    As we do more sourcebooks, you'll see additional elite professions. Right now, of course, the core books can only cover a few fairly broad elite professions. Later, we'll get into elite professions based upon specific branches of study or cultural influences.
    For instance, elite medical professions might include "psionic researcher" (a doctor who works in the specific, highly-specialized field of biopsionic study) or "naturopath" (a physician who uses natural chemicals, herbs, animals and holistic therapy in combination with high-tech trauma care). Klingons might have the elite profession of "Klingon battlefield medic" to represent a doctor who performs fast trauma care for warriors on the front lines, just enough to get them up and moving so that they can die honorably and go to Sto-Vo-Kor.

    Thanks Jess!

    So long as I know she will eventually have some EPs available to her, I am glad to wait. But not too long

    I'm not sure what "too long" is for you. Realize that we probably won't have any new elite professions in the Worlds, Aliens, Creatures or Starships books. That means that the newest elite professions probably won't be out until sometime in 2003, I'm afraid.
    We may do sourcebooks for various careers, potentially. If so, then they will be a prime location for elite professions.
    If there is a lot of demand, I might be convinced to web release an elite profession or two in advance.

    Jess.

    Let me counter your not "too long" question with a "If there is a lot of demand" question?

    What constitutes "a lot"?

    I dunno what constitutes a lot, but seeing those elite professions would definitely interest me (and my players)!!

    Well, I just finished working out my Suk Doctor profession. Oh wait, that's just for my Coda Dune conversion. Sorry to confuse you there...
