AD book page 11 says "Hypno-training is a teaching system that involves hypnotism, memorization and the use of drugs that improve the mind's ability to learn. a character with enough experience points can learn a new skill or skill level at a hypno-training center in five days (100 hours) for 100 Cr.<br /><br />Originally I had thought, and I dont know why, that hypno-training was like you go sit in a chair for 5 or 8 hours then go about your day but come back same time tomorrow for 5 days.<br />Having just re-read the above it sounds like you go into the center for 5 days and the training process is 100 hrs straight. 20hrs/ day for 5 days and it only cost 100cr. <br />If you're going into a center for 5 days like that then the center will handle the housekeeping and food prep and whatever have you so a 100 Cr seems cheap unless they've gone in for massive automation but still maintenance cost, spare parts for the robots, food cost, drugs cost, taxes overhead yada yada yada<br /><br />And that is the top of the line training you could just see an expert and be taught as long as he's 2 levels higher in the skill. But if the top of the line training is 100 Cr what do you pay a teacher? <br /><br />Then there is the po' mans learning: Practice. for which I'd say exact a 50 Cr fee in city environments to cover buying manuals, ammo, rifle range fees, and other materials for teaching yourself.<br />and I'd limit this to a certain level (no higher than say 3) if your someplace like Volturnus stuck in the wilderness and practicing a skill then there is no cost obivously.<br /><br />Teaching: I like the teacher must be of higher level than you but the 2 levels higher means you can only rise to lvl 4 then suddenly you cant learn from a teacher, you'll do better practicing on your own? I'd go with 5th & 6th level being learned from a lvl 6 practioner as at this point you both are so versed in the arcana of this field that you're mutal expertise and professionalism will keep you on track.<br /><br />Hypno-training: I think its too cheap I'd say go with 200 cr / level but still leave it the fastest method.<br />So that a lvl 4 skill would cost 800 Cr.
