advance - Increase or view level, stats or a skill.

Description

Advance or view ones player level, statistics and skill credits.

Advancing player level awards players with credits that may be spend on statistics and skills up to a finite number of ranks. Every 10 levels gained above level 20 will trigger 1 hour of double experience for all players for each 10 levels gained (i.e. level 20 is 2 hours, level 100 is 10 hours).

Statistics include constitution, dexterity, intelligence and strength to improve ones vitals such as health (hit points or HP), mana (spell points or SP) or endurance (fatigue points or FP). Credit costs vary by race, such that a massive troll has very affordable credit cost for stats like constitution and strength, where a small hobbit would have high costs for those statistics, but very affordable costs for dexterity due to their nimble nature.

One may also spend credits to advance skills using the 'category.subcategory' notation found in the skills command. The amount of skill points received is fixed and does not vary. However, the impact to the skill added o will vary depending on current skill level. Expect big jumps on lower trained skills, and small increments for higher trained skills.
