[QUOTE="Ravellion, post: 387005, member: 538"] I've been involved in three campaigns in which training was a requirement, and it nearly always seemed to detract from the main story arc. It also is "weird feeling", putting in game requirements on meta game elements. It is very tempting for the players to stop doing whatever it is their doing and hoof it back to town for training: "Say Gandalf, don't you think we need training?" "You are right Aragorn. This is a new sensation however, one I did not feel yesterday" "Me neither, butI am heading back to rivendell, it will make traversing the mines of Moria a lot easier." I prefer to see levels as an abstract accumulation of experiences, training in downtime etc, rather than a jump in capabilities enabled by training. So, the question I would like to ask: Why do you use the training rules in the first place? Just my 2 cents though. I've only Dmed for 4, perhaps 5 years... I feel completely dwarfed to some of the board members here who have played/Dmed since the 70s... Rav [/QUOTE]
