[QUOTE="jaerdaph, post: 640645, member: 3398"] You know, that's an excellent question. I guess you'd have to first consider the number of hours in a day, and how much time you could actually dedicate to each profession to make it/either one profitable. Don't forget, the PCs/heroes also have to find some time in there to adventure as well. :) A Wealth bonus increase may or may not be applicable since you can't be two places at once. EDIT: Oops - my suggestion here - maybe average the two bonuses together. Next, you'd have to consider why the character has two professions, and which one is the dominant meal ticket. Using your example, car mechanic/writer (or my personal favorite waiter/actor): Is he/she just starting out as a writer (or actor) looking for that "big break" in their artistic field? Then perhaps their Wealth bonus would reflect that of the mechanic or waiter, with a +1 added for the wee bit of extra income they initially earn (doing a play in the evenings "Off Off Broadway, so Off Off That It's Actually Dinner Theater in Hoboken", e.g.). If the car mechanic has a few books on the [i]New York Times[/i] Best Seller List about auto repair, however, then the Wealth bonus would be higher, that of a successful writer. Another example that comes to mind is the physician who is also national news "health beat" anchor - he/she may have a successful practice, but they earn extra income for the reporting work they do. Of course, characters like Buckaroo Bonzai should be the exception, unless you want that kind of game ;) This should be a good thread :) [/QUOTE]
