Profession

Wisdom.
  Profession reflects a character’s aptitude for making money at your occupation. Profession relates to a character’s ability to make the most of his money, improve his earning potential, and demonstrate an aptitude at developing a career. The more ranks a character has in the skill, the more power he has to rise in his chosen field and accumulate wealth.   Check: A character makes Profession checks to improve his or her Wealth bonus every time he attains a new level. The DC for the check is the character’s current Wealth bonus. If the character succeeds at the Profession check, his Wealth bonus increases by +1. For every 5 by which the character exceeds the DC, his Wealth bonus increases by an additional +1. A character can’t take 10 or take 20 when making a Profession check to improve his or her Wealth bonus.   How many ranks a character has in the Profession skill (including ranks the character may have just acquired after gaining a level) also adds to the Wealth bonus increase the character receives upon gaining a new level. In addition to the Wealth bonus increase a character gains from your Profession check result (if the check succeeds), the number of ranks the character has in this skill increases his Wealth bonus as follows.  
    Special: If the Gamemaster deems it appropriate, a character can add his or her Profession modifier when making a Reputation check to deal with a work- or career-related situation.   Every time a character takes the Windfall feat, he or she gets a cumulative +1 bonus on all Profession checks.
