Initially, each occupation is introduced.
Ability Requirements: In order to legitimately
be a member of the occupation in question,
minimum ability requirements must be met. For
instance, warriors generally require Strength. It is
possible for a remarkably weak character to consider
themselves a warrior, but it is doubtful that the
military would hire a weak soldier.
Gender: Sometimes occupations tend to be
characterized by one gender over another. For instance,
there are no female druids.
Race: As the races offered to players for
their characters are diverse, some races are better
suited at different occupations. For example, anakim
are well-suited to be gladiators.
Disposition: Some occupations tend to be
occupied by characters with certain ethical and moral
dispositions. For instance, it should be virtually
impossible to find an ethical and moral assassin.
Temperament: Some occupations tend to
be occupied by characters with certain temperaments.
For instance, it should be virtually impossible
to find a sanguine ruffian.
Sociality: Oftentimes, occupations differ
according to social class and urbanity. For example,
assassins in hamlets are as rare as berserkers in civilized
capital cities.
Religion: Occupations may be characterized
by religion. The likelihood, for instance, of finding
an atheistic hierophant is very small.
Skills: Certain occupations are better gifted
in certain skills, sometimes because they formally
train in them, and other times because these are the
type of characters attracted to the occupation. The
purpose of listing skills here is to grant bonuses in
addition to the character’s initial roll for Skill Points
as determined in the beginning of Chap. 8: Skills. If
a character switches occupations after already having
gained a level in their current occupation, these
new skills are not freely gained; instead, Skill Points
must be invested as usual after level advancement.
Normally, only 5 Skill Points may be initially put into
a skill. The granted points in the bonus skills are in
addition to this normal limit.

Equipment: Adventuring occupations may
limit the type of weapon, armor, or apparel. For
example, bards do not play lutes while wearing
platemail. Occupations for the general public may
have equipment that is necessary for their occupation
listed, such as an anvil for a blacksmith.
Magic Points: Usually, both priests (druids
and hierophants) and wizards (mages and sorcerers)
are able to cast spells. Magic Points (MP) are
listed here, if applicable.
Advancement Points: Different occupations
gain Advancement Points (AP) by different
means. For instance, warriors advance by killing foes
on the battlefield, while pick pockets advance by successfully
picking pockets.
Training: Before characters of some occupations
can receive the benefits of advancing a level,
they must train properly. Not all occupations require
training prior to advancing an occupational
level.
Guild: Some occupations are governed by
guilds. Information regarding the structure of guilds
and their statutes is listed here, including how many
years an apprentice must serve, whether or not a
masterpiece must be produced to become a journeyman,
and criteria to become a journeyman or
master.
