'''Experience''' points are the primary measurement of character progress in [[Underrail]]. There are two different experience systems, [[#Classic XP System|Classic]] and [[#Oddity XP System|Oddity]].

== Character level ==
The maximum player character level is '''25'''. Prior to version alpha [[0.1.14.0]], it was 20. In the release versions, there is no way to directly see the levels of non-player characters.

* Level does not directly affect most character's stats. The only stats partially derived from level are [[Combat Stats|health, fortitude, resolve and detection]].
** Characters gain a [[Base Abilities|base ability]] point every '''4''' levels
** Characters gain '''40''' [[Skills|skill]] points every level
** Characters gain a [[Feats|feat]] point every '''2''' levels

* Fortitude, resolve and detection function like skills that get 4-5 points automatically invested into them each level. They get a bonus/penalty from their related base ability just like normal skills do.

* All NPCs have natural dodge and evasion bonus equal to their level.

== Veteran levels ==
{{Expedition}}

In [[Underrail: Expedition]], player characters will be able to level past 25 and become a '''veteran''' character. To gain veteran levels, a character will require significantly more experience (both oddity and classical) than for regular levels.

The maximum veteran level is '''30'''.

* Veteran levels do not increase any derived character stats
** Veterans no longer gain base ability points
** Veterans no longer gain skill points
** Veterans gain a feat point '''''every''''' level, and can also choose from [[:Category:Veteran feats|Veteran feats]]

In '''Classic XP System''', you gain experience by killing enemies, completing quests and utilizing certain skills. This is similar to classic RPG leveling.

The experience needed to level up is completely linear, each level requiring 1000 experience more than the former.

{{main|Oddity XP System}}

In '''Oddity XP System''', you gain experience by collecting [[:Category:oddities|oddities]] scattered across Underrail and by completing quests. Higher end oddities are found in progressively more dangerous and hard to access areas. No experience is granted for skill usage or killing, though some oddities are only dropped by creatures.

The experience needed to level up starts off linear with each level requiring 2 more experience than the former, but stops at 30 XP/level (at level 14).
