How to level up?
How do characters level up by the original numenera rules? I know, 4 ep and then I have to upgrade 4 different things, but when can I use the new rank of my focus?

Leveling up in CS1 and CS2 are both similar. 4xp per advancement, with the fourth one increasing your Tier.
In CS1 you receive all relevant abilities from Focus, and however many your Type gives.
In CS2 it depends on the setup you're using, and we dont know the specifics for Numenera yet. But it'll only be abilities from your Focus and General(genre) list. Your Type is all front loaded now.
Keep in mind we haven't seen Numenera specific content released for 2nd edition yet. But since it uses the new Cypher books for its core mechanics, we have a good idea of it.
