Profession Package Deal Groups
The following sections group Packages thematically.

Warrior Package Deals
A staple of many Fantasy settings, Warriors are skilled armsmen and fighters adept at the use of martial force.
Compared to other professions they emphasize personal skill and learned techniques backed up by physical conditioning. Warriors often rely on equipment, such as armor and well crafted swords and can be significantly disadvantaged if deprived of such. Many also often call upon special skills and honed talent to pull off impressive physical feats.

Rogue Package Deals
A staple of many Fantasy settings, Rogues are skilled complements to any group of player characters. Perhaps the most versatile of all professions, no two Rogues need be the same, as there is a tremendous amount of room for customization. Each Rogue's personal ability set is a story just waiting to be told; the best Rogue characters have abilities backed up by a detailed background establishing of how they have acquired such experience.
Compared to other Professions they emphasize personal talent and learned techniques backed up by quick wits and quicker feet. Rogues often rely on equipment, such as lock picks, house breaker harnesses, Thief's Tools, and most also know their way around a dagger or other sharp implement, but a Rogue's most powerful asset is their own self.

Pugilist Package Deals
Not all warriors fight with steel in their hands; some fight bare handed instead.
Much like other warriors these Pugilists emphasize personal skill and learned techniques backed up by physical conditioning. Where more conventional combatants rely on equipment, such as armor and well crafted swords, Pugilists need nothing to be deadly.

COMPOSITE PACKAGES

DETAILED PACKAGES
The above Packages are designed to be Generic and reusable; thus the Internal Master Package might be used as the basis for numerous different Monastic Orders, semi-religious cults, and individual characters with no relation to each other. Following are a few Packages which are distinct and contain specific flavor; they place requirements on a given setting to allow them to exist rather than conforming to suit the need.
Many GM's already have a well defined setting in place, and will not be interested in adding new elements to that setting. Others may be amenable to grafting an organization or tradition such as those below into their setting so long as it is a localized change and doesn't have a large effect on the rest of the setting. Some others may be amenable to the concept, but prefer that it be adapted to suit some existing elements. In short, check with your GM and be prepared to work with them if one of the below packages catches your interest.
Order of the Closed Fist Hao Master

Psion Package Deals
The Psionic System is described here.
Found in some Fantasy settings, Psions are powerful complements to any adventuring group. No two Psions are exactly the same and there is a tremendous amount of room for customization, making this a very versatile Profession. Each Psion's personal ability set is a story just waiting to be told; establishing why a particular Psion is more of an expert at subtle Telepathic Powers than at overt Psychokinesis, or has much more experience with Clairsentient information gathering Powers than with Psychometabolic form manipulation all make for great background fodder.
Compared to other professions Psions emphasize inner power. While Wizards need their books and Priests need their deities, Psions need only a strong will. Psionicists trade the certainty and raw magnitude of Magic for a less reliable but infinitely more flexible capability.
Many Psionicists use their Powers to enhance their skill in another profession; such as a Psychometabolicist that uses mastery over their own flesh to improve their fighting ability, or a Psychoporter that uses their ability to bend space to get in and out of places in pursuit of a career as a professional thief.
