[QUOTE="Fanaelialae, post: 4316429, member: 53980"] As someone mentioned earlier in this thread, I think this has more to do with the level-based mechanic than anything else (ex. killing a goblin and suddenly feeling significantly more competent at just about everything). Personally, I don't have a problem with it; for me, that's just one aspect of what D&D IS. If you do have a problem with it, a simple solution would be to require characters to undergo X amount of training (possibly with a mentor of higher level) before they can gain level/retraining benefits. Fighter Joe spends a month training with Grandmaster Bob; he's learned to use the Anvil of Doom technique but hasn't had time to practice (and has therefore lost the use of) Steel Serpent Strike. Joe's new abilities now make perfect sense from the point of versimilitude. Personally, I consider training to be a PITA as both DM and player (I find it needlessly breaks up the flow of the story), but YMMV. [/QUOTE]
