Message: <blockquote data-quote="Li Shenron" data-source="post: 6139672" data-attributes="member: 1465">Bluntly, I'd imagine I'd use Craft(cooking) for someone who does the labor of manually cooking, and Profession(chef) for the master who imparts orders to the laborers, design the menus and the dishes, and runs the business. Note that for instance in Italy, professional cooking schools (e.g. at high school level) teach you the first (in fact the title gained for completing those schools is typically "Cook assistant"). Chef is usually something you become after years of practice, a little bit like moving to a manager's position, although chefs also take part in the manual labor to guide the assistants, or for the most difficult tasks, or the finishing touches.For the second, I can picture a very typical case in TV comedy. A solo stand-up comedian is usually a high-Cha person with natural talent first of all. But when you have 2 at the same time, most likely (not always of course) one of them is the main artist and the other one is the sidekick. The main artist is the Perform(Comedy) guy, the sidekick is the Profession(Comedian), someone who has a long experience but for some reason (missing that special "spark" of uniqueness, or missing the perfect "look") is not suited to being the main character under the spotlight. Still, it's a tough job that requires its own talent and plenty of dedication. It's possibly also more suitable to savvy people more than to ambitious people.That said... just keep in mind that D&D is not math, the rules are always suppose to be useful and help you create characters and situations. This means, it doesn't matter much if in one game you use Craft(cooking) and in another you use Profession(cook), whatever works best for you is the right choice. You can have just one of them in your game, you can have both, you can have even more... it doesn't matter if they overlap, all that matters is if you find them useful.</blockquote>
