==== Experience and levels ====
All characters start at level 1, and level up when they receive enough experience. Leveling up allows a character to take another level in a class. After reaching level 12, no further levels are gained.
{{hatnote|Main article: [[Experience]]}}


Experience is gained through completing quests, succeeding at tasks, discovering new locations, and defeating enemies.
All characters start at level 1, and level up when they receive enough experience. Leveling up allows a character to take another level in a class, eventually to choose a subclass, and optionally to multiclass. After reaching level 12, no further levels are gained, so no other class-related choices are possible.


When a character gains [[Inspiration|inspiration]], they earn a small amount of experience. Experience from all other sources is earned by {{em|all}} characters that have joined the player, whether they are in the active party or at camp.
Using [[Withers]]' services, the player can change the class of a character, setting them back to level 1 and allowing them to change their class(es) and subclass(es).
 
The amount of experience obtained by defeating an enemy is determined by the enemy level and its category. "Pack" enemies are the weakest category and will provide much less experience than "Elite" enemies.
 
Defeating an enemy can reward no experience if the player already resolved the encounter without fighting. For example, if the player peacefully talks their way out of an encounter, they will gain the same experience as if they had killed the enemies. Killing them afterwards will not earn the player any more experience. This is to prevent the player to double up on experience.
