The stat requirements are there in some cases to represent that dummies, peasants or uncoordinated types could never come from certain kinds of backgrounds. If you wanted to make them into a random table and remove the stat requirements, I say go ahead! Post it here. Glad you like 'em! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />BTW: Asgard #6 has a GREAT article on Profession skills and synergy bonuses everyone should check out! I think that too many players think of themselves as "adventurers" and not as "real people" with a real need to have a career to fall back on, LOL. This is probably a fault of the DM and setting creators that have engendered this "I don't need to know nuthin' but how to slay dragons" mentality among players. Profession: Beekeeper? Who needs that? Well, your dad did all right by it for the past few decades and forced you to help run his beekeeping business. He may need you to help out with it again someday, or you might inherit it, or you might want to broker a deal for a big batch of honey and get a "sweet" deal when the beekeeper knows you know what you are talking about from having worked in his trade before. LOL. These types of things can really help flesh out a character's background, provide fun conversations, or spur adventure hooks. Making adventurers that spring out of nowhere ready to slay dragons is not only unrealistic, it is bad RPing. All classes should have more skill points to spend on Craft, Knowledge and Profession skills, IMO, because too few are given out for most players to even consider buying ranks in these skills. Then it is up to both player and DM to make sure these skills get used.</blockquote>
