		<description>&quot;Skill based system, I guess? Or maybe neither...&quot;

It&#039;s not that there are no levels, there&#039;s just no &quot;next&quot; level.  I see it as a smooth gradient.  What comes after gray, but before black?  Gray of a slightly different description.  Actually, that&#039;s a pretty accurate portrayal of &quot;taking X to the next level&quot;, historically.</description>
