= Careers =
''What you have done shapes what you can do.''

Careers in ''Beyond'' represent a character’s background, experience, and way of life. They replace detailed skill lists.

A Career is not a narrow job description. It reflects a life lived, a service performed, or a role held over time.

When a Career applies to a situation, add its rank to the roll.

== Using Careers ==

Careers apply broadly. If a character’s background reasonably helps, it applies.

Careers may also grant a Bonus Die when especially relevant.

=== Important Note ===

Careers do more than add to rolls. They shape how a character approaches situations.

Two characters with similar abilities may act very differently based on their Careers. A Soldier and a Mercenary may both be skilled fighters, but they bring different expectations, loyalties, and instincts into play.
