Guild Professions (marked with a G) require membership in a guild. There are lots of good articles online that discuss guilds, apprenticeships, and status.

High-Status Professions (82-100) earn double Income. You are also treated better, even as an apprentice, than most other professions.

Normally, you start with your Professions as a Skill and the item listed. You don't start with the weapon listed.

You can also use this table for hirelings, for figuring out the identity of a corpse or the contents of someone's pockets, or to generate Level 0 characters.

Light weapons deal 1d6 damage. Medium weapons deal 1d8 damage. Heavy weapons deal 1d10 damage and require two hands.

Improvised weapons deal half damage. Useless weapons deal 1 damage on a critical hit and no damage otherwise.

Designer's Note: This change is quite a lot like adding classes to the game, but it feels very different and only really changes a little.
