====== Professional Edges ======

Professional Edges are very special abilities that reflect many years of practicing a particular trade. In some cases they may also represent special blessings from higher powers as well.

These Edges help you create a character who is far more competent in his chosen field than most others. If you want to make a very effective Mad Scientist, for example, you could combine the [[edges:arcane-background|Arcane Background (Weird Science)]] with the [[edges:gadgeteer|Gadgeteer]] and [[edges:mr-fix-it|Mr. Fix It]] Edges.

Professional Edges represent many years of training so their Requirements are quite high. Players may purchase Professional Edges after character creation, but should usually lead up to it story-wise by practicing the affected trade during down-time or in between adventures. The time spent acquiring one of these abilities is subjective and up to the Game Master, but makes the game much more believable if a little narrative time is spent training.

Stacking: Bonuses to the same Trait from different Professional Edges do not stack. If you make a hero with both the [[edges:woodsman|Woodsman]] and the [[edges:thief|Thief]] Edges, for example, he gains +2 to his [[skills:stealth|Stealth]] skill, not +4.
