_WARNING_!!!: This mod requires the experimental builds for it to work.
This is a mod(s) with many new professions and scenarios. It comes in two separate mods. The Extra\_professions includes professions and and scenarios that do not break the game balance while the custom\_professions one contains ones that do. They both contain my own creations as well as submissions so feel free to request.
9 new professions:
-Dragonblood (PL-SUB) (OTT): The blood of dragons flows through your veins! With humanity gone, you will reign supreme!
-Jack of all trades (PL-SUB) (OTT): Has the tools to do a little bit of everything.
-Loner (PL-SUB) (OTT): Came out alive but it all went to shit again, you will survive in this new zone as well.
-Special Air Service Member (PL-SUB) (OTT): Member of the elite SAS forces makes the cataclysm easier to handle.
-Traceur/Traceuse (PL-SUB): Zombie can’t climb walls unlike you! (Mainlined by Creator).
-Bionic Spec-Op: The latest in military combatants.
-Bionic SWAT Officer: When a bionic police officer gets a promotion.
-Prepper: Member of the outgoing fad of supply hording.
-Awakened: Cataclysm victim in nightwear and a flashlight.
-Bionic Cyclist: Pseudo Combination of Bionic Athlete and Cyclist.
5 new scenarios:
-FEMA Death Camp: You were sent to control the crowd in a fema camp, now they attacked you!
-Prision Break: The cataclysm allowed your sentence to be nullified, all that is left is to leave the prison.
-Prepper Household: You knew something was coming so you prepared, when it did you boarded up your house just to be safe.
-Fantasy Scenario: Were all the out of balance professions lay.
-Mansion Holdout: When the cataclysm reaches your mansion it might be time to go.

It would be amusing if a dragonblood mutant was in it. o3o

Post it and will see.

Alright, lemme get it again…this time I’m gonna look at the point costs of those mutations to see what point cost would make sense.
```auto
{
"type": "profession",
"ident": "dragonblood",
"name": "Dragonblood",
"description": "You are not human. Not entirely, at least. No, you have the blood of a dragon running through your veins.",
"points": 3,
"traits": [
"SCALES",
"WINGS_BAT",
"TAIL_THICK",
"CLAWS",
"FANGS",
"LIZ_EYE",
"FORKED_TONGUE",
"HISS",
"CARNIVORE"
],
"items": {
"both": [
"pants",
"longshirt",
"socks",
"boots"
],
"male": [
"boxer_shorts"
],
"female": [
"bra",
"panties"
]
}
}
```
Scales: 6
Thick Tail: 3
Claws: 2
Fangs: 2
Total: 13
Bat Wings: -1
Hissing Voice: -1
Carnivore: -4
Total: -6
That would mean a point cost of 7 from the mutation values, which is…insane. Not sure what other traits to add on to adjust this.

Night vision and Tough would make it cost only 3 points. It still makes sense,reptiles see better at night and are dragons are tough. Seem good?

Would interact oddly with the traits screen though, if I recall. Unless they fixed that.
Either way…actually picking a less OP trait in place of scales could work, but replacing reptilian eyes doesn’t affect the point cost. It’s reptilian IR that has a point cost.

We can always just give it more items,like a sword and sheath.

That would fit the character I’m basing it own. However…I need an excuse to LOWER the point cost, not raise it.

Or the items could be used to justify the high point cost.

That could work, admittedly…lemme see. Einen moment.

If you are happy with this design I would gladly added to the mod.
Installation was a success.

You’re a jack of all trades with no skills? I was expecting something like a single point in most crafting skills. o3o

it was, but between the utility belt,diving watch, and starting with a duffel bag… they were balanced out… 😑

Guess that makes sense, though…hmm. If one trades the duffel bag for a messenger bag, the diving watch for a wrist watch, and the survivor belt for the tools contained, I wonder how many skills that’d be worth. Maybe 1 each in fabrication, construction, and mechanics?

Reposting this because this is exactly the sort of mod I’ve been hoping for! (Re)introducing the Parkour Practitioner. Like the Ballroom Dancer profession, only cooler. Martial artist build suggested.
```auto

"type": "profession",
"ident": "parkour_practitioner",
"name": {
"male": "Traceur",
"female": "Traceuse"
},
"description": "You've practiced parkour for many years, and made the world your playground. It wouldn't be a lie to say that running is your life. Which is good, because now that the end has come, you're running for your life.",
"points": 2,
"traits": [
"PARKOUR"
],
"skills": [
{
"level": 4,
"name": "dodge"

"items": {
"both" : [

Since this is going a bit slow, I will post the mod right now with the classes posted here. Thank you for contributing and spread the word if you want more. Go to the OP.
