PC Professions Notes

Professions are wholly different on Wyrlde and require some explaining.

Profession Descriptions

Ability Scores

Each Class has 3 Primary Ability Scores that are important to it.

Two of these scores will be their Saving Throw scores.

Mana is the score that is most concerned with magical ability and is used for Spelling, but the Affinity and the Axiom determine the scores use for Spell Saves (Affinity) and Spell Casting (Axiom). Bards are unusual.

Primary Ability scores have a minimum score of 11 in order to be a member of that profession. Multiclass characters must have a minimum score of 13 in all six of their Profession’s Abilities.

Axiom & Affinity

Excepting Bards, each class has an Axiom and Affinity in relation to Magic.

Bard	Null	Arcane	Divine	Eldritch	Mystical	Primal	Spell Cast
Sensate	Vanguard	Sorcerer	Paladin	Reeve	Corsair	Ranger	PER
Servant	Outlaw	Envoy	Shrineward	Gunslinger	Mystic	Shaman	WIS
Disciple	Warrior	Wizard	Cleric	Warlock	Monk	Witch	KNO
Spell Attack	CON	KNO	WIS	PER	CHA	SAN

Spell Cast & Spell Attack

Each class that is able to use magic has a Spell Casting score determined by their Axiom (Kno, Wis, Per) and a Spell Attack score determined by their Affinity (Kno, Wis, Per, Cha, San).

Nulls always have Con for both.

Saving Throws

These are the two ability scores for saving throws for that profession. One will always be one of the three Primary Ability scores.

These are the spell proficiencies that the class starts with. Remember that these are necessary to learn Mysteries.

Orders & Mysteries
