Rule for leveling up: Borrowed somewhat from the Call of Cthulhu rules for increasing skills. This was inspired by a post by G.M. on dragonsfoot where he lamented the accumulation of gold=xp in the game which led to the unintended consequence of the initial equipment list being superfluous after character creation due to obscene levels of character wealth.
roll a d00 after each adventure. Each character level is equal to 10% on the d00. In order to level up a player must roll higher than his levelx10 on the dice. If successful, roll a d10. This is the fractional level added to your character.
example: Opcero is 3rd level. At the end of his adventure, the player is instructed by the referee to roll a d100. In order to gain experience he must roll higher than 30; he rolls a 56 and gains experience! He now rolls a d10 and scores a 6. Opcero is now level 3.6. At the conclusion of his next successful adventure He will again roll a d100 and will aim for a roll of 37+ If successful, he will then roll another d10 and thereby leveling him to anywhere from 3.7-4.6. Any level of 4+ will add all of the abilities of a 4th level character. This obviates the need for the DM to place treasure or to fill an adventure with monsters simply for XP. After 9th level (90%) all level-ups simply require a roll of 90 or higher on the d00. So a fighting-man who is 13.2 simply needs to roll a 90+ in order to add 1d10 more experience.
Characters will advance through lower levels quickly, but begin to slow down character advancement around level 5. Advancement above 9th level of course will be quite slow.
Sorcerers
Sorcerers may only roll a d6 when gaining experience, unlike the fighting-man's d10.
