and if there was a formula for times, are we sure it was used correctly in every instance?

[Fidoric]

I know the formula. It is

(click to show/hide)

total number of ranks * undetermined variable value +/- 10%. Try it, it works every times

Actually there is a formula for TP times based on number of skill ranks, lifestyle or vocational and whether there are stat gains. It and the final "formula" for DP costing was released by Craig O'Brien when he was the System Editor for Rolemaster.

Strange...I don't recall to ever seen a formula for time to acquire.

Would it possible to post these rules somewhere?

If I can find them. They were made in a posting to the Rolemaster mailing list.

Best wishes,

I've got the Costing formula part way down the page listed below, but I don't recall seeing anything about the time formula

From memory:

Base time is 2 months per category/skill rank
+50% of base time if TP is lifestyle
+50% of base time if TP gives stat gains
+50% of base time if TP gives spell list access

+/- random number at Editor's discretion.

Thanks I have never seen that before.

Thanks. I'm not sure how useful that formula really is, but at least one can always fall back on the editorial discretion for one's own campaign, right?

Thank you. I don't recognize it, but it is of course possible that I just forgot it because it seem quite arbitrary. Especially +50% time for a stat gain roll seem really silly.
