Leveling

Goals and Ambitions (specifically Goals) and whenever the GM damn well pleases are how players gain XP (experience points).
Players must spend 4 XP to gain a level, with each XP spent on 1 of 4 of the following options, each option may only be taken once per CL.
- 2 points to put in your HP or Pool (+1 each, +2 PP, or +2 HP)
- A point to put into a single Stat Score. An individual Stat Score can't exceed 20 until CL 6, 22 until CL 12, and 24 until CL 18 (including bonuses gained from feats).
- A single Minor Feat that you qualify for
- Once the previous three options have been taken, you must now spend your next XP gained on leveling up to your next CL

Upon leveling up to CL 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 15, 17, 18, and 19 you gain an additional bonus Major or Minor Feat (every odd CL and 6, 12 and 18).
Your CL impacts total HP, your total Pool Points, and the effects of spells and abilities (including unarmed fighting), so players should make sure to update those upon gaining a level.
