Character Progression Outside Of Leveling

Everyone loves a good level-up—but when they happen too fast, they stop meaning anything. And more importantly, your pacing? It goes straight out the window.. In this video, I share why slowing down character progression might be the best thing you can do for your long term campaign—and how to still reward your players with meaningful, story-driven growth between the levels. From feats earned through roleplay to evolving magic items, social status, mentorship, and flavorful boons, I’ll walk you through a general idea of the tools you can use to advance your players without touching the XP chart. If your campaign’s pacing feels off, or if you want to make character development feel more personal, grounded, and earned—this video is for you. Enjoy the video? Found this helpful?
