Rise Above It
Another thing about character advancement is what the character does when it hits the level cap. What I’m talking about here is ascension. Once again, a little info for the uninitiated: Some games have an “extra” feature beyond leveling, and that’s ascension. What it means is that once a character reaches a certain level it has the option to ascend. This doesn’t have to apply only to level-based games with level caps – the character doesn’t have to ascend – the player could keep playing it to hunt for loot (if there’s a cap) or keep leveling it (if there is no cap), but the option to ascend will be given. Ascension usually means that the character goes back to level 1, but with certain bonuses. It could be slightly higher stats, or faster xp gains, or retaining a certain skill. It could basically be anything.
