 ====== Professions ======
-===== Agriculture =====
+Characters are assumed to have had some profession in their childhood, whether that be a student, acolyte, apprentice, or street urchin as well as some profession before or while they are adventurers. Like many RPGs, professions are a shorthand way of describing many of the skills a character might have. Unlike many RPGs that force characters to remain a certain Class or Profession for the lifetime of their character, Dice Mob uses professions as a shortcut starting point and then allows the player to adapt the character after that as the character gains levels.
-==== Farmer ====
+Under each profession will be a section describing the profession and some of the abilities they might have. Additionally there will be a table listing automatic dice increases they will have to Offense Skills, Defensive Skills, and Attributes. It will also list knowledge that they have gained in their profession. This knowledge is added without a Skill Point cost, but ONLY if they have the required Prerequisites. If they do not have a prerequisite at first, but gain it later on, they automatically get that knowledge at no additional Skill Point cost. (They are assumed to have had the knowledge but didn't have the skill to use it yet.)
-Automatic Skill: Perception
