YOUR CHARACTER ATE A DEVIL FRUIT BEFORE BEING INTRODUCED TO
THE PARTY, CONSIDER INCORPORATING HOW YOU GOT THE POWER AND
HOW IT IMPACTS YOUR DAILY LIFE INTO YOUR BACKGROUND. IT IS UP TO
YOU HOW YOU WANT TO INCORPORATE THE THEME OF YOUR DEVIL
FRUIT INTO YOUR CHARACTER.

OFFICIAL CAMPAIGN SESSION TO DISCUSS CHARACTER SETUP. THIS IS
USUALLY CALLED SESSION 0. WITH THE HELP OF YOUR DUNGEON
MASTER AND FELLOW PLAYERS, TRY TO DECIDE HOW YOU WANT YOUR
CHARACTERS TO MESH TOGETHER. DOES EVERYONE IN THE PARTY/CREW
KNOW EACH OTHER BEFORE THE CAMPAIGN STARTS? DOES YOUR
BACKSTORY INCLUDE ANY OF THE OTHER PLAYER CHARACTERS OR
NPCS? HOW WILL YOUR CHARACTER'S BACKGROUND AND CURRENT
OCCUPATION FIT INTO THE CREW'S GOALS AND THE STORY? THESE ARE
ALL IMPORTANT QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELVES AND ESPECIALLY THE
DM.

1st level and beyond

BY EXPLORING THE ONE PIECE WORLD AND FIGHTING YOUR WAY
THROUGH VARIOUS FORCES, YOUR CHARACTERS WILL START TO DEVELOP
NEW STRATEGIES AND GROW STRONGER OVER TIME. EACH TIME A
MAJOR ADVANCEMENT OCCURS, EITHER DUE TO REACHING A SPECIFIC
NUMBER OF EXPERIENCE POINTS OR REACHING A MILESTONE IN
THE STORY, YOU WILL GAIN A CHARACTER LEVEL.
FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU START AT LEVEL 1 WITH 0 EXPERIENCE
POINTS AND GAIN ENOUGH EXPERIENCE OVER THE COURSE OF A
SESSION TO MAKE YOUR WAY TO LEVEL 2, YOU WILL MARK THIS ON
YOUR CHARACTER SHEET AND UPGRADE YOUR STATS ACCORDINGLY
DURING YOUR NEXT LONG REST. ADDITIONALLY, YOUR DM MAY
DECIDE TO USE A MILESTONE SYSTEM BY GRANTING YOU A LEVEL UP
UPON REACHING A NEW AREA OR ISLAND, COMPLETING AN IMPORTANT
OBJECTIVE, OR OBTAINING A KEY ITEM OR TREASURE.

level tiers during the adventure

DURING THE JOURNEY, THE DM MAY DECIDE TO STRUCTURE THE
PACING AND LEVEL ADVANCEMENT THROUGHOUT THE ADVENTURE TO
GIVE THE FEELING OF PROGRESSION TO PLAYERS. BY DECIDING LEVEL
TIERS FOR CERTAIN AREAS IN THE WORLD, IT WILL BE EASY TO BALANCE
ENEMIES AND NPCS IN WAYS THAT ALIGN WITH PLAYER
PROGRESSION.
THE FIRST TIER (LEVELS 1-4) WILL BE FOR VERY EARLY EXPLORATION
THROUGHOUT THE SEAS OUTSIDE OF THE GRAND LINE, INCLUDING THE
NORTH BLUE, EAST BLUE, SOUTH BLUE, AND WEST BLUE. IT WOULD
BE WISE TO START IN ONE OF THESE SEAS, PREFERABLY A FAIR DISTANCE
AWAY FROM REVERSE MOUNTAIN AND THE GRAND LINE. PLAYER
CHARACTERS WILL BE FAIRLY WEAK AT THIS TIER, AND WILL ONLY
ENCOUNTER MINOR ENEMIES AND CHALLENGES UNTIL THEY REACH THE
GRAND LINE.
THE SECOND TIER (LEVELS 5-10) WILL BE WHERE MOST OF THE FIRST
HALF OF THE CAMPAIGN TAKES PLACE, IN A PORTION OF THE GRAND
LINE CALLED "PARADISE". THIS WILL BE WHERE MANY MID-TIER
PIRATES AND POWERFUL MEMBERS OF THE NAVY RESIDE. THE SEA
AND VARIOUS ISLANDS WILL BE DIFFICULT TO TRAVERSE, WITH SEA
MONSTERS AND EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS CONSTANTLY
BOMBARDING YOUR TRAVEL AT RANDOM. SURVIVING TO THE END OF
PARADISE SHOULD PROVE TO BE A CHALLENGE AND FEEL LIKE AN
AMAZING ACCOMPLISHMENT UPON COMPLETING THE END. HOWEVER,
THE NEXT TWO STAGES SHOULD FEEL FAR MORE THREATENING.
THE THIRD TIER (LEVELS 11-15) IS WHERE PLAYERS WILL START
FACING EXTREMELY OVERWHELMING CHALLENGES. MAKING YOUR WAY
INTO THE SECOND HALF OF THE GRAND LINE, CALLED THE NEW WORLD,
THE PARTY SHOULD BE FACING UNIMAGINABLY POWERFUL PIRATE
CREWS CALLED THE YONKO (OR FOUR EMPERORS). THE WEATHER AND
ISLANDS HERE ARE EVEN MORE THREATENING THAN THE FIRST HALF OF
THE GRAND LINE, ENOUGH FOR A MAJORITY OF CREWS TO PERISH UPON
INITIALLY REACHING THIS AREA. THIS WILL BE THE STAGE WHERE
