[QUOTE="Luis Figoo, post: 384005, member: 7743"] Caliban: How about these scenerios i) I buy wild horses (before they are tamed). Since most animals fight back when cornered, its likely they would counter attack ii) I hire the animal trainer along with the horse purchase. The animal trainer just gives the order to attack. iii) I purchase warhorses instead :D hammymchamham: Yeah it would seem evil well until you remember that whalers used to hunt whales just for their organs which produced a sort of perfume (still do i think) Then there's those who kill off elephants just for their tusks, tigers for their skins (and other less savory parts), plus tons of other examples. None of those were for eating either. Then again alignment varies DM by DM. Pax: The schools a good idea, though like you said the rate of xp gained is tough to measure. Too much and another illogical situation comes up, the 20th level fighter thats less than 20 years old (which btw is very possible if you ran the recommended WotC adventures back to back). Too little and players will come up with ideas like what i'm doing :p. Also there's a few follow up problems. For example, would the gp use for schooling be considered as expended? If so i could likely gain them back in another adventure, which allows me to get more schooling. This would cause a spiral problem i mentioned earlier using the gp asset by level value in the DMG (which btw is not easy judging whats an asset and whats not) As for metagaming, i could tell my DM that after fighting so much stuff and learning that i learn new fighting techniques and such in combat situations, it wouldn't make much sense for my fighter (int 14) not to think of arena combat being an equivalent help [/QUOTE]
