    Gaining experience
    ==============================================

    The principle way for your character to gain experience (XP) is to kill
    monsters.
    There are a few other ways too, like lockpicking, but these only give small
    rewards.

    Once your character has gained enough experience to go up a level, then he/she
    should will be given skill points to spend as you see fit. These points can be
    spent on
    either

        (a) Skills which improve more for each point you put into them,
    or
        (b) Abilities which are one off purchases and grant your character new,
        non-improvable powers

    Certain monsters can "drain" your experience, and thus your level. Although you
    do not lose the skill points you've already gained, you also will not gain
    further points until you reach a character level you have not already
    achieved. Luckily, you can restore drained experience through magical means,
    or by simply regaining the experience all over again.
