During Downtime characters have a chance to reflect on their experiences and spend earned Deeds for advancement.
Spend 10 + your Level Deeds to gain a new Level.
• Every Level you can change one of your uncursed Guides
• Every Level increase Hit-point maximum by +1
• On odd numbered Levels increase Burden Treshold by +1
• On odd numbered Levels increase Mastery by +1
