Training

Given enough time, money, and the services of an instructor, a character can learn a language, pick up proficiency with a tool or kit, gain proficiency or even expertise in a skill, or possibly even earn a feat.

Resources

Receiving training requires you first find a teacher who is willing and capable of teaching you. It then takes a varying amount of time and credits, depending on what you're training in. Costs are paid at the beginning of each workweek.

Language or Weapon

Learning a new language or training in a new weapon takes 10 workweeks and costs 250 cr per workweek. During resolution, training in a language calls for an Intelligence check, while a weapon requires an attack roll with that weapon. If you are proficient in that saving throw, you add your proficiency bonus to the roll.

Tool Training, Proficiency, or Expertise

Learning to use a new tool takes 5, 10, or 20 workweeks for training, proficiency, or expertise, respectively and costs the value of the tool in cr per workweek. During resolution, training in a new tool calls for an ability check appropriate to that tool, as determined by the GM. If you are proficient in that saving throw, you add your proficiency bonus to the roll.

Skill Training, Proficiency, or Expertise

Learning a new skill takes 5, 10, or 20 workweeks and costs at least 250 cr, 500 cr, or 1,000 cr per workweek for training, proficiency, or expertise, respectively. During resolution, training in a new skill calls for an ability check with that skill's governing ability score. If you are proficient in that saving throw, you add your proficiency bonus to the roll.

Saving Throw Training or Proficiency

Learning a new saving throw takes 10 or 20 workweeks and costs 750 cr or 1,500 cr per workweek for training or proficiency, respectively. During resolution, training in a new saving throw calls for an ability check with that saving throw's governing ability score.

Feat

Learning a new feat takes 40 workweeks and costs at least 2,000 cr per workweek. During resolution, training in a new feat calls for an ability check appropriate to that feat, as determined by the GM. If you are proficient in that saving throw, you add your proficiency bonus to the roll.

Resolution

At the end of each workweek, a character makes an ability check depending on their training, and then consults the Training Roll Modifier table.

Training Roll Modifier

The d100 Roll Modifier is added to the percentile dice rolled for the Training Results table, which is discussed below.

Once the player has determined their training roll modifier, they then roll percentile dice and consult the Training Results table below.

Complications

Complications that arise while training typically involve the teacher. For every five workweeks spent in training, or for each failure during resolution, a character has a 10 percent chance of a complication. Examples of which are on the Training Complications table.

This is a great opportunity to create a rival to the party, or involve a previous rival.
