Professions
Notes for Context: “Quest” Skills: Quest Skills are a part of the Starting Character package and they are free. Please note, though: Quest Skills can only be used during Expeditions or Excursions. They cannot be used the majority of the time. Fortes: Fortes are the Traits that Characters apply to the Skills they have access to from their Paths and Professions. While some Professions have only a single Forte, most will have 2 listed Fortes: a Forte for Offense and a Forte for Defense. Fortes are either Mandatory, in which case the Character must apply the appropriate Trait to the Skills they use, or Optional, where the Character may choose whether or not to apply the Trait to a Skill each time they use it. Remember: Your Maximum Aether increases by 1 for each Skill that your Path and Profession have in common.
