===Free-form advancement===
{{See also|Character point}}
Free-form advancement is used by many role-playing systems including ''[[GURPS]]'', ''[[Hero System]]'' or the ''[[World of Darkness]]'' series. It allows the player to select which skills to advance by allocating "points". Each character attribute is assigned a price to improve, so for example it might cost a character 2 points to raise an [[archery]] skill one notch, 10 points to raise overall [[dexterity]] by one, or it might cost 20 points to learn a new [[Spell (gaming)|magic spell]].

Players are typically free to spend points however they choose. Some games simplify free-form advancement by offering ''packages'' or ''templates'' of pre-selected ability sets.
