I dislike the way people can basically train away size, clumsiness, etcetera,
so when I compute training I consider the skill without the modifier for
purposes of cost, time, etc. I limit training to 60% in general, and allow
unlimited research. I replace the research rules with a table based on the
average research rule results to save the time otherwise spent doing lots of
dice rolling.
With the standard rules, this would allow one to become a RuneLord just by spending time training. I feel that RuneLords should have to do more for their cult than just be prepared to be a RuneLord; they must do some questing, perhaps accompany a heroquester, and so on. Thus this isn't a problem.
