Everyone starts the game with a Basic ability or goal. Through successful use or completion of this goal, you upgrade to an Intermediate ability or goal, successfully use or complete that ability/goal and you upgrade to Advanced. Some abilities may instead choose to defer, which will give an unblockable version of the same level ability the following cycle (if you are able to defer it will be noted in your role card, and the decision to defer must be actively made–forgetting to submit an action will not count as a deferral). Successfully using an ability after deferring will still upgrade you to the next level.
Example 1
Successfully use Basic ability on n1. Upgrade to new Intermediate ability. Unsuccessful use on N2, successful use on N3. Upgrade to new Advanced ability.
Example 2
Defer basic ability N1. N2 successful use of unblockable Basic ability. Upgrade to new Intermediate ability. Successful use n3. Upgrade to new Advanced ability.
