RULES AND QUESTS

EXPERIENCE, DANGER LEVEL, AND SKILLS
For each Zombie killed, a Survivor gains one experience
point and moves up a notch on his Danger Bar. Some Quest
objectives provide more experience, as does eliminating
Abominations.
There are four Danger Levels on the Danger Bar: Blue, Yellow,
Orange, and Red. These represent everything from a light
drizzle of Zombies to a flash flood.
At each Danger Level, the Survivor gains one new Skill to
help him on his Quest (see Skills, page 51). Skills add to each
other across Danger Levels: at Red Level, your Survivor will
have four Skills. As new Skills are unlocked, place new markers
on the Survivor Dashboard to indicate it.
• When a Survivor reaches 7 experience points, his Danger
Level moves to Yellow. He gains a fourth Action.
• When a Survivor gets 19 experience points, his Danger Level
moves to Orange. He gains one of the two Skills indicated on
his ID Card, your choice.
• At 43 experience points, his Danger Level moves to Red.
Choose one of the three Skills indicated on his ID Card.
This experience has a side effect, however. When you draw
a Zombie card to spawn Zombies, read the line that corresponds
to the Survivor still in play with the highest Danger
Level (see Zombie Spawn, page 25). The stronger your Survivor
is, the more Zombies appear.
