Your character progresses just like a normal D&D character. The adventures are set up for certain level ranges, and you are not allowed to play outside of that range.  They also have rules governing how many and what level of magic items your character can have.  Before 4th edition, the options availabe to your character were really restrictive, and you had to earn special cards for some options.  Thankfully, most options that are not specific to non-FR campaigns are legal now.  I hope that answers your questions.</p></blockquote><p></p>
