Long-Term Projects and Training
Our group had a discussion last session concerning a player starting a long-term project to learn the calculating advancement from the spider playbook. We wanted to set an informed precedent for future actions of this type and I was specifically concerned with not creating a loophole that would become the optimal path to pursue future playbook advancements.
I particularly liked the player’s fictional setup for the project, involving gleaning information and technique from a friendly contact who fully embodies calculating. In hindsight though I cannot help but wonder if this fictional setup works every bit as well to describe the training playbook action in downtime.
I understand that long-term projects are the way to avoid, alter, or even break the rules, just questioning now if some rules are best not broken? Any input from similar situations and other groups experiences with long-term projects of this nature would be helpful.
