Dragonslayer Training Plans

Vee Barlett - Level 4
- Currently has WP and NWP

- Either:
- Prestidigitation (2 slots)
- Dancing or Whistling/Humming + Single Weapon or Two Weapon Style Specialization - Bad BOB comment retracted
- Thief skills:

Training Priorities
Character
*training in what?
| Character |
All of the character's XP totals include the 10% bonus automatically if applicable.
1 - There is always a need to have an open slot or two in the party for future skills or things that someone might find interesting. Learning a new language, learning to read and write, or how to ride a giant eagle could all potentially be useful in the future. Also some skills take more than one slot so waiting might need to happen sometimes.
2 - Training can happen in a roleplaying way during and outside of adventures. Waiting to train in falconry until being stuck at home during the winter months, or training a fellow party member while the group is out adventuring are only a couple of possibilities.
3 - Cost is high for adventurers for two reasons. One is that you earn a lot more slots than the typical NPC does because of the rapid rise in level. The other is that adventurers want to get things done NOW and not suffer through apprenticeships, etc. A blacksmith might take on a young farm boy, teach him the trade and in the end that farm boy is now a master craftsman. Of course rather than paying 700 GP for 7 weeks of training (the average cost and time) the farm boy puts in a year or more of learning the skill and another three or four years of apprenticeship to finish paying off the cost of the training.
4 - Cultivating good relationships with NPCs is always helpful in doing favors for future favors or training. Original players will tell stories of how doing favors for the druids in Wolfspack or for the Archbishop of Hades just to survive. But help can come from some unexpected sources and if you do not have a slot open (see above) you might miss out on the chance to learn how to make potions from a mermaid.
