+====== Hero Level ======
+{{ rpd:images:warrior_hero.png|Hero Level }}
+**Hero Level** refers to the experience level of the player character in Remixed Dungeon. The hero level affects various game mechanics, character capabilities, and progression.
+==== Experience and Leveling ====
+Experience is gained primarily from defeating enemies. The amount of experience required to reach the next level depends on the game difficulty:
+  * **Normal/High Difficulty (difficulty > 0)**: 5 + (current level × 5) experience per level
+  * **Easy Difficulty (difficulty = 0)**: 5 + (current level × 4) experience per level
+This means on normal difficulty:
+  * Level 1 → 2: 10 EXP
+  * Level 2 → 3: 15 EXP
+  * Level 3 → 4: 20 EXP
+  * Level 10 → 11: 55 EXP
+  * Level 20 → 21: 105 EXP
+On easy difficulty, requirements are slightly lower (4 EXP per level instead of 5).
+==== Level-Up Benefits ====
+Upon leveling up, the hero gains:
+  * **+5 maximum HP** (ht increases by 5)
+  * **Immediate heal of 5 HP**
+  * **Increased awareness** (chance to detect hidden traps/doors) up to level 10
+  * **+1 skill point** (every level if max skill points > 0)
+  * **Skill point accumulation** (max skill points / 3 added to current skill points)
+==== Class-Specific Level-Up Effects ====
+  * **Gnoll**: Gains a skill level every 5 levels (levels 5, 10, 15, etc.)
+  * **Warlock**: On level-up, heals min(max HP - current HP, 1 + (depth - 1) / 5) and satisfies 10 hunger
+  * **Lich**: If at max skill points when dying, can resurrect once (consumes all skill points)
+==== Mechanics Affected by Hero Level ====
+  * **HP**: Base HP increases by 5 per level (modified by class starting HP)
+  * **Awareness**: Increases with level up to level 10, formula: `1 - (0.85 for Rogue / 0.90 for others)^((1 + min(level, 9)) * 0.5)`
+  * **Spell scaling**: Some spells scale with caster's skill level (which is separate from hero level but related)
+  * **Kunai Throw**: Damage scales with caster level
+  * **Enemy scaling**: Some enemy stats scale relative to dungeon depth/hero level
+  * **Death statistics**: Hero level is recorded in death events for analytics
+==== Skill Points and Magic Level ====
+  * **Skill Points (SP)**: Used for learning skills/talents, max SP increases by 1 per level (if > 0)
+  * **Magic Level (skillLevel)**: Separate from hero level; increases via specific items (Tome of Mastery, etc.) or class mechanics
+  * **SP accumulation**: On level-up, current SP increases by maxSP / 3 (rounded down)

+==== Content Verification ====
+  * **Source**: Java class `Hero.java` in `com.watabou.pixeldungeon.actors.hero`
+  * **EXP formula verified**: `expToLevel()` returns 5 + lvl() * 5 (difficulty > 0) or 5 + lvl() * 4 (difficulty = 0)
+  * **Level-up benefits verified**: +5 max HP, heal 5, awareness update, skill points
+  * **Class specifics verified**: Gnoll skill level every 5 levels, Warlock heal/hunger, Lich resurrection
+  * **Awareness formula**: `1 - (class_factor)^((1 + min(lvl, 9)) * 0.5)` where class_factor = 0.85 for Rogue, 0.90 for others
+  * **Last updated**: Based on code analysis
