Editing Mano a Mano:Occupations (section)

===Requirements===

Most occupations require minimum ability modifiers in one or more specific abilities.  This reflects the training and education required by the occupation.  An occupation may also require the character to have another occupation, or to have had that occupation in the past. This may indicate professional experience or rank.  Occupations might require other specific accomplishments - things the character must do before acquiring the occupation. For example, a character might have to win a competition, or spend a certain amount of money.

Opportunities to acquire the occupation can be limited. Some occupations require the character to be elected or appointed. If there are a strictly limited number of positions available, a character may be unable to acquire the occupation until there is a vacancy.  For example, a kingdom usually has only one king at a time.

Occupations might discriminate against certain types of characters.
The occupation may not be allowed for characters of a particular template, sex, age, culture, social class or political alignment.
If the occupation is allowed but significantly less compatible or popular with certain types of characters, explain why. (Or explain why the occupation is particularly popular or compatible with certain types of characters.)
The occupation might also depend on the character's social connections, reputation or popularity, or the occupation might only be available as an inherited position.
