House Rule - Leveling up

In order to make the game a bit more fun and easy, I'm going to make an alteration in the training rules for going up levels.

The training time will be a flat week - I forgot if I was having you spend two before, but in the future, it will be 1.  If I was already having you spend 1 week, you will still be spending 1 week :)

The cost will be 500gp/level, so to get to 5th level, the training cost will be 2500gp.  And don't forget that Toko and Johnny Longbow will need 1000gp each to get to 2nd level, once they get enough XP.  This is down from 1500gp per level per week.

Non-humans have level limits per the "rules as written".  As I've mentioned before, I'm removing that for single-classed characters.  However, there will be a penalty.  Once you exceed the by-the-book limit (i.e. a half-elf fighter's max level is 8th by the book, so for Dylan to get above 8th level), the time to train doubles to 2 weeks - so it's basically 1000gp/level after that. It is still cheaper than the cheapest cost to level in the book.  I think it's a pretty fair compromise to allow 20th level Elven magic-users 😁

I don't think I ever had you spend gold on leveling up in the old days, and the costs in the book are rather steep (I know - it's to keep you from becoming fabulously wealthy and retiring, but kingdom building is expensive).
