At the end of a game session, the game master/mistress should divvy out character points. After the players receive them, and between sessions, the players may spend the 3 points to improve a skill by +1. Alternatively, the player may spend character points equal to the dice to add a new skill based on the associated attribute. The cost is equal to the number of new dice for the skill. For example, a player wants to increase their 5D skill to 5D+2. If they want to proceed, they will need to spend 6 character points. Another example, the player wants to learn a new skill based on their Agility score of 2D. They will need to spend 2 character points to get +1 in the skill for a total of 2D+1. \end{multicols} +\vspace*{\fill} \begin{tcolorbox} {\color{black} The Cubic System © 2024 by William Moore is licensed under \href{https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/}{CC BY-SA 4.0}} \end{tcolorbox}
