What the title says. I want to create a custom profession to use in the game, complete with starting items, stat bonuses and (maybe) a unique trait. Also, it it possible for characters to spawn with/near a vehicle? My goal is to create a Mad Max type profession called “Road Warrior.” Any help would be appreciated.

Check out The Next Summer scenario; it’s already got a Road Warrior profession, though it’s not currently possible to force the spawn of a vehicle near a character’s starting location.
