CT, the rate in play is 1/2 or less the CharGen values...MT, it's quite possible to raise faster, but it requires using the skill consistently... and some luck.TTNE, it's a straight XP to buy abilities and breaks in play, largely upon GM's rate of XP award. T4: in play accelerates growth... but not as fast as TTNE. And bad rolls can result in really slow advancement.BRP derived: varies. I'm most familiar with Pendragon and ElfQuest.EQ, the rate of in play skill total gains really doesn't match the character gen, but it matters little, since there's no balance to speak of.Pendragon: I found that in play generally exceeded Char Gen rates  in 3rd/4th... until 4.1 (Saxons!, Book of Knights) tripled the gain options in Char Gen. It does peak out, and slows a lot... what it doesn't do is reflect that humans have a harder time learning as they age as a general rule; it's minor, but KAP campaigns can run enough time past the characters for it to matter, but it doesn't tie to the experience rules.</blockquote>
