Honor/Glory/Status Logs:
Act 1
Act 2, Chapter 1  

[Rain Yupa]

XP Template per Act

Pending Approval...

• 2 xp for starting an Act.
  
• 2 xp for finishing an Act.
  
• 2 xp for surviving an Act.
  
• 1 xp for each Class Skill used during the Act (max of 5).
  
• # xp, where # is the highest # of non-free Raises you have declared on a single roll and succeeded during the Act.
  
• 1 xp if your ending honor is different than your starting honor.
  
• 2 xp if your ending honor rank is different than your starting honor rank.
  
• 1 xp if your ending glory is different than your starting glory.
  
• 2 xp if your ending glory rank is different than your starting glory rank.
  
• 1 xp if your ending status is different than your starting status.
  
• 2 xp if your ending status rank is different than your starting status rank.

***Using class skills must be relevant to plot. Realizing the Act is about to end doesn't mean you can go "I make a Theology roll to think about the Fortunes!"

***Honor, Glory, and Status changes only reward XP if earned in character. Belated purchases of them through advantages/disadvantages do not count.

XP Expenditure per Act

To increase a trained skill independently, you must have used it once during the Chapter or Act (whichever is smaller). It does not matter if you have succeeded or failed.

To learn a new skill, you must have an Instructor.

If you are taught a new skill rank by a PC Instructor, the cost is reduced by 1+1/raise, to a minimum of 1. NPC Instructors will never raise.

Update, 1/2/12: Updated the skill improvement to indicate it can be done by chapter instead of by act, if applicable.

Update, 5/26/11: As the book says, you must have at least 3 ranks in a skill to teach it to another, and you must have a higher skill rank than them. You can teach it with an untrained Intelligence/Instruction roll, but the XP cost is not reduced. Note the length of time needed to teach a skill (1 day to teach rank 1, 2 days to teach rank 2, etc). You will need to roll each day, and you must make the same amount of raises (or spend the same amount of void if you use it to gain a rank in Instruction) on each roll. A failed roll simply delays the process an additional day (the training process, start to finish, must be on consecutive days; but successful days need not be consecutive).

Update, 4/30/11: At the end of each act, you can only buy up a skill (or trait, as unlikely as that may be) by only 1 rank. If you wish to advance a skill, et al, by more than 1 rank per Act, you will need an Instructor.

Traits may be increased normally, and cannot be taught, as logic dictates.

During Winter Court, an NPC instructor can be easily found. During the rest of the year, this is not the case.
