We will be introducing profession rating enhancement items this event. Here's what you need to know.
- Profession items provide a passive bonus to a specific profession rating (e.g., Alchemist + 5). This functions like the bonus from Gifted merits; you complete activities faster and meet prerequisites at the higher rating, but advance and train at your actual rating.
- Profession bonuses stack with Gifted merit bonuses, but not with other bonuses of the same type. If you have two items that grant Armorsmith + 6 and Armorsmith + 7, for example, only the + 7 applies. If you also have Gifted Armorsmith, your total bonus is + 22.
- PCs cannot enhance items with profession bonuses yet. They're only being tested with administrator-created items for now. Feel free to ask me about it at the game if you want to draw from the death deck.
