[[Professional]]s with [[Adjustment]] ("Adapted Professionals") seem to acquire a number of special abilities not available to other [[Professional]]s.


For a while, it was assumed that those abilities were derived from the acquisition of the Adjustment "profession" itself, but more recently, a new theory has emerged that links each special ability with a given Milestone. Leading Labyrinth scholar, [[Charles Babbage]] has tentatively associated abilities with [[Milestones]]. Having [[Professional]]s with varying [[Milestones|Milestone]] levels will allow one to compare abilities and confirm them.

Adaptation is seemingly a mechanic by which the Labyrinth improves unqualified people whose Potentials are all below the requirements.

Special abilities

Adapted Professionals...

  • gain one gear item for every creature killed until they have obtained one for every slot
  • immediately learn any skill that matches their current Profession skill sphere if they equip a gear with it


Milestones

It provides Milestones, similar to a Profession, without being one itself. Adaptation Milestones do not provide skill ranks. Each new Milestone is a painful process, as the Professional is forcefully modified without the benefit of a Profession.

Milestone Effects
Adaptation I +1 all Potentials, 5% faster leveling
Adaptation II +3 all Potentials, 10% faster leveling
Adaptation III +6 all Potentials, 15% faster leveling
Adaptation IV +10 all Potentials, 20% faster leveling (assumed)

Professionals

There are six known Adapted Professionals
