<P><FONT SIZE=2>If an crafter wanted to work on stuff, he would be considered "busy" and only get 1 point of training per day (2 points are for the truely idle). If he is very busy, he got nothing.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>This is in addition to the free point of language gained, if they are immersed in the language (i.e. WHile staying in Caldo, you would get 1 point per day in Caldan).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>People living in the wilderness (i.e. not hanging around the inns and bars of a town, fort or city) gained 1 point per day in the terrain survival.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>(NOTE: these two are personal house rules we have always played with)</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>|| What about when a character with some skill (say Armorer) </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>|| wants to both</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>|| improve the skill and make useful items for the party. There </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>|| is some room</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>|| for play in negotiating for use of an equipped smithy with </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>|| or without the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>|| 'teacher' and what amount of time is to be spent working </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>|| (covering living</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>|| expenses) vs straight study. Plus who pays who and how much.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>|| </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>|| Note: My rule interpretation is that work by itself does </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>|| gain the worker</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>|| expertise at one half pt / day.</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>|| I figured out a basic cost of living scale, similar to that used in</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>|| RuneQuest. When dealing with "downtime" they got 1 or 2 </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>|| points per day</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>|| (which assumed they did nothing but study or train). They </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>|| still had to</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>|| cover their living expenses. So a profitable raid could </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>|| allow them some</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>|| training time, but eventually they had to go work again.</FONT>
