Instead of the usual XP accrual, players are awarded levels for the number of gaming sessions they have attended. As characters progress in power, so too does the amount of time it takes to 'ding' up. This tends to level off in certain brackets, but scales up rapidly for the final levels.
1st level (0 sessions)
2nd level (1 session)
3rd level (3 sessions)
4th level (6 sessions)
5th level (10 sessions)
6th level (15 sessions)
7th level (20 sessions)
8th level (25 sessions)
9th level (30 sessions)
10th level (35 sessions)
11th level (41 sessions)
12th level (47 sessions)
13th level (53 sessions)
14th level (60 sessions)
15th level (66 sessions)
16th level (73 sessions)
17th level (80 sessions)
18th level (87 sessions)
19th level (94 sessions)
20th level (101 sessions)
21st level (109 sessions)
22nd level (117 sessions)
23rd level (125 sessions)
24th level (133 sessions)
25th level (141 sessions)
26th level (150 sessions)
27th level (160 sessions)
28th level (171 sessions)
29th level (183 sessions)
30th level (196 sessions)
Remember that not all new characters in the tabletop and online groups start at level 1, but at one level below the party average (noted at the right of the blog under the Player Character roster). Other, newer campaigns will not likely be included in this average, but have their own.
In order to read the exact number of sessions your character has earned:
1. First, note the level he/she began with, then mark the corresponding # of sessions.
2. Add the number of sessions you've played.
3. Add any 'bump' sessions the DM awarded you either for some arbitrary reason or for being 'grandfathered' due to your level being too low for the party average.
So, for example, if Dick Bentley of the Foggy Gorge begins as a 4th level swamp herder, showed up for eight physical game sessions and then got a sympathy nudge for 1 session from the DM, the math would look like:
8 sessions (4th/+1), or six sessions (4th level) plus eight plus one, totaling 15 (6th level).
Remember that you count as having played the session AFTER the session, not before.
