Sure, it damages the in-game fiction a little bit, but the alternative is that it's going to feel like you're favoring some of your players, even if you aren't. It's a bit like the military term "fraternization." It doesn't matter if you are fraternizing or not, what matters is that it looks like you are, which leads the people you're supposed to be leading to not quite trust you right.In this case, it looks like you're treating the more urban members of your party unfairly while favoring people who are playing more rugged classes. It doesn't matter if you actually are, what matters is the perception- and the guy who can't take his prestige class while his buddy gets a cool new power is going to feel pretty perceptive about that.Personally, I'd let them all level up (and let the prestige class be a natural part of his character's growth like any other level instead of a pseudo secret-society thing) or let nobody level up until they can find somebody who can train them. I'd lean towards the "let everybody level up," but that's because I haven't paid attention to training rules since god knows when.</blockquote>
