Awarding xp
Texto
As a general guideline, GMs should award about 1 XP per hour of play. GMs can award additional XP at their discretion, as discussed in Chapter 7: The Game Master (see page 299).
Purchasing Advancements
The ways a character can improve themself by spending experience are collectively called advancements. These include ring ranks, skill ranks, and techniques.
A character may purchase any advancement by paying its listed cost, so long as it fits within the listed restrictions. Table 2–2: Advancement Costs provides the costs and restrictions for each advancement type.
Each character also has a curriculum table (see tables beginning on page 57), the collected wisdom of their school, to guide them in their specialized role. A character receives extra benefits for purchasing advancements listed there (but remember, they can buy any advancement that they’re not restricted from purchasing). Note that rings are not included in any curriculum.

2–2: Advancement Costs and Restrictions. To buy an advancement, a character must pay the listed XP cost.
Restrictions and Prerequisites
Advancements also have certain restrictions, also listed in Table 2–2: Advancement Costs and Restrictions. A character cannot make a purchase that exceeds these restrictions.

To purchase a technique, a character must meet all of its prerequisites.
If a technique is listed by name or as part of a technique group for the current rank in their curriculum table (or as one of their starting techniques), it is a special exception. They can buy it without meeting the prerequisites, and it is indicated with the symbol.
