Training

[Falstaff]

How many of you DMs out there require Training before a character can advance to the next level?

If you do, how does it affect your campaign?

We assume that you're training for your next level during the course of the current level you're in. We try to roleplay that.

So if I know that I'm going to picking up Craft (basketweaving) at 3rd level, my barbarian will spend 2nd level looking at wicker and discussing various weaving techniques with the local craftsfolk.

I note that the 3.5 DMG has an optional rule about training, but I forget on what page.

I generally assume that training goes on behind the scenes, if you're talking about levels in base classes. If you want to take a prestige class, there might be some sort of explicit roleplaying component, though.

i require training for all levels gained.

but i don't DM the latest edition nor its revision.
