What would you call someone that has experience in all of the above?I think most people would have a profession, and would be adventurers on the side.  Some one could have a regular profession but it is known that he can be hired for exceptional tasks.  But considering the nature of the forgotten realms, it seems to me that there would be a number of people that hire out thier services to people that need certain exceptional jobs done.  While most do this on the side, again it stands to reason that some would do it as professionals.  However I would draw the line at companies under charter and leave out the guild as adventurers are too much a random lot to put under a guild.  Are true mercenaries adventurers?  Are soldiers?  I think these companies would more often then not be fairly mobile and would be more like clubs than true organisations.  But then again they could come in all shapes and sizes.  I would argue tha the reason was wealth, which is most often anyone classified as an adventurer does anything.I like to look at it more as options and not restrictions.  You just have to be carful that you do not overuse one option, as is Celebrim's experience with pro adventurers in a camapign.  To be clear, I prefer story drivenreasons for stuff happening too.  But also it is often fun to have a band that is sort of an A-Team/Seven Samurai/Usual Suspects of the Forgotten Realms.  I like to grow groups from one concept to another.  If their being adventurers happens to come along, then great, but then it might become somthing else down the road after the group has broken up.
