[QUOTE="LadyDM, post: 2030857, member: 28426"] The character was working on being like a Zen master and as part of the story line, was studying with a master to attain a hghr level of concentration and abilities. The player and I talked about how he could get the abilities he wanted and he agreed that the charater would be servant to a master for 10 years to learn wha the could to be a master himself. A few weeks later, he didn't want to be a servant for very long, (it was too boring, not enough action) but wanted the abilities. So I had the character study books to do the same thing. the character would have to spend a certain number of hours reading then roll to be sure he gained the knowledge. He was able to concentrate for a full round and the next round, he would gain a +1 to anything he rolled for. My thought was that as he progressed in his studies, he would get higher bonuses to his rolls and that the time would also increase. I advised the player that this was the plan for the character to progress and he agreed. I placed libraries around in major cities that had the books needed and also as part of the storyline, he could check out the books for a limited time. The player never went to the libraries and didn't want to spend the time reading, he just wanted the ability. I feel I was more than accomodating to the player and the character to meet his expectations and make it fun for him as well as the rest of the players. [/QUOTE]
