Cook

When you spend your entire life focusing on a specific profession other skills can be neglected. That is not to say that those other skills are not important, only that their development has given way to another. A knight can read a battlefield or opponent and accurately guess what is to come, but they cannot forge new armor. A magician can pull energy from the universe and focus it into a single driven action, but are useless in the wielding of a shield. The focus of one skillset leaves other skills undeveloped.

Every person in existence needs to eat. Healthy meals provide great benefits to those that consume them, but what does it take to prepare a healthy meal? Well, it takes the dedication required to focus on any skillset to be focused on learning how to cook. A healthy diet allows a body to perform properly. This is where Cooks step in.

Bakers, on the other hand, perfect the art of making pastries and breads. Commonly seen as a profession for the wealthy, bakers are frequently sought after for their fine delicacies.
