Specialization Skill — Intelligence

The Profession skill represents a character's experience in certain practical fields. Theoretically there are an unlimited number of professions (unlike Craft), from the very broad to the excessively specific. Those listed below are some common divisions.

While its primary, simple use is the running of businesses and the acquisition of wealth, the Profession skill's largest and most impressive use is the planning and direction of projects. Large structures, such as houses, and large projects, such as a sailing ship, require one or more profession checks to design in addition to the necessary craft checks for construction.
