Professional

A professional is an individual who gets things done. From a regular Joe who works with his hands to a highly-paid troubleshooter, professionals make adaptable adventurers. Bodyguards, craftsmen, experts at a particular skill or scholarly subject, and even spies, thugs, and hit-men can all come from the ranks of the professionals.

Abilities: Depending on the type of professional you want, any and all of the ability scores will be useful. Professionals hired to do "dirty work" typically favor Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution, while the more cerebral sort of professional will want Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma. In any event, Intelligence has the most impact on the professional's versatility, so even a combat-oriented professional will want high Intelligence.
