[QUOTE="dvvega, post: 189171, member: 524"] IMC I use the following, simple system. To gain a level and all the bonuses that entails, you train for 7 days (I'm considering changing the number of days but this is because my world does not have the concept of weeks in it). If you pick up a brand new skill (no previous ranks) you must find a trainer and pay 50gp for that first rank. Further ranks can be taken automatically, however can't exceed half the trainers ranks (you cannot exceed your trainer). If you pick up a new feat you pay 150gp. Yes fighters pay a lot, however they gain a lot as well. As for taking a new class, you must train with an appropriate trainer for a period represented by the difference in starting ages of a 1st level character of your current class and your next class. So for a human fighter who wants to become a wizard ... they must train for 1d6 years (+1d6 for fighter +2d6 for wizard hence 1d6). If they have taken an appropriate 1st level feat representing previous training, then it halves the training time. Of course I eyeball the time taken, but I dislike the idea of a Barbarian suddenly being able to read a wizard's spellbook and casting spells without training. There are some excepts ... sudden divine inspiration for example, or a Paladin becoming a Cleric etc. [/QUOTE]
