experience points
Leveling progress measure
Experience points are a numerical measure of progress in video games and tabletop role-playing games.
Players accumulate them by completing tasks, defeating enemies, or achieving objectives.
When enough points accrue, a character advances to a higher level, gaining new abilities or improved stats: I need 500 more XP to level up.
Often abbreviated XP or EP.
