Experience is only relevant for existing characters; if you want to start a new character, have a look at Jedi Creation

You can improve your Jedi by gaining and spending experience points (called ).

is gained by participating in missions. Short missions usually give 2-3, and long missions usually give 4-6. The Storyteller running the mission will announce the reward at the start of the mission.

Storytellers can decide to hand out a bonus reward for a job well done, or for the heroic actions of particular individuals. This might be in experience points as well.

XP can be spent on the following:

• Attributes: 2 per dot
• Force Powers: 3 per rank (both for learning new powers, and for improving already known powers)
• Combat Styles: 3 per style
• Special Maneuvres: 3 per maneuvre
• Skills: 1 per dot

• Force Level 11 and higher: 50 per Force level (levels 0 through 10 are 'free', see Increasing Force Level)

For example, if you have 5 unspent , you could buy, for example:

• 2 attributes
• 5 skills
• 2 skills and 1 force power
• 2 skills and 1 combat manoeuvre
• 2 skills and 1 combat style.

You can only increase your force level and rank indirectly. Details are on the Force Level page.
