======= Profession =======
===skill (base abilities vary)===
~~TOC~~
\\
When you take skill ranks in Profession they must be applied to a specific profession. You are familiar with the tasks and knowledge associated with that profession. You can craft items if appropriate to your profession. You may take ranks in more than one profession

Professions get two abilities tied to their skill checks. The maximum rank you may purchase in a single profession is equal to the lower of the two scores

\\
==== Crafting check ====
If your profession has the ability to craft specific items, those items will have a DC, which you must meet in order to make progress on that item. For every two hours you dedicate to crafting the item, roll your profession check against the DC of the item you are working on. If you pass the DC, each point in your roll is converted into //[[glossary#u|Units of Work]]//. If you fail the check, you make no progress on your project. Once you have the necessary units to complete the item, you finish the crafted item

**Longer working sessions**\\
If you are working an entire day on a project, you may work up to 8 hours on your project. After that, if you continue working, your rolls are made at [[combat#advantage|disadvantage]]. Roll a check for every two hours that you work

\\
==== Related skills ====
Professions may have overlapping skill sets with the other skill families. You may roll your profession check against these related skill DCs as if you had put ranks into that skill, but only for the sub-skills that are listed

\\
====Knowledge (profession)====
You have a general knowledge of your profession. You also have knowledge of the medicinal properties of substances, foods, plants, etc. Answering a question regarding your profession requires a check correlating to the difficulty of the question (Easy, Moderate, Hard, Near Impossible)

=====Armorsmith=====
These artisans specialize in crafting the various types of [[armor]]. The tables below outline the various items you may craft as an armorsmith. While average quality armor sells for a modest price, master armorsmiths can produce exceptional armor which minimizes the restrictions of the user, removing the normal penalties associated with wearing armor. Armorsmiths can also [[gear#repairing gear|repair]] armor, as well as cloth and leather adventuring gear, and tools

**Key Attributes**: [[wiki:abilities#Strength]], [[wiki:abilities#Dexterity]]

**Related Skills**: [[recall knowledge#Appraisal]], [[recall knowledge#Knowledge Merchant Guilds]]

**Skill Bonuses**: Upon gaining 8 ranks in their profession, Armorsmiths gain a 1d6 bonus to [[Athletics]] checks

|Chain     |Moderate |18 |11g|
|Steel     |Moderate |26 |16g|
|Shields   |Moderate |13 |8g|

**Masterwork Armor**\\
A master armorsmith is capable of making a higher caliber of armor. The DC for master armor is Hard. These armor pieces have fewer penalties to [[Acrobatics]] and [[Athletics]], and are more durable. Each crafting check that is rolled 3 or higher grants one enhancement to the armor, up to six enhancements

An enhancement may be one of the following
  * Reduce an Acrobatics or Athletics penalty by 1
  * Increase the hit points of the armor by 2d6

Each enhancement you add increases the value of the armor, according to the table below

^Enhancements^Additional value^

=====Astronomer=====
Astronomers are people of scientific discovery, looking up to the night sky in search of new knowledge and insights. Along the way they learn a great deal of skills which can help them in practical endeavors on Terra, such as navigation by the stars

**Key Attributes**: [[wiki:abilities#Intelligence]], [[wiki:abilities#Resolve]]

**Related Skills**: [[Investigation#Search]], [[Recall Knowledge|Knowledge Astronomy]]

**Skill Bonuses**: Upon gaining 8 ranks in their profession, Astronomers gain a 1d6 bonus at night to [[Perception]], [[Wilderness Survival]], and profession Sailor checks made for [[profession#Sailor|Navigation]]

**Stargazing**\\
Spending an hour staring into the night sky, you attempt to make discoveries, observations, or confirmations of other Astronomer's findings. You document these findings into formal writs which may be turned in to scientific societies for modest earnings. Documentation writs can only be obtained from the society and come with official seals. Astronomers must pass a test to become licensed with these societies if they wish to be paid and recognized for their discoveries

Failing an astronomy check simply causes the time spent to produce no results

^Objective^Astronomy DC/Modifier^[[glossary#u|Units of Work]] Required^Value^
|Confirming findings|Trivial|20|5 gold|
|Minor discovery|Easy|40|15 gold|
|Significant discovery|Moderate|120|100 gold|
|Major discovery|Hard|250|400 gold|
|Ground-breaking discovery|Near Impossible|400|1250 gold|
|Not using a telescope|+10|-|

**Obtaining a license**\\
You must travel to a scientific society's primary location, and take a test. The difficulty for passing this test is 15. It costs 5 gold to have the test administered, and you may take the test as many times as you need. The test taking process is 4 hours

After passing this test, you may purchase your license for 50 gold, which allows you lifetime membership. Each society has a small brooch which is also included in the license cost

**Submitting your discoveries**\\
A writ costs 2 gold pieces, which is refunded upon submission as a discovery. Writs can be purchased and submitted in most major cities. All discoveries undergo peer review, and astronomers that repeated submit false records have their license revoked without option to reacquire


\\
=====Jeweler=====
Jewelers craft gems, precious stones, and metals to create wearable items called [[keystones]]. While a jeweler can craft purely decorative pieces, adventurers love them for their ability to work with [[keystones#gem list|gems]] and stones that possess qualities which affect their ki energy. These stones can be aligned with up to five chakras. Alignment with multiple chakras increases the power, and value, of the stone. Jewelers can also [[gear#repairing gear|repair]] damage to a keystone, or to adventuring items made from glass

**Key Attributes**: [[wiki:abilities#Intelligence]], [[wiki:abilities#Dexterity]]

**Related Skills**: [[Recall Knowledge|Appraisal]], [[Recall Knowledge|Knowledge Merchant Guilds]]

^Chakra Alignments^Crafting Difficulty Check^[[glossary#u|Units of Work]] Required^Material cost^Value^
|1|Trivial|350|350g|450g|
|2|Easy|900|700g|1,200g|
|3|Moderate|1250|1,750g|3,000g|
|4|Hard|1550|4,500g|7,500g|
|5|Near Impossible|1875|12,500g|20,000g|

While any item can be aligned to the chakras, gems and stones are well suited to this purpose, and particular gems are disposed to different benefits. The DCs above assume that you are using the proper materials. If you use a stone that is not suited to its alignment, add +5 to the craft DC. If you use another material entirely, add +8 to the craft DC. You may also increase the DC by 1 to add 1d6 hit points to the keystone's item durability. Enhancing items that are not gemstones requires a full workshop



**Sense Chakra Alignment**: A jeweler may attempt to determine the chakra alignments of a stone with a profession check. If they can touch the stone, the DC is 15. If they can only see the stone, the DC is 25 and is subject to perception modifiers. Players with the Ki Sense talent gain [[combat#advantage]] if the object is within range

|Not using [[Gear|surveying tools]]|[[combat#Advantage|Disadvantage]]|-|-|

**Exploring while charting**\\
You cannot produce exhaustive charts without exploring the area you have charted. If you are familiar with the landscape, this is not necessary, otherwise it adds 1 hour to the time required to complete the chart

The cost of paper and ink is reimbursed when selling charts to the explorers guild

You may not chart areas in which you are not physically present, even if you are familiar with them. From one location, you may chart areas within your field of vision per the table below

^Conditions^Range^Total Chartable Square Miles^
|Land, with extreme topography or limited visibility|1 mile|4|
|Land, with varied topography|2 miles|16|
|Sea, or flat topography|3 miles|36|
