Training Safely Beginner
The wasteland will train your squad for free. The trick is surviving the lesson.
Use town guards, training dummies, captivity and controlled fights to build stats without losing characters.
Guard-Assisted Training
Lead enemies to town guards and fight alongside them. Your characters gain combat XP while the guards ensure the fight stays survivable.
Training Equipment
Training dummies and similar base equipment build combat skills safely, with no risk. Slow, but ideal for early characters who cannot yet fight.
Controlled Fights
Pick fights you can win against enemies slightly above your level, near a fallback. Losing carefully trains Toughness; winning trains everything else.
Captivity As Training
Enslavement forces labour and hardship that train Strength, Athletics and Toughness. A planned stint as a slave is a legitimate training strategy.
