Hi all,
About to run a homebrew Jade Regent game in a few weeks and was curious how Profession skill has worked for your players. Have you found it used? With players basically on the road the whole time, I'm curious how or if certain professions may not be justified, or is the money made per week hand-waived?
Obviously, I could see teaching, cooking, fortune-telling, oratory, writing, and stuff that's doable on the road. But what if some one's a logger, smithy, etc?
If the players have a caravan job, that's likely to take up the time they would have spent doing their profession. They can already draw money from the caravan fund for doing these jobs.
You could use the magic item crafting rules (page 549) which say you can get a quarter of the usual amount of work done per day while travelling. Even then, many jobs don't make sense when you're out in the wilderness.
