Introduction
Welcome to the Lorien Trust Occupational Skills: A Guide to Advancement.
In Erdreja all characters have the ability to improve their skills and knowledge. This is achieved through Occupational Skill Points (OSPs).
The OSP system started moulding itself back in late 1996 and the first tokens and basic OSP skills were created at this time. During the next couple of years various different skills were tried out to see how they fitted in with the rest of the game system.
The main point of OSPs is to allow players to create an extra depth to their character, their background and their knowledge in the game world,
not to allow some players to become overpowered and imbalance the system. Interaction between all players should be on a reasonably fair level, whether that player is an old veteran of events or someone new at their first event. This is not to say that the veteran should not have an edge over the new player or have a greater understanding and knowledge within the game.
