Advancement

Momenta Core Rules · Moment 2 · Characters · Chapter 13

Characters gain new ranks by banking merits during downtime (see Merits and Tiers of Play). When a character receives a new character rank, they can deploy the rank onto one of their existing archetypes to improve it, or spend the rank to acquire R1 on a new archetype.

As character ranks increase, attributes, mastery slots, and Vigor will also increase:

• Attribute increase - At every even rank from character rank 4, the character can choose to gain +1 to an attribute of their choice. This will also raise the core value, increase the number of mastery slots, as well as update any stats that are derived from the attribute/core increase. This can cause an individual attribute to exceed the limit of 3 during character creation, but the equilibrium rule needs to be applied here.
• Wildcard slots - At each multiple of 5 character ranks, gain +1 wildcard mastery slot.
• Bonus Vigor - Starting from character rank 7, and for each multiple of 7 character ranks, gain +1 Vigor cap.

This table summarizes all the different advancements at each character rank. Bolded cells mark “new at this rank.”
