[QUOTE="CRGreathouse, post: 1644801, member: 474"] Let me think about the Profession skills in the 2 groups I DM: Profession (oracle): A popular choice, since it actually works in my campaign. Choose one type (eg astrology or pyromancy) per 5 ranks [round up] Profession (groom): I gave it a synergy bonus to Handle Animal, as I recall. Profession (fence) and Profession (buyer? merchant?): While no PCs have it, the followers of two PCs have the skills (which grant mutual synergies), which they use to make faster transactions and get better prices. This became a major plot point once... they needed a scroll of [i]wish[/i], and every hour counted. The party put a custom 'no-need-for-sleep' spell on both and paid them lavishly -- and were willing to accept just about any price. Profession (digger): Normally this has two functions -- gravedigger and ditch digger -- but it has come up for escaping situations and setting crude traps... [/QUOTE]
