Character Level
From NexusWiki
A Character's Level is a rough measure of his/her experience and power in the Nexus. As a character gains Experience Points, their level increases. Higher levels bring numerous benefits, affecting Character Points, Magic Points, Action Points, and the risk of enchantment decay. The maximum level obtainable is 30.
The most immediate benefit from levelling is being granted Character Points, which are used to purchase Skills and learn Spells. When a character reaches level 10, Tier 2 classes become available, which allow for new skills to be purchased. Tier 3 classes become available at level 20, with more skills becoming available. Of great importance is the maximum CP for changing class, which is 40CP for Tier 2 and 70CP for Tier 3.
Once a character has reached level 30, or "maxed out", additional XP are of no practical benefit. CP may still be gained through badges and monster-hunting.
Every level gained increases a characters maximum Magic Points by 1, up to a maximum of 49 at level 30.
Levels 10 and above carry an increased quantity of Action Points and Hit Points. Both increase by 1 each level starting at level 10, up to 71AP / HP at level 30.
(Some characters may exceed these normal level limits of HP and MP through the purchase of Skills such as Stamina or Cosmic Affinity.)
Higher levels carry an "Innate Defensive Bonus". This reduces the to-hit percentage, similar to Dodge, rather than increasing damage soak. The percentage listed in the level summary table is the bonus for the level, not the bonus gained. Ie, A 2% bonus is gained at level 5, then another 2% is gained at level 10, bringing the total bonus to 4%.
Enchantment decay refers to the likelihood of an enchanted item losing an enchantment upon a character's death. This is rolled once for the item, not once per enchantment. Enchantment decay chances decrease by 2% each level, from 70% at level 1 to 12% at level 30.
