Over the Edge, for example, doesn't have stats in it; it only has the sort of free-form aspects which are typically associated with FATE. (On the other hand, FATE actually does have stats, in the form of skills - at least one of which determines how many HP you have.)Yes, it is. You earn it for doing stuff, and you spend it to become more powerful. The differences are mostly cosmetic. You can't look at GURPS, or at D&D, and say that either one doesn't have an XP system, because there are other RPGs which actually lack XP of any kind. Exquisite Replicas is an example of a game that doesn't have any sort of experience system.</blockquote>
