Level
Level represents the character's overall experience in the world of Mareth. Higher-level characters will usually be much stronger. Leveling up is very important as it allows access to new perks and most encounters have a level requirement.
Leveling up goes according to the following formulas. As such, a player needs 800 XP to go from level 8 to level 9, which is 3600 total XP starting from level 1. <math> \LARGE \text{XP to next level} = 100\times \text{level} </math> <math> \LARGE \text{Total XP needed} = \sum_{n=0}^{level-1} 100\times n </math>
Leveling up is not automatic; the PC must click the "Level Up" button for it to happen. Extra experience is kept until used and players may level up as long as they have enough pooled experience.
Leveling up grants the following:
- +15 HP up to level 20
- +1 Tease bonus lust damage
- +3% base lust resistance up to level 21
- +5 to core stats (not crucial because of transformation changes)
- 1 perk point
