The following rules are meant as an addition to the current craft point system. They are pretty bare-boned at the moment, so any additions are welcome. Especially the training portion still requires work.
Researching Original Spells
A spellcaster of any type can research original spells. Doing so requiress access to a well-stocked library (such as the Orussus library, which is open to everyone in the Red Dragon Inn), and costs 1000 gold pieces and 100 Craft Points per level of the spell. After that, the character must succeed at a Spellcraft check (DC 10 plus the spell's level). If the roll succeeds and the spell has been approved previously, the character learns the spell. Otherwise, the character must go through the research process again.
Spontaneous casters such as bards and sorcerers cannot exceed their spells known limit by researching a new spell. For 0 level spells, the costs are 500 gold pieces and 50 Craft Points.
Assisting in Spell Research
Characters can cooperate in spell research using the normal rules for assisting. Spellcasters are considered trained assistants, while non-spellcasters count as untrained assistants.
Feat: Research Specialist [General]
You have a knack for researching original spells
Prerequisites: Must have researched at least one original spell.
Benefits: You gain 500 (1000?) craft points, (half of?) which may only be used to research original spells. In addition, spontaneous spellcasters gain an extra spell known of the level they can currently cast minus one, or lower. That spell must be a spell they researched themselves.
You gain a +2 bonus to Spellcraft checks made to research original spells.
Special: You may select this feat multiple times. Each time you select it, you gain an additional 500 craft points. The other benefits do not stack.
A wizard may select this feat as one of her bonus feats gained at every 5th level.
Training Animals
Training or rearing animals is a dangerous and time-consuming task.
Teach an Animal a Trick: 50
Train an Animal for a Purpose: 50 x the number of weeks required
Rear a Wild Animal: ????
Dire Animals and Dinosaurs (and other special animals): Above value x 1.5?
Non-Animals with Int 1 or 2: Above value x 2?
