When you take skill ranks in Profession they must be applied to a specific profession. You are familiar with the tasks and knowledge associated with that profession. You can craft items if appropriate to your profession. You may take ranks in more than one profession

Professions get two abilities tied to their skill checks, you may use either ability for determining your skill ranks

If your profession has the ability to craft specific items, those items will have a DC, which you must meet in order to make progress on that item. For every two hours you dedicate to crafting the item, roll your profession check against the DC of the item you are working on. If you pass the DC, each point in your roll is converted into Units of Work. If you fail the check, you make no progress on your project. Once you have the necessary units to complete the item, you finish the crafted item

Longer working sessions
If you are working an entire day on a project, you may work up to 8 hours on your project. After that, if you continue working, your rolls are made at disadvantage. Roll a check for every two hours that you work

Professions may have overlapping skill sets with the other skill families. You may roll your profession check against these related skill DCs as if you had put ranks into that skill, but only for the sub-skills that are listed

You have a general knowledge of your profession. You also have knowledge of the medicinal properties of substances, foods, plants, etc. Answering a question regarding your profession requires a check correlating to the difficulty of the question (Easy, Moderate, Hard, Near Impossible)
