Training Room
Location:	Somerset Square

You are in an enormous vaulted space that appears considerably larger on the inside than it appears from the outside. A strange, mystical, timeless aura fills the place, as if you're not quite in the normal world. The air is scented with a blend of incense and sweaty socks. Scattered around the room are heroes engaged in a variety of activities, ranging from meditation to hand-to-hand combat.

You are currently level X.

If you do not have enough experience points to gain a level:

You still need Y XP to go to the next level

If you have already reached the 25th level:

Your instructor smiles and shakes her head. She says, "You have learned as much as you can from this place. I cannot teach you any more."

(Training for higher levels occurs at The Nagual Mystic, Out in the Desert, or with Pentacron in the Aquasson Base on The Space Station).

If you have enough experience to gain a level:

You have enough experience to go up to level X+1.
Training will cost Z chips.

Gaining a Level

Your instructor straps you into a weird headset and pops in a couple of chips. Your eyelids flicker for a moment, and you pass out. When you come to, both the instructor and the headset are gone, but your head is filled with new knowledge. Whoah.

or

Your instructor pulls out a small crystal and a tiny silver hammer. She places the crystal against your forehead. You hear her whisper something that sounds like "Third eye" and then she taps the crystal with the hammer. Ringing tones fill your head, resolving into a new mystical understanding of the world.

or

You trainer sends you to a sensory deprivation tank. You spend most of the hour in an out-of-body experience as a cat playing with a ball of string, but in the last five minutes you quit wasting time and actually tap into something educational.

or

Your trainer takes you to an arena where you spar for the better part of an hour. By the end you're pretty beaten up, but you feel like you've learned quite a bit.

then

You gain a level!

You gain x hit points. You gain x power points.

Your strength increases by x points.
Your intellect increases by x points.
Your reflexes increase by x points.

You acquire a new skill:
Skill Name

or

You relearn a long-forgotten skill:
Skill Name

or

There is not currently an available skill at this level (but there will be someday!).

or

There's no skill to acquire.

then

You get X skill points that you can invest into improving skills.

You get an adrenaline rush!

This also restores your HP and PP to fullness.
