Hey, good to see you back. It's been lonely
1. I sort of understand, but I am not sure how the profession would factor in. Learning a skill from an item is very easy, all you have to do is set up a common event that teaches the skill and have the item call that common event. Though, of course, it would take a little more work to teach the skill to the right actor.
2. So, this would be like class, as in you learn abilities at specified levels, or does it just let you learn abilities only at that level if you found a scroll?
Also, and these questions applies to both of your suggestions, what is the difference between class and profession? Is profession sort of like an alternate class that allows you to do additional things? So you can be one class and a different profession, and depending on the profession you gain special abilities and stuff? And also, what exact things does profession influence? Just the ability to learn skills? or does it also effect stat growth and stuff.
An exact list of everything a profession does would be nice.
EDIT:
Oh, and I've accepted this request by the way
