Some game systems require that each new advancement of a character be performed in a rigid sequence. This is because the cost of increasing individual facets of the character go up as the character gets better. When a game system requires structured advancement, the "advancement" element can be defined to specify fundamental behaviors associated with the advancement. The complete list of attributes for an advancement element is below.

:{| class="infotable"
|class="leftnormal"|enable
|(Optional) Boolean – Indicates whether a serialized advancement mechanism is used for the game system. Default: "no".
|-
|creationterm
|(Optional) Text – Specifies the term presented to the user when referring to the initial mode where a new character is being created. Default: "creation".
|-
|advancementterm
|(Optional) Text – Specifies the term presented to the user when referring to the post-creation mode where a character's advancement is serialized. Default: "advancement".
|-
|}

The "advancement" element also possesses child elements that describe additional facets of the advancement behavior. The list of child elements for an advancement element is below. Click on the links to access the details for each element.

==Example==

The following example demonstrates what an "advancement" element might look like. All default values are assumed for omitted optional attributes.

<pre>
<advancement
enable="yes"
creationterm="starting"
advancementterm="improving">
<canadvance><![CDATA[
if (#resleft[resCP] <> 0) then

]]></canadvance>

<transition><![CDATA[
if (#iscreate[@newmode] = 1) then
@message = "Now Creating!"
else
@message = "Now Advancing!"
endif
]]></transition>

</advancement>
