[QUOTE="clearstream, post: 7516136, member: 71699"] I've been thinking about training. I like the sound of skill checks for time and costs, applied in the following way. Say I require that a named trainer be found, who must be higher level than the trainee. This obviously becomes more difficult and more interesting as characters advanced. Characters then need to show them that they are worth taking on: the named trainer increasing their time and costs if they can't prove themselves. ("[I]You clearly need a lot of practice and are barely worth my effort, but very well then, pay me double and it'll take twice as long![/I]") Characters who find themselves unable to afford the cost can find a different named trainer to try to impress (i.e. they get to reattempt their checks). I think this could have a nice feel, so long as the DM has the stomach to actually block a character who can't afford it from levelling! [/QUOTE]
