I did indeed get the point. I have tried this several times. If you convert a high level thief to a ninja and then try to train him, it will say you need something like 5,000,000 XP to get the next level. Now, take this same ninja (if he can cast mage spells) and cast a Mahaman in the next combat. If he was previously level 30, he will now be level 29 or 28, I don't remember which. Now take him to training, and he will immediately gain one level back. Now he WILL have enough XP to train easily. This trick increased the XP from the previous example by about 4,000,000 or so. This is probably a bug in the early version that I have, but it works nonetheless. Now he can train normally. I believe a ninja needs about 500,000 XP per level. If this doesn't work in the new version, I'm sorry it's been removed :). Please don't anyone else post and tell me I don't understand. If YOU don't understand how the above works, please email me and I'll be glad to explain it to you. Dave Barnhart NCR Cooperative Computing Systems Division 3245 Platt Springs Rd.
