This is the command used to advance your character. Advancement may only occur in a designated training area. You will also need to have enough experience for that next level! Designated training areas include churches, healers, relic collectors, taverns, and rooms with boards
When your character has enough experience to advance to levels 10, 20, 30 and 40 you may instead choose to advance in another class, by typing advance advance NEW CLASS. You will retain all of the abilities of your current class and you will get any new abilities that your new class allows. Only certain class and race combinations are allowed. Please see the individual help files for your race and the class that you would like to become for more information.
The advance class special command can be used to fix missing class settings. You might use this command if you, for example, multiclass into an oracle and need to set your new mystery.
