• Smart skill selection - Choose which unmarked skills to mark for advancement
• Weakness tracking - Optional rule (disabled by default) with automatic removal dialog when overcome

Flexible Advancement Rolling:

Choose your preferred rolling style with the Advancement Roll Mode setting:

• Bulk Rolling (default) - Roll all marked skills at once with one consolidated summary
  • Fast and efficient for large skill lists
  • Single "Roll All Advancement" button
  • Consolidated session summary in chat
• Individual Rolling - Click each skill to roll them one at a time
  • Perfect for dramatic moments or important skills
  • D20 icon shows skills ready to roll
  • Click any skill to roll it immediately
  • Skills gray out after rolling with checkmark indicator

Both modes include:

• Level 18 cap enforcement - Skills automatically cap at maximum level

Player & GM Controls:

Usage & Workflows

Session Advancement Workflow

End-of-Session Process:

For Players:

1. Click "Session" button on character sheet (up arrow in character sheet header)
2. Answer the advancement questions (each "yes" = 1 skill mark)
3. Select which unmarked skills to mark for advancement
4. Click "Mark Selected Skills" to prepare skills
5. Review all marked skills (from questions + auto-marks from Dragon/Demon rolls)
6. Choose your rolling method:
   • Bulk Mode: Click "Roll All Advancement" → all skills roll at once → view summary
   • Individual Mode: Click each skill to roll → "Complete Session" when done → view summary
7. Session summary posted to chat, journal updated automatically

Example: Bulk Rolling Mode (Default)

Scenario: Player answers 3 "yes" questions and already has 2 skills marked from Dragon rolls during play.

1. Step 1 - Questions: Player answers 3 questions, earning 3 additional marks
2. Step 2 - Selection: Display shows "Advancement Marks Available: 3"
   • Player selects 3 skills from unmarked list
   • Counter updates: 3 → 2 → 1 → 0 as skills are selected
   • Checkmarks turn teal to show new selections
3. Step 3 - Ready to Roll: Shows all 5 marked skills (2 blue = from play, 3 teal = from questions)
4. Rolling: Clicks "Roll All Advancement"
   • System rolls each skill individually
   • Successful rolls increase skill levels
   • Any skill reaching 18 triggers special notification
5. Summary: Chat shows session results with date, marks used, skills advanced

Example: Individual Rolling Mode

Scenario: Same as above, but using individual rolling for important skills.

1. Steps 1-2: Same as bulk mode - answer questions, select 3 skills to mark
2. Step 3 - Ready to Roll: Shows all 5 marked skills with D20 icons
3. Individual Rolling:

   • Clicks "Sneaking" → rolls 8 → skill increases 16 → 17
   • Clicks "Swords" → rolls 19 → no increase (failed)
   • Continues through remaining skills
   • Each roll posts to chat immediately
4. Completion: All skills show checkmarks, clicks "Complete Session"
   • Confirms completion
   • Journal entry created with full session details
