   *One hero point can be banked at the beginning of the session and can likewise be retrieve from bank if the player has no Hero points.
   *A Limit of 2 Hero Points are handed out each end of session
+  *Players can only hold 1 Hero Point at a time

 **Hero Point Buy Back Initiative** \\
 Not everyone is super keen on spontaneous on the fly Role play thinking and action. So there will be special NPC's in the game that will accept a Hero Point as a currency, allowing the player redeeming it to gain a boon of some sort, normally in the form of Gold but there could be other items available. Its supposed to be secretive, but for basics there will be a hidden roll made on a table of boons, treasure, tips or other rewards. They can be as little as 10 gold or as much as **[REDACTED]**. its up to the players if they want to save their hero point for a critical moment or cash it in for a random reward.
+  ***XP Catch Up:** Players who have missed sessions will also likely miss out on XP. Using a Hero Point Players who have missed a certain number of sessions will be able to cash in their hero point for some base __Collected XP__. This amount is a flat amount determined by the DM and should not be expected to equally match the missed XP but its better than 0.
 **Tips for Using Hero Points** \\ Never plan your hero point use. its supposed to used for a major heroic moment or to correct a major mistake in the moment. Thinking and reacting in the moment is the key to good Hero Point use. and a Hero point's success is entirely based off how well your role play and how a hero point can be justified wither with logic, entertainment or both.

+=== 17) XP Leveling & Levelling Up Montage ===
 //Taken from Viva Dirt League's NPC D&D cause its a cool idea.// \\
-Xp is collected by players defeating monsters, completing tasks/quests or other sources. but collected XP is not permanent until an 'Extended Rest' is complete. \\
+Rather than leveling up when the DM determines is a good time to level up (Milestones) Instead this is a more Traditional RPG form of leveling up. Xp is collected by players defeating monsters, completing tasks/quests or other sources. but collected XP is not permanent until an 'Extended Rest' is complete. \\
+  *Players will receive 'Collected XP' as an item in their inventory.
   *Any collected XP is converted to Gained XP at the completion of an 'Extended Rest'
     *Gained XP enables the character to level up
   *If a character reaches 0hp and falls unconscious because of it they loose Half their total collected XP (XP still yet to be converted by an 'Extended Rest')
+**XP Catch Up:** Players who have missed sessions and so missed Collected XP have an option to cash in a Hero point for some of the missed XP, see __Rule 7__ above for more details.
+**Examples of getting XP** \\
+  *a party of 7 defeat a combat encounter with 5 bandits.
+  *Each bandit is worth 10 XP (50 Xp Total)
+  *50 XP is divided between the 7 players (Rounding Down) each party member recives 7 'Collected' XP
+  *Players complete an 'Extended Rest' (7 Days) any 'Collected' XP in their inventory is converted to earned XP and fills up the Xp bar.
+Xp can also be earned from completing quests, solving situations without combat, Finding secrets, Other tasks the DM deems worthy
+  ***Only Active Players get XP**
+  *Only players participating in the event that earns XP (Combat, quest, etc) will get XP, if players are not attending the session or the party has split up then only the participating players will get XP,
+//Note: XP amounts from creatures may be raised or lessened depending on the DM's decision, do not assume the XP amount for a combat creature or completed quest. There may be times where a flat amount of experience is given to each player rather than dividing a total or there may be times where a player has performed exceptional or key actions/Role Play during an event netting them Bonus XP.//
 **Actually Levelling Up**
-Once a character has Gained XP enough for a level up they must complete a levelling up montage over a number of days equal to the level they are levelling up to (Minimum of 3 Days)
+Once a character has Gained XP enough for a level up they must complete a levelling up montage over a number of days equal to the level they are levelling up to (Minimum of 3 Days) //NOTE: Level up must be done separately to your extended rest used to earn enough XP for the level up//
   ***Example:** Levelling up from 5 to 6 the character must complete a 6 Day 'Training Montage' before the level up takes effect.
