What is an occupation and what is a distinguishing characteristic? #136

Closed AndreasDavour closed 3 years ago

AndreasDavour commented 3 years ago

In 3.1 As-You-Go Method you specify that the Concept is an Occupation and a Distinguishing Characteristic. Then there's a bullet point list of examples. Those examples are all an occupation, and a descriptive qualifier. It's very easy to think these are examples of Occupation and Distinguishing Characteristic, but when you read further down that you get two abilities from your Concept you might get the idea that e.g. "haughty priestess" is an Distinguishing Characteristic, which begs the question of what's the Occupation, as clearly a priestess sounds like an occupation.

Maybe examples of Occupations as well if that's a separate thing, or more clearly show that "haughty" is one ability and "priestess" is another.

Capitalizations intentional on game terms.

Thanks, I'll ponder

Sorry, but this has nothing to do with degrees!

iancooper commented 3 years ago

Those are examples of Occupation and Distinguishing Characteristic, though this was linked in error. I'll see if I can make the text clearer on this

@AndreasDavour Not sure why, but you seemed to relink the fewer degrees PR. I think it might have been GitHub being 'too smart' originally. I've unlinked again.

AndreasDavour commented 3 years ago

Weird. I did no linking intentionally at least. Could be it is trying to "user friendly" in some way then.
