Chapter 5 - 5: Floor 1
"Dammit. You have to be kidding me."
A hundred kills into his wholesale slaughter of the motes, Tulland was half of the way to becoming level three. The extra five stat points would be huge at his current level of strength. The first five points and a weapon were enough to demote the motes from a serious threat all the way down to a farmable source of experience. Another five would provide that much more margin of safety in The Infinite.
Except now that was over.
| Experience Source Limited All sources of experience are eventually used up. Dungeon divers who seek to become stronger must seek better and tougher enemies, or else find their progress stalled as they fruitlessly slaughter enemies they have long since dominated. In your case, this effect is much quicker to come into play. As a non-combat class, the experience you can gain from combat sources in general is conditionally capped. Only a certain percentage of the experience needed to progress to the next level may come from combat sources, with a few exceptions. Once you have reached the limit, you may proceed to gain the experience needed to reach your next level in one of just a few ways.
