What is your preferred method of character improvement and why?
We are currently playing Hoard of the Dragon Queen with the D&D 5e rules. Our DM is letting us level up after each session. This is probably my favorite method of character improvement. It is quick and simple. It allows for our characters to grow and progress through the story. Also, no one has to count or keep track of xp. I am definitely going to put this method in my GM tool kit.
My second favorite method of character improvement is from Call of Cthulhu. I love how characters get to roll to improve skills at the end of an adventure, and that the higher a skill is the harder it is to improve it. The Call of Cthulhu method feels the most realistic to me.
