Star Wars: Experience

Dan and I talked briefly about some ideas for how to award, spend, and in general work experience. Originally we brought up the thought of keeping with levels, per D20, but I think we both talked our way out of it. At least for the most part. Tracking levels certainly has a certain satisfaction that white wolf games don't match, but we felt the sudden boost of abilities was unrealistic and overall less fun. So we proposed that experience be distributed and spent very similar to the whitewolf games we currently play. We did bring up the possibility of still level tracking, and perhaps making levels prerequisites to certain merits/feats or awarding class only powers by level. And example might be that 20 total exp is level 2, and that a level 2 Scoundrel receives some sort of sneak attack ability. (this is not to imply that we should have a sneak attack ability, simply an example of something that might be class only)
