Firstly Characters should be given the ability to re-align Levels unless you are playing strict role-playing, 'hardcore', or Low Fantasy style game. The GameMaster (GM) should clearly explain to Players before they create their Characters what style of game they will be playing and if they will be able to retrain there Proficiency Tree.

	For games where this is possible (which should be the default) here are a few rules.		For games where this is possible (which should be the default) here are a few rules.

	The exception to the rules above can come in the form of Classes. A Class may have a restriction on how many points in a Proficiency Tree Branch a Character can have. An example is the [[Advance_Classes#Dimension_Knight\|Dimension Knight]] which can only have 1 point in the Ranged Weapon Branch. Instead of making this an impossible or clumsy to surpass requirement in this case the Character can freely retrain to meet the requirement. This is not to reorder the Levels in the Tree if you do not have enough. '''ONLY''' for if you have too much in one branch! However you can only retrain the amount you have to lose. This counts as your retraining for this level which means you cannot also move around any other levels.		The exception to the rules above can come in the form of Classes.

	All Characters have a '''Proficiency Tree'''. The Tree has multiple '''Branches'''. The Branches are '''Technology''', '''Melee Combat''', '''Ranged Combat''', '''Armor''', '''Power Armor''' and '''Item Use'''. A Character can choose to train in one or more Branches which in turn allows that Character to use better and better equipment associated with that Branch.

Also if Armor has an attribute such as 'Exotic', 'Clumsy', or 'Masterworked' then it requires an additional Proficiency Level to wield. This does not stack so if the Armor has all 3 attributes it still only takes 1 additional Proficiency level to wear.		* The Armor Branch Proficiency Level determines the Armor max AC bonus/Level of the Armor (If the Armor has +2 AC because it sacrificed an AC bonus for DR then the Armor still counts as level 3 or +3 Armor).
