== Tiers ==
Great devotion to attributes bear fruit in the long run. By training specific attributes day in and day out and sacrificing all other privileges (like not having an HP above 100 at level 20) does have its benefits. Progressing through a set of tiers allows the player to gauge him or herself against all odds. Stats can be vocalized more easily by using tiers, e.g. “I have Tier 2 Endurance” (which sounds way cooler than saying “I’m level 10!”). At Tier 5 and above, you are considered Epic in that area, e.g. “I have Epic Strength!” There is a formula for generating the tier bonuses, the bonuses and math are briefly explained in Figure 3 - Tiers below, and it’s not nearly as complicated as it sounds.
