[QUOTE="Lord Ben, post: 170190, member: 1396"] Someone had a system where an NPC of X level would roll a die and if the die was higher then his level then he gained a level. You roll once per year. So if you have a guy who's hired as a town guard and given training of War1, and he stays on for a year. After a year lets say you roll a d6, if you get higher then a 1 then he gained a level. Next year he has to gain higher then a 2 on the d6 roll. Now lets say he gets some "accelerated training" in the form of a whole lot of goblins in the area. You might choose to do a check every month as well to see if he gains. If levels are gained easier in this area of the world due to other circumstances then you might want to start rolling d20's, etc. It's not too useful XP wise, but it's a decent system for figuring how often NPC's level up. Lets say your PC's have a backstory of the local sargent in a peaceful villiage that didn't like them and that was three years ago. If he was War2 then, you could roll a d6 for each year to find out what level he is now. [/QUOTE]
