Experience Awards

In the Wildside system, XP is gained through skill use. One notable problem with this system is that a generalist actually gets MORE XP than a specialist, resulting in more skill advancement and eventually very unbalanced characters. To eliminate this problem, I am curtailing the aquisition of XP by skills use (henceforth called Usage Points) but not eliminating it altogether. Usage Points will be gained under extraordinary circumstances. These become awards for creative skill use and roleplaying more than anything else.

Standard advancement will be accomplished by earning Bonus Point awards at the end of each gaming session. These points may be spent on skills used during that session. In the event of particularly long subjective sessions or exceptionally active games, you may be allowed to spend more on a given skill (GM discretion). Regardless, Bonus Points may be spent above and beyond any Usage Points gained.
