Editing Core Rules (section)

== Experience ==
Advancement in biosphere guardians is based off an experience (XP) system. You start the game with 0 experience and gain it as you advised. When you have collected 6 experience you spend it (reducing yourself back to 0) and can buy one of the following:

* Gain an extra specialisation keyword. This should relate to the actions you have been taking in play or a significant moment. For example if you have been acting as a healer, patching up wounds take 'medic' or if you have been socially engaging NPCs take 'diplomat'.
* Take a new speciality. Your character is not fixed and may gain a new roll within the biosphere or retrain between games. A researcher may from there Time in the field be reallocated to an animal specialist.

When you have taken 6 advancements, you can no longer take additional advancements.

=== Gaining Experience ===
At the end of the game when the GM asks questions to gain Optimism each player also gains 1 XP for each Optimism.

Personal Tasks:

At the start of a game each PC sets a personal goal for themselves, a short turn objective that can be accomplished in a single session. For example:

* I will try to gain funding from an external political party.
* I will research the local wolf population and find out what is making them sick.
* I will go to the boarder of the biosphere to investigate the missing bees. 

A personal task should should be worded 'I will…' and be an achievable goal within a session. At the start of the game a player will work with the GM to creat a goal that firs there charicter. When a goal is accomplished that PC gains 1XP. Only one personal task can be completed a session and a new task should be discussed based on the current world state and player objectives. For example, a player has the personal task 'I will look for the poachers sighted in the west of the biosphere'. In game they take some time to follow any tracks, maybe set up cameras or traps to interegate a poacher. Suckse or fail the player has accomplished there goal. If they find evedance of the poachers they may get a new goal 'i will confront the poachers' for next session.
