[QUOTE="pdzoch, post: 6890680, member: 80982"] I treated leveling up differently from training. Though I generally think of them hand in hand. The benefits of experience gained during the adventure (XP) translates to leveling up of benefits. This "on the job training" automatically happens when sufficient experience has been achieved. I do, however, design my adventure chapters so that the leveling up by XP occurs in natural pauses in the story when training, resupplying, spending of loot, etc would occur. Training, in the other hand, gets at additional features (skills training, language training, multi-classing, etc). The training timeframe is tied to story elements and NPC (bardic colleges, druidic circle, wizard schools, other mentors, etc.) It also allows for other income generation activities (making and selling crafts or other business ventures) and world building activities (buying and maintaining keeps, castles, lodges, etc; hiring hireling, getting new tasks from patrons, guilds, etc.) during this period that training is happening.
