Editing FANGS: Character Development (section)

==Training Skills==

While your character is at home he can pay to have another character train him in a skill. The tutor must have at least half again your character's skill that you wish to train in (thus it is difficult to train past a skill of 13 without finding someone with a higher skill than 20 to teach you!) The character must spend the number of days (with at least 4 hours a day) that he has in the skill with the tutor. At the end of your character's training, you may add +1 to his skill. Your character can train in multiple skills at the same time, but still has to spend the same number of total hours before learning the skill. 

If during the time of his training your character earned a Skill Mark in that skill '''outside''' of training (i.e., in a life-threatening or stressful competitive experience), he may use that Skill Mark to gain an additional +1 skill at the end of the training, and then must erase the Skill Mark. 

Example: Gru decides to take some Jump training since he failed so miserably with his jump during his adventures (his skill is 9). Finding a tutor was difficult, but he finally found a tutor with an 15 skill in Jump (Gru wants to learn his Jump skill up to 10, half again of 10 is 15). After training for 9 days Gru gets to add 1 to his skill making it 10. However, Gru's teacher can teach him no more (for if Gru wants to learn skill 11, half again 11 is 16-1/2, rounded up is 17.)
