Each turn your character earns Experience Points and by doing so you will be awarded a number of Minor Ability Points that you will be able to distribute as you see fit amongst the four abilities.
The amount of points awarded can and will vary. This is a very simplistic way of awarding your character for your achievements obtained during the previous turn.
The awarded minor ability points will be shown on your new turnsheet. You will be expected to distributed amongst the 4 abilities.
Please note these points are added to the minor ability scores, NOT THE MAJOR ABILITY SCORES. For an understanding of the difference please read this.
There are various strategies on how and when to distribute these points. Is it a good idea to award them all to a single abilities and watch the minor score rise quickly? Maybe it’s better to spread the points across multiple abilities? There are pros and cons for the various different strategies for you and the other players to work out.
