Careers
Careers are how Characters make money, gain Skills, and obtain Knowledge. Any Skill can be used by a character but Skills granted from Careers gain a Competence Bonus of +3 to the total score. Ranks added to Skills are considered training put into them and is done when leveling up at a Rest spot. Knowledge is what players have learned from studying intensely. The only exception to this is the Common Knowledge which is basic understanding and common sense. If a player is not trained in a Knowledge, they can instead use Common to see what generic and basic understanding they have gained from life experience. However, this can provide misleading or even wrong information at times if the Common Knowledge on the topic is based in myth or word of mouth.
Every Career has three Career Abilities unique to the career that cannot be gained in any other way. These are automatically granted to a Character who has the Career. Along with this, each Career comes with a Career Kit that has one Tool and one Outfit, which are used with their Abilities. Many of the bonuses granted by abilities are in conjunction with the Tool or Outfit, and are circumstantial. Outfits only grant bonuses outlined by the Career Bonuses and grant a +0 to Melee Reduction and Spell Reduction. Armor cannot be worn with the Outfit as it covers the entire body unless stated otherwise. The player must decide on whether they are wearing their Outfit or Armor, and takes a Full Round Action to change between.
All Careers are capable of making money and is the primary source of income for all Characters. In order to make money the Character can conduct a Perform (Career) check, can be substituted with a check of one of the skills or knowledges that are associated with the characters chosen career, to attempt to gain wealth. All Characters have a Starting Wealth that depends on the career. This cannot be changed once rolled except by performing a Perform (Career) check to gain money. What this performance does depends on the career and is treated as if a service has been done for someone or goods have been sold. It is up to the Verse Master as to whether a Performance check can be conducted and if clients are available. How much money the Character gains depends on their Wealth Die (WD), which is set by their Starting Wealth. The amount of success they gain depends on the DC that is overcome as shown on the Performance Chart. Failure to meet the minimum means that no wealth is gained, the Performance failed, or the job was either left incomplete or canceled by the client. All Wealth received is paid in the form of the campaign setting’s base currency pieces (p).
Perform (Career) DC | Wealth (p) |

All armor and weapons a vigilante has can be modified to hide their identity, and have the color patterns and symbols the vigilante identifies with. Whenever they are not utilizing their vigilante persona, they are considered in their secret identity. In order for someone to not recognize them as their vigilante self, the vigilante must make a Disguise check with a +10 circumstance bonus while in their Commoner Disguise.

Split Ethics: The Vigilante holds different morals depending on their persona. As a result, their Purity and Corruption depends on the persona that is active.

The actions of one persona is opposite of the other as a result, further distancing the two in the public mind.
