Now you choose a class.
Fighter
- You can use all weapons and armor.
- You can use all mundane adventuring gear.
- You gain level up HP equal to the 1d6^1d6.
- You gain an XP boost based on your STR (detailed below).
- Gain +1 to hit (cumulative) at every third level.
Magic-User

- You gain an XP boost based on your INT (detailed below).
- Gain +1 to hit (cumulative) at every sixth level.
Spellbooks and Magic
Magic-Users maintain a spellbook from which they can memorize spells. New Magic-Users begin with 3 random spells in their spellbook; all others must be gained through adventuring.
Only a few spells can be memorized for each delve. Once cast, the spell must be studied again. How many spells can be memorized depends on character level, character class, and spell list.
Spells do not have their own levels. Any spell can be cast by any magic-user. A magic-user or cleric may memorize a number of spells per delve (a spell can only be cast once per delve).
Spells on a scroll can be cast after studying the scroll, or by casting read magic. Casting the scroll itself can be done without any memorization nor sacrifice of a memorized spell.
As for lists of spells - use anything you like from other published material, or your own spell lists.
Magic-users can memorize one spell at level 1, and gain the ability to memorize two more spells on every level up.
Experience and Leveling
Every character begin at Level 1 with 0 XP. The exeperience to level up is determined by class based and an attribute to form an XP rate. Your XP rate is dependent on either STR (Fighter) or INT (WIS):
| Attribute | Fighter | Magic-User |
| STR/INT 1 | 2200 | 2750 |
| STR/INT 2 | 2100 | 2625 |
| STR/INT 3 | 2000 | 2500 |
| STR/INT 4 | 1900 | 2375 |
| STR/INT 5 | 1800 | 2250 |
| STR/INT 6 | 1700 | 2125 |
The XP to level 2 is equal to the rate, and to gain another level you must double your XP at previous level up.
Gain XP for treasure recovered. # XP = # Currency is a tried-and-true formula.
