Training[/h]Characters require training when going up a level.Level 1 – starting characters are deemed to have undertaken at least 1 year training in their chosen class either at a training academy or from a PC or NPC of at least fifth level. A multi classing character requires a training academy or a PC or NPC of at least fifth level to train them in the new class.Levels 2-5 – any PC or NPC of a higher level and the same class (and archetype) can train another character. In the case of classes that gain spells they can only learn spells that are available from their trainer (though can gain other spells when available – they do not need to fill all available known spell slots – just gain training in how to fill these.Levels 6-12 – training can only be obtained by from a PC or NPC who is at least 3 levels higher than the PC and of the same class and archetype or is a designated trainer (for example on Warrior’s Isle for martial classes, Colleges for Bards, Schools for Wizards or Temples for Clerics).Levels 13-18 - training can only be obtained by from a PC or NPC who is at least 1 level higher than the PC and of the same class and archetype or at a designated training academy (for example on Warrior’s Isle for martial classes, Colleges for Bards, Schools for Wizards or Temples for Clerics).Levels 19-20 – PCs training can only come from a level 20 PC or NPC or at a designated training academy.[h=2]Training Time[/h]For levels 2-20 it takes 5 days per level being trained to obtain the new level at a training academy. This time is doubled for training done by PC or NPC of the appropriate level – if the trainer is 2 or more levels above what is needed then the training time is standard.The time is based on the level of the class the character is going to not the characters overall level.Training to a new class (Multi classing) takes 100 days.[h=2]Training Cost[/h]Can depend on who is doing the training. Training Academies roughly charge 1gp per level the character is going up to per day of training (e.g., a 4[SUP]th[/SUP] level Fighter training to be 5[SUP]th[/SUP] level would cost 5gp per day for 25 days so a total of 125gp.Training cost level is the characters total level not the level in the class.</blockquote>
