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.
