<div dir="ltr">Looks like you have it correct for Rule 2. Remember that when studying magic that is written books can add as well, so can get 3 pts per day per Rule 7.4 if have book and instructor. Rule 2.22 and Rule 3 show points gained for using (or attempting to use) the skill. Rule 4 is about training characteristics.<br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Tue, Jan 8, 2019 at 12:17 AM Bessie Hadley <<a href="mailto:eleabess@sbcglobal.net">eleabess@sbcglobal.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Hello members,<br>
<br>
I need some information/verification about the amount of expertise points (both magical & combat) that could/can be gained with one month of training time. This concerns the 3rd volume of my P&P book trilogy that I'm currently writing. There is a one-month time break between volumes two & three, which is used by our heroes for research (by Scholars mainly) & training by all. Skills worked at involve learning/improving a language, various job & combat skills, and magical training with a teacher. All magical training is with a teacher, the other skills vary as to whether an instructor available or not.<br>
<br>
Here is my question that I need information from you folks about:<br>
<br>
How many expertise points can one earn in 30 days of training/study/practice? I am figuring 8 hours/day, 5 days/week of training - that's a total of 40hours/week x 4 weeks = 20 days (160 hours) to gain expertise points. That would mean 1 expertise point/day, or two points under a teacher. Is that all I need to know to add the points to the skills I want improved? (I will split those points as needed for each PC.)<br>
<br>
I think I just answered my own question - LMAO! <br>
<br>
Anyway, if you have additional suggestions, or disagree with my summary above, would you please note it here for me? (If it interests anyone - lol)<br>
<br>
I follow game rules closely, although I do allow myself an author's creative license. I have been keeping my characters' experience points up-to-date through book 2, so just need to add in the extra skill points for the start of book 3's initial contacts involving combat or magic.<br>
<br>
Thank you so much for your support & experience! It has meant a lot to me since I started this project.<br>
<br>
P.S.: My 3rd book involves dragons (plural). And a hint to you all - I have always liked books with friendly dragons. So don't think I'm stodgy about all this - I want to have fun; that's why I'm writing these stories.<br>
