While not all Wolfkin are warriors, all who have been taken into the Stedding have been given at least some form of instruction in self defence. Those who have taken their studies further, in particular the Rangers, number amongst them some particularly fine warriors who would be the equal of those from other lands, some indeed would be recognised as blademasters. Bowmanship is also emphasised, not only as a weapon but as a tool for hunting.
The training structure for Wolfkin is fairly loose. All Experience Score increases come from training, but there are no set classes. This means that all training can be tailored to the specific character; what they already know, what weapons they wish to learn, etc. A training thread requires a person to play the role of a student and another to play as the teacher, and both may benefit their characters’ Experience Scores.
If you are a Student: Each thread for training you do counts for a Experience Score raise. This applies as long as the thread shows the student learning something new and improving from it as a result. There are no minimum post requirements, no one particular skill you ‘must’ learn, as long as you learn something then it counts. Having said that, two posts don’t cut it, be sure to have a decent go at it and develop it.
If you are a Teacher: Not only does the thread have to be decent, but the student’s ES in relation to your own is important. If the student is within 3 ES points of your score, then you teach one class and you are raised a point. If someone is within 5 ES points, then you must teach them twice, or teach two people in that range once in order to be raised a point. If it is within 7 ES points, you must teach three or teach a person three times to be raised a point.
All training has to be reported on the Training Grounds Board that can be found here.

James, if you want actual weapons lessons i would rather not do that but leave it up to the individual doing the teaching, that is until they become a wolfbrother/sister. Then if they picth the Rangers there is a set training pattern to follow.
