Adult Balanced characters that have not OOC attended Penwick start with 58AP and gain +3AP annually (on July 1st) until the hard cap of 96AP is reached.
If you do not have any cap-breaking abilities and can only invest 13 AP in each Aptitude, your adult character will be soft-locked when they reach 78 Aptitude Points, as there won't be any aptitudes left to invest in. This means that your annual +3AP will be discarded until you take a cap-breaking ability.
The progression for Adult Balanced Professors is the same as that of any adult, with one difference. You gain +3AP per year like every other adult character, but Adult Professors start with 70AP from the get-go. If a veteran character who already has more than 70AP becomes a Professor, they simply keep the AP they already have.
