+2: Deceit, Rogue, Provoke
+1: Will, Notice, Stealth, Physique
Some of you may have sheets that already break the pyramid from other plots. That's fine, but your skill choices in the future will need to rebuild the pyramid. If your pyramid is out of order, you may take this opportunity to reorganize your sheet entirely, or you may keep your pyramid locked as is until future milestones give it the pyramid shape.
Awards
Awards have no bearing on advancement and are entirely for player amusement. Wear them with pride.
Expert Goose Chaser - Orrin Halgren, whose lust for Amdapor ended the threat of the dread voidsent Diabolette and sent the group on a tangent.
The Hand of Fate-14:Â Leanne Delphium, who is the #1 most-frequent participant of events, signing up for 15 when most people have an average of 6-7 events in total.
Least Likely To Blow Up Anything - Zanzan Yanzan, who, despite having the powers of pure fire and destruction at his command, has Rapport as his most-rolled skill.
Most Overblown Threat - Kuru, whose frustrating cuteness thwarted the efforts of several nightmarish horrors to kill everybody else in the party.
Mercy Award - Pretty much everybody for consistently choosing not to kill NPCs I was sure weren't going to make it out of their first event alive. Special mention to Leanne Delphium.
Artificial Plot-Extender - Liadan Summerfield, who spent so much time hanging around the villain that he actually changed his mind when I expected him to die in a bossfight.
Edit:Â Adjusting the tally to shift Kiht Jakkya from Significant to Major after discussion with her and the other DM.
