# Profession and Skill Matrix
|
|
|
|
> Contract: exactly 12 base professions (`PR-B01..PR-B12`) and 24 advanced professions (`PR-A01..PR-A24`).
|
|
> Shared state definitions and chapter IDs are authoritative in `CAMPAIGN_AND_CHAPTERS.md`.
|
|
|
|
## Profession Rules
|
|
|
|
- A recruit equips one profession and two listed active skills; the listed passive is always active.
|
|
- A base profession is learned from its chapter license. An advanced profession requires mastery of both named base professions, its chapter trial, and the stated field proof. No advanced profession is a strict statistical upgrade: each narrows targeting or adds a failure surface.
|
|
- AI text is the default deterministic policy. Players may move one condition higher or lower in the later priority editor, but may not invent unavailable targets.
|
|
- Resource maximums are per unit and reset each encounter unless stated. `Tuned` reduces the next resource cost by 1.

Passive **Stable Difference**: at four distinct roles, party resists first Hush each 10 seconds. | Agreement only on actual exclusive buffs; Reply with ally holding a legal counter, else damage role. | Counters uniformity tests; fragile in duplicate-role teams. Synergy all mixed parties. Requires `PR-B12`+`PR-B03` or `PR-B07`, `CH-08`, complete three linked telegraphs with four roles. | Open circular staff with unmatched colored segments, interlocking-not-merging VFX, ensemble chord whose instruments remain separable. |

|
|
|
| Dimension | Coverage result |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| Exact counts | 12 rows beginning `PR-B`; 24 rows beginning `PR-A`; 36 total. |
|
|
| Active/passive completeness | Every row names two actives and one passive with a trigger, cost, state change, or exact power value. |
|
|
| Target/AI completeness | Every row states legal target intent and a default conditional priority. |
|
|
| Counterplay | Every row names at least one counter or failure surface; no profession is a pure upgrade. |
|
|
| Advancement | Base rows name branches; every advanced row names base mastery, chapter, and field proof. |
|
|
| Production | Every row specifies silhouette, authored action requirements, non-color-only VFX, and an audio identity. |
|
|
| Differentiation | Resources include accumulators, alternators, cycles, signed tracks, stored tags, placed plans, and links; no two rows share the same full decision loop. |
