Training

Player characters can seek out Training from NPCs or other establishments that provide it, in order to improve their skills. For example, you might join the local gym to train Athletics, a craftsman's guild for Technology, or an arts school for Performance. Gaining the service of a trainer allows an adventurer to improve their skills for a cost, typically during Downtime or Resting.

Training Services

An NPC might be able to offer training in one or more skills. A trainer can't improve a trainee's skills to a level higher than their own, called their Trainer Level. For example, an NPC with a Sleight of Hand skill level of 6 can only train other adventurers up to that level. Higher-level trainers generally charge a higher price for their services, even when training at lower levels. Depending on the skill, training might take a few hours to a few weeks.

Specialty Training

Some trainers specialize in training for specific activities. Like skills, a trainer can only provide training up to the same specialty skill level that they have, and higher-level trainers typically charge more.

You receive training in a skill or specialty from a trainer.

The training process might take hours or days depending on the skill and the desired level.
