Editing S&S: Character Creation (section)

==[[S&S: Occupations | '''OCCUPATIONS:''']]== 
Once the Race and Class are selected, an occupation may be decided for the character. Occupations are typically non-adventuring class careers that a player character has most likely learned prior to gaining an adventuring class. It's what player characters did - or do - for a living. One or more such trades are able to be selected or gained by rolling randomly on the character occupation table. Occupations may increase ability scores, award abilities and skills, and can be a source of income. A GameMaster may restrict the number of occupations characters have, if they wish; or can restrict the benefits of gaining more than one occupation. GameMasters may also rule that certain occupations are restricted from certain character races, classes, or other conditions in a way similar to how Class & Race Combination Restrictions are handled. The GameMaster is encouraged to allow players some freedom to use occupations to help develop good, solid character concepts. In any case, occupations are not required to be selected for characters, however, the benefits of having an occupation are fairly substantial.
