LEVEL UP!
Everyone's hard work is paying off! Below you'll find the leveling information for November. Most of the information here is just a for-fun view into how exploration rolling works and won't affect day-to-day play. While some player-choice skills may be used by characters outside of combat (we'll note those if they're available), most skills that are available to Personas generally just affect roll bonuses and exploration write-ups. Your kids will know when their Persona gets stronger or gets a new skill, though, so feel free to have them brag about it!

HOW THIS WORKS
» PLAYER-CHOICE SKILLS: Comment here if your character reached a player-choice level and tell us what skill you want! While this skill is chosen by the player, IC this ability comes to their Persona naturally and isn't chosen by the character.
» OOC - QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS!
- Each month, the characters will collect experience points (XP) through a combination of training RNG, exploration RNG (which takes into account the number of Shadows fought, the strength of the Shadows fought, and the character's performance), and bonus points. These calculations are done in the background by the mods, though players will be know when events will earn bonus XP for their characters.
- At the end of the month, there will be a Level Up! post to tell players if their characters have leveled up and if that level earned them any new skills.
- At some levels, players will get to choose a new skill for their character. This is to allow players to customize their Persona and their experience in future exploration writeups. If your character reaches one of these levels, you'll need to comment on this post to claim your new skill.
- Below, you'll find three sections with more details about levels and Persona-user abilities: Level Up! (where characters that leveled up this month are listed), Standard Skills (where you can see the skills that characters get at different levels), and Player-Choice Skills (where you can see the different player-choice skills available for characters).

The standard abilities for Personas are listed below. If your character has hit the listed level, you can assume that their Persona has this ability.

Player-Choice Skills
- STUN Using their element, the Persona can stun the Shadow, making it vulnerable to attack temporarily. How this functions will depend on the element.

Choose From: Strength, Speed, and Stamina. - DECREASE ATTRIBUTE The Persona decreases the (attribute) of one one Shadow.
