The system of Profession names is a rather simple prefix-name system.

Base names (simple)

Each of those professional "lines" is one in which the Profession highest requirement is a single Potential.

Tier
Potential
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 11 13 14 18 19
Agility Dancer Whirler Hoofer Swinger Waltzer ? ? ? Coryphee ? ? ? ?
Constitution Defender Protector Barrier Guardian Sentinel Wall Bulwark ? Anchor Bastion ? ? ?
Dexterity Pointer Piercer Gouger Stabber Borer Lancer Driller ? Spiker ? ? ? ?
Focus Watcher Sentry Spotter Surveyor Monitor Observer Watchman ? ? ? ? ? ?
Fortitude Organiser Planner Deviser Opportunist Schemer ? ? ? ? Enabler ? ? ?
Intelligence Arcanist Aetherist Aethershaper Spellwrangler Spellbringer Spellthrower Spellbender Aethersmith Spellspinner Spellwright Spelldriver Aetherwalker Spellmancer
Presence Pilot Leader Commander Tactician Strategist General Marshal ? ? ? Vanquisher ? ?
Stamina Shieldbearer Shieldbringer Shieldwielder Shieldrunner Shieldholder Shieldmaker Shieldmaster ? ? ? ? ? ?
Strength Breaker Smasher Grinder Destroyer Mauler Crusher ? ? ? ? ? ? Enforcer
Wisdom Mender Hospitaler Assistant Fixer Ancillary Physics ? ? Setter ? Salver ? ?

Examples:

Mixed names (dual)

Each of those professional "lines" is one in which the Profession highest requirements are a pair of Potentials.

Tier
Potential
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 15 20
Agility-Focus Tightwalker ? ? Balancer Equilibrist Gymnast ? ? ? ? Aerialist
Agility-Intelligence Aethercaller Aetherpuller Aetherbringer Aethermaker Aethercatcher Aethertracker ? Aetherscupper ? ? ?
Constitution-Presence Tutor Counsellor Advisor Manager Mentor Instructor ? ? ? ? ?
Constitution-Wisdom Layman Page Squire Banneret Knight Lord Liege ? Sovereign ? ?
Dexterity-Fortitude Juggler Fiddler ? ? Shuffler ? ? ? ? ? ?
Dexterity-Intelligence Scout Explorer Searcher Pioneer Pathfinder Pathmaker ? ? ? Pathcarver ?
Focus-Stamina Torchbearer Spearhead Bellwether ? Discoverer ? ? ? ? ? ?
Fortitude-Strength Rock Boulder Pillar Monolith Sarsen Buttress ? ? ? ? ?
Presence-Stamina Showman Performer Virtuoso Thespian Maestro Ringmaster ? ? ? ? ?
Strength-Wisdom Crusader ? Cavalier Paladin ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Examples:

Base prefixes (simple)

Those prefixes are added to denote that the Profession requires an additional, lower-value Potential. This starts at tier 3.

Potential Prefix
Agility Light
Constitution Massive
Dexterity Precise
Focus Targeted
Fortitude Resilient
Intelligence Calculating
Presence Imposing
Stamina Abiding
Strength Solid
Wisdom Cautious

Examples:

Mixed Prefixes (dual)

Mixed prefixes indicate the presence of two additional potentials of lower value than the main one(s). The order of appearance of the prefixes on the descriptor matters. This starts at tier 5.

Second
First
Agility Constitution Dexterity Focus Fortitude Intelligence Presence Stamina Strength Wisdom
Agility Spry Rapid Scaling Steadfast ? ? Competing ? ?
Constitution Flexible ? Applied ? Rational Manifest Enduring Opposing ?
Dexterity Prompt Unbreakable Critical Prepared ? ? ? Piercing ?
Focus Strict ? Exacting Purposeful Astute ? Eager ? ?
Fortitude Coordinated ? ? Indomitable Dynamic ? ? ? Stoic
Intelligence ? ? ? Observant Perseverant Masterful Obsessive ? Gifted
Presence ? Explicit ? Projecting ? Spectacular ? Impassable Teaching
Stamina Quick Immutable ? ? ? ? Unmissable ? Learned
Strength ? Weighty Inevitable ? ? ? Terrible ? Sound
Wisdom ? ? ? ? Tempered ? Connected Inflexible Supporting

Examples:

Multi-prefix professions

Starting at tier 7, some Professions start having the potential for multiple prefixes, as they have one main requirement, and three additional requirements.

Example:

  • Single, then dual, then main name: Calculating Manifest Watchman (FOC, then CON-PRE, then INT, could also theoretically be identified as Spectacular Massive Watchman).
