User:Documentalist/Character level calculation (Skyrim)

Skill level and character experience
For each level a skill gains, The Dragonborn gains an amount of character experience (XPcharacter) equal to the new level of the skill. This is true for all skills and all skill levels. The initial value of the XPcharacter is 0.

Character experience and character level
If the amount of XPcharacter passes a certain limit, the character levels up. The limit to reach character level n is 12.5*n2 + 62.5*n - 75 XPcharacter.

Personal experience
I keep track of all my skill level and character level-ups. Although I'm only character level 30, none of these level changes violated the these rules.

Level 81 cap
These rules support what I read about the level cap that was removed with the patch 1.9, refer to question and answer 5 and 6.
