Otherwise, why not just play Final Fantasy and get power ups... I agree that a character that has been doing "characterly" things shouldn't have much to train in, but a couple of these chose new skills that weren't actually used in the adventure, and I don't think that expecting a little training in them would be out of the question. I like your rule ideas.Pendragon, Leaghe, and Hand of Evil: Yeah, I'm toying with having the locals in the town offer training in return for services rendered.Tsyr: I agree, except where learning new skills that you don't really have any experience with is concerned. IMC of course.Bonedagger, Luscious: I like the ideas, as mentioned above.Lady Danyon: Thanks! Reading through those as soon as I'm done with this reply Oni: The only "problem" here is that they haven't been taking any downtime, other than a couple of trips back to the nearby Hamlet to resupply (and a 3 day layover to recover from Filth Fever, but they were too indisposed to train then <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ). I like having them state what they are working on for the next level, will run that by them this week for their opinions. Been a while since I DM'ed, a lot of ideas to get back up to speed in (blows the dust off the old 1e loose leaf houserules book <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> )...WanderingMonster: We had discussed training before the campaign got this far, so they know it's coming up <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I had simply anticipated there being a bit more cash flow at this point. My fault for not keeping up with the total amount vs time a little more closely.Zerovoid: See immediately above. I've ran *lots* of 1e adventures in the past, but this is my first 3e one... As I said in my original post, I *swear* 1e adventures used to throw a lot more cash at the characters, so I wasn't paying as close of attention to that as I should have <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /> I don't want to just drop a couple of big piles of loot at this point, though, as it would feel artificial or out of character for what they've experienced so far. I'm leaning more to the training for services that other's have mentioned above. And as far as needing a mentor of higher level, I've used the "do it yourself but it takes more time" rule in my original post in old campaigns; after all, as you state, *someone* had to invent the techniques or skills on their own at some point in the past, and as the PCs are supposed to represent above average members of society, I think they'd have a fair ability to figure things out on their own. Smetzger: ThanksSquire James: I agree, I think that is a ridiculous amount. I was planning to go with the 50gp/week, and 1 week/skill rank gained formula. I like your ideas as well, and will mull them over.Thanks, folks!</blockquote>
