Ĭharacter advancement refers to the improvement of a character's statistics later in the game. Often during play, only a character's appearance is explicitly described, while other traits are characterized indirectly, with the exact statistics known to the character's player and the game master, but not necessarily other players. In its most comprehensive form, it includes not only a game-specific representation of the character's physical, mental, psychological and social properties in terms of statistics, but also often less formal descriptions of the character's physical appearance, personality, personal back-story ("background"), and possessions. The result of character creation is a direct characterization that is recorded on a character sheet.
