It is a meta setting where characters are involved in a highly fantastic university dedicated to adventuring. The setting is extremely heavy on meta and fourth-wall play, and shifts or subverts several core D&D assumptions (particularly the absolute nature of morality/ethics) - although most mechanics remain the same. | It is a meta setting where characters are involved in a highly fantastic university dedicated to adventuring.

| + | |||
| + | Experience is ''eliminated'' in Amorcul Academy games for PCs. Players instead complete a number of exams, finished up by a Finals Series, to attain each level - upon passing the entire lot (or getting special dispensations), they are granted the rewards of the new level. | ||
| + | |||
| + | To reach each level, a student must first declare their Major and Minor for that level, then completes a number of training sessions equal to their Level per class (sessions can vary in length, but are often longer at higher levels - an on-level job counts as a training session for both courses), completes a series of written exams (some classes have more than others, but all have at least one) and/or projects, and finally take their Finals - a series of practical exams (as trainings, often jobs) equal to a third of their class level (rounded up), plus an additional two for Graduate exams. | ||

| + | (For convenience's sake, the GM may skip the details of this or render them at his detail. Students who are behind/failing may be offered opportunities for alternative passing routes... Often rather unpleasant ones.) | ||
