Individual xp-based levelling only.  No milestone levelling, no at-the-DM's-discretion levelling.Edit to add: just thought of a #12:12. Dying and then coming back to life permanently costs you a point of Constitution.* - the fixed hit point gain after name level is, on closer look, for each class the closest integer to half the average roll on that class' original hit dice.</blockquote>
