I mean, if I were to train someone, I would be a very poor choice to teach them Java, or web development.  I would, however, be a great choice to learn database concepts, SQL, or maybe UNIX.  So, in that sense, I'm not really a 10th level computer programmer.  I'm just a guy with lots of ranks in a few key areas.So, I think it would make more sense to figure out what they were trying to advance in, and then have them seek out individuals who excel in those fields.  So, if the fighter wants to take blindfighting, he might have to seek out the blind hermit who lives in the mountains for that, and then find the ranger to add 2 more points to his wilderness lore skill, and the captain of the guard to add another point to his BAB, etc.Would make training a lot more interesting, and a bit more difficult.</blockquote>
