Character Professions
The reasoning behind setting these up is to allow characters to be more well rounded than the normal rules allow for. All Scholars speak different languages and know some History and have some Investigation. These are the things that make a person a Scholar. But with so few points to spend in the character creation process characters tend to be less developed than they probably should be. This will allow scholars to have several languages plus know some History plus be able to Investigate stuff.
Buying a Character Package costs 4 Ability Points. Mortals, are limited to 1 Package. Vampires can buy a second Package at the cost of 5 additional Ability Points.
