Grant synergy bonuses somewhat liberallyB.) Have spans of downtime where the PCs actually use their profession and craft skills to make a living.C.) As Evilhalfling wrote, you can let a profession skill fake for another skill situationally (typically not as well as the correct skill). Eg prof (groomer) could fake for handle animal.D.) Let the profession skill fake as a social skill (Bluff, Diplomacy, Gather Info) when among professionals from that field or grant a circumstance bonus to said social skills.I always use it for flavor. I use the knowledge or craft skills when I want to represent a character that's not dead set on just adventuring and being a mercenary, but in fact has a side focus.</blockquote>
