 Each paragon level on an account will grant each character on the account 1 paragon point to spend on various bonuses. Read that again; if a player has 50 paragon points to distribute and 6 softcore characters, each one of the 6 gets the full 50 points. The points are not shared between characters; each character gets the full amount.  The only differentiation is between [[Hardcore]] and Softcore, since Paragon levels and points are not shared between HC and SC.
 The points can be spent on various properties in the four different tabs. Players initially anticipated the freedom of being able to dump all of their points into whatever bonus they wished, but by mid-September 2013 the plan was to award paragon points that had to be spent in sequence between the 4 tabs, rather than all stacked into the same tab or specific bonus:[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/travis-day-shares-diablo-3-paragon-2-0-details]

+Paragon 2.0 refers to a redesign of the [[Paragon]] system, due sometime in 2014, shortly before the release of the Diablo 3 [[Reaper of Souls]] expansion pack. The system is still under development, but many details have been revealed since the system was first explained in detail at Gamescom 2013.
 Paragon 2.0 will still work as an [[end game]] feature, providing players with a way to continue earning levels and experience even once their characters have reached max level. There are several major changes to the system:
 * All experience earned by max level characters will count towards an account-wide Paragon level. This level, rather than the individual character levels, will award [[paragon points]] that can be spent on '''''all''''' characters; not just the specific character who earned the experience.
-** The Paragon levels earned and points awarded to Hardcore and Softcore characters are tracked separately. Since Paragon levels are account wide, the experience gained by Hardcore characters remains even after the characters die.
+** The Paragon levels earned and points awarded to Hardcore and Softcore characters are tracked separately. Since Paragon levels are for the account, Hardcore players will not lose Paragon levels or points even if/when their individual characters die.
 * Paragon points allow for a great deal of character customization, with specific bonuses that can be assigned to things like [[attributes]], offensive stats including [[CC]], [[CD]], and [[AS]], defensive stats like blocking %, and general properties like [[Faster Movement]] and [[Pickup Radius]].
-* There is no maximum paragon level (though the individual bonuses have varying hard caps).
+* There is no maximum paragon level (though the individual bonuses may have varying hard caps).
-* The Paragon levels earned by all existing characters will be added into the system when it goes live.
+* The Paragon experience earned by all existing characters will be added into the system when it goes live.
 ** Characters at Paragon 100 do not earn experience currently, so any play time with them prior to Paragon 2.0 is "wasted" in terms of exp gain.
-** Exp earned by Hardcore characters who die before Paragon 2.0 goes live will probably not be counted.
+** Exp earned by all Hardcore characters on an account, dead or alive, will probably be added into the Paragon level when Paragon 2.0 goes live.
-Full details have not yet been finalized for the system, and many questions remain. How much experience is required for paragon levels, how many points are awarded per level, if there are individual character bonuses as well as account bonuses, etc.
+Many questions remain, and the system is still under development, but the basic functions have been confirmed by Blizzard as essentially set in stone.

 One obvious objection to the Sharagon system is that eventually players will need a great deal of experience to advance another Paragon level, and this would lead to a very static feeling. Many players have suggested some sort of individual character level system along with the account wide Paragon 2.0 system, but Blizzard hasn't said anything on that front. Their solution to the problem seems to be a ladder season system, which will periodically reset paragon levels for players who wish to opt in.
-Details are not yet finalized, but the design seems to be that a player with say, 134 Paragon levels on their account could choose to create new characters in the new ladder, and those characters would not have access to the pre-existing account Paragon points. Those characters would thus start out at Paragon Level 0, and gain Paragon points rapidly with levels, giving players a feeling of accomplishment and progress. Ladders would run for an unknown amount of time (probably for a few months) and at the end of that time all Paragon level experience earned would be added to the non-ladder Paragon level experience. Thus players would not lose any of their experience or progress for non-ladder characters.
+Details are not yet finalized, but the design seems to be that a player with say, 134 Paragon levels on their account could choose to create new characters in the new ladder season, and those characters would not have access to the pre-existing account Paragon points. Those characters would thus start out at Paragon Level 0, and gain Paragon points as they leveled up, giving players a feeling of accomplishment and progress. Ladders would run for an unknown amount of time (probably for a few months) and when each ladder season ended the ladder characters and their paragon points would be returned and added to the general non-ladder population.
 Ladders would presumably work as they do in Diablo 2 in terms of giving players a fresh economy, with non-ladder items not transferring over to new characters in the new ladder. Then, when the ladder season ends all the experience and items become non-ladder again and merge together. Andrew Day commented on the ladder system in early September, 2013.[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/travis-day-on-paragon-2-0-and-ladders]
