It does standardize and shorten the training time, and if it allows you to get skills then it's expanded in usefulness. XGE setting up training time as 50 - (5 x int mod) days was way too long for most campaign time frames.The vibe I've gotten from the DMG previews is that downtime rules aren't as widely-used as the devs want. I've used the XGE rules extensively but... I've found it's kinda constrained both how downtime between adventures could be spent and what players try to do during it. I'm hoping the bastion rules will at least give players a more concrete thing to focus on between adventures, I would love more content on things characters can do beyond adventuring, especially stuff that can be handled outside the game, between sessions.</blockquote>
