[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8559224, member: 6987520"] Sounds good! Sure, keeping things separate is a good way to go. If other PCs also have training elsewhere, then there is no issue really. In the past I've had similar situations arise and ran a solo-session or two with the individual player before bringing the whole group back together. If nothing happens to the other PCs, you hand-wave/ narrate it all in a few minutes as you said. Well, you asked why should they receive XP while the Elf was off doing their thing. If they choose to do nothing, they get nothing, and if everyone is fine with that, no issue. I was just suggested what [I]could be done[/I] if they wanted to get some XP as well. LOL me neither! The PCs in my games were all over the place. Here is a screen shot of the class/levels for our last major AD&D game... [ATTACH type="full" width="341px"]152589[/ATTACH] Ranging from 9th to 15th... The laggards because players joining later, others because they missed sessions (if a player can't play, but another player will take over the PC for the session, the PC is awarded half XP), etc. Finally, a house-rule I did have for AD&D was this: during "time off" like you described, I award the PCs 1 xp / level / day.
