[QUOTE="The Crimson Binome, post: 6828133, member: 6775031"] In my particular case, the rule was a reaction to a recent Pathfinder campaign which saw people gaining multiple levels [I]within[/I] a single dungeon. The rule I came up with is just that you need a week of downtime, at least eight hours per day, in order to gain the next level. You can split that up before you gain the required experience, between adventuring days, or after you get the experience; but there must be at least one week of in-game time between each level gained. You could consider it to be a maximum rate at which skill can be accrued, if you want. It mostly isn't a big deal, because there's a lot of encounter-free travel time in this campaign - two weeks to get from the the wind spire to skull island, three weeks to get from Innesmouth to Stonehearth, etc. Nobody has to sit out, because everyone gains experience at the same time, so everyone needs to train at the same point. It's only there for verisimilitude, and as a final sanity check to prevent someone from going 1 to 20 over the course of one month. [/QUOTE]
