Having an allowance of 5 trainings seem pretty restrictive. Has any found a way to remove the cap?

Well considering TesSnip apparently works it probably involves the alteration of that setting, can't remember what it was called in oblivion and morrowind..... will tell if i find it.

I'd be pretty eager to get my hands on a mod that removed that cap too. I used one in Oblivion as well. There are just some skills I will never use enough to max them out and then there are others which just increase WAAAAAAY too slowly on there own. I mean I go EVERYWHERE in sneak mode and I'm level 11 and it's still only at like 18. It's driving me crazy!

My main is a full warrior... I sneak for about 2 minutes every few hours of gameplay, and MY sneak is in the upper 20's... Are you sure your doing it right?

Not when training in anything 5 times can cause you to level.

I and others have said this in other threads but a alternate form of leveling would be nice (eg. major/minor skills ala oblivion/morrowind) as it doesn't make sense that you can get to high level by improving non-combat abilities only to find the enemies are so many levels higher.

@IAmTheNerevarine
I think the way sneak levels is by successful sneak attempts rather than time using sneak. eg. you sneak and aren't spotted by a sentry will increase sneak skill rather than time spent sneaking like morrowind and oblivion.

I still like the idea of having no cap on training, afterall if i have 100k gold then i may as well be able to use it training if i wanted. If you can't afford it then you won't train, if a person cheats in order to afford it well theres a console command that will give them gold or directly increase there skill level.
It seems that the training limit is merely to stop people powerleveling once they have the money to do so, and as a way to stop people from continuing past the games 'max level'.

You have to pull sneak attacks. Sneaking around a enemy unnoticed does increase it, but getting off a sneak attack increases sneak A LOT MORE. I am mostly a warrior type character (like 50% warrior, 30% rogue, 20% mage), and yet my sneak is 40 (I think, or very close + or -). Haven't bought training for it, no.. And I am level 25(24-26 at least). Not playing atm, so my stats can are not 100% correct.
