[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 5124852, member: 29398"] Exactly. Have a few benefits kick in when the actual ExP value ticks over, and the rest not kick in untuil training. We have it that on ExP tick-over you roll your new h.p. and gain half; and you also have one more level to feed to the undead. You don't gain any new skills, spells, etc. until you train. Or, the DM says "You train for a month. During that month, rumours reach you that Dr. Evil has moved his main base of operations from Mount Erupto (where you just came from) into one of the glaciers in the North Range; nobody is sure exactly which one. This move seems to have been prompted by continued interruptions from a group of mercenaries (i.e. you lot) intent on thwarting his plans. In other news, the lizardfolk invasion you turned away from in order to get to Dr. Evil appears to have been mostly dealt with by another company of mercenaries from the west, but reports indicate this mercenary group is becoming troublesome in its own right and might have to be faced down at some point. [etc. etc. etc. for several minutes...] And by the way, you've gained a level." The world does not stop while the PCs train, and this forces them to make choices - train and become more powerful and give the enemy time to do their thing, or forego training and get after 'em now even though without training they might not be quite up to the task.
