This record is made 1-17-15 and should be noted that the characters are ahead of the module level stipulations, where the DM guide & associated handouts state only one level of advancement per paid training period.

Karmadel had 7176 + 1152 = 8328 Bjorn had 8460 + 1492 = 9952 or 7999 (3rd level cap) Tralaan had 6142 + 382 = 6524 Leaxie had 5785 + 602 = 6387 or 4999 (3rd level cap) Rule of thumb: when possible, try to train at a time when everyone is ready to do so, and, most importantly everyone involved has enough money available to cover their needed weeks of training which may cost between 1-4000 GP (as determined by private vote by all party peers). The question whether or not the leveling opportunities would be possible all boils down to the reality of if the player had the money to afford the training cost payment required to make it happen at that time. We will discuss this prior to the 1-17-15 session.
