Professions (Professions Help)

Professions are one of the most important aspects of T2T. In addition to their roleplaying possibilities, they also have a huge effect on which abilities a character is good at. While it is possible for a character to use almost any ability, those not belonging to his or her profession will be much more difficult to do effectively (if at all). In other words, a player wishing to cast a lot of spells should create a wizard or necromancer, or else they will have a very frustrating time. The same applies to any desired professional ability. This may be mitigated to an extent with secondary skills; see 'help skills2'.

To join a particular profession, you will need to seek a trainer NPC: they are usually located in towns and should be easy to find. However, if you are still in doubt feel free to ask the newbiehelpers for guidance! Once at a trainer, type 'study' to join his or her profession. See 'help trainers' for information about other available trainer commands.

This is a list of the available professions:
