In bidding, the component of a bid or contract (the other being denomination) which indicates how many odd tricks are to be made. Since six book tricks are not taken into account, there is total 13 (available tricks) – 6 (book tricks) = 7 levels. Thus, e.g. contracts on level 4 indicate taking of 6+4 = 10 tricks.

(1) the number of tricks contracted for (e.g.: the one level comprises bids that contract for seven tricks; thus, it includes the bids one club, one diamond one heart, one spade and one notrump).(2) in an auction, the distance between consecutive bids in the same strain (e.g.: two spades is one level above one spade); five steps(3) the attribute of a bid (or contract) that describes whether it is a part-score, game or slam.

Creatures without archetypes have a level based on their species. They grow into this level as they mature. A creature with a level of “5” will have the benefit of fifth level as a creature if full grown, and less if not full grown. Some creatures have a bonus or penalty after their level. This is the number of additional survival points that creature receives (or that the creature loses) per survival point die. This modifier also applies to Health, Fortitude, Endurance, and Strength rolls. For example, orcs have 2+1 listed for level. This means that the average orc will get two dice for survival points, and another +1 per die, for a total of 2d8+2 survival points (fantastic creatures gain d8 survival points per level). The average orc will also gain a bonus of 1 on Health rolls, Fortitude rolls, Endurance rolls, and Strength rolls. Individual creatures may have greater or lesser bonuses as desired. Note that no survival die can produce less than 1 point, regardless of penalties. When level is listed as 1/2 or 1/4, this means a d4 or a d2 for survival points, respectively. The creature is otherwise treated as a level one creature.
