Nice work.
I notice the base prostitute has the Courtesan skill, while the Courtesan Prostitute doesn’t (has Bargain instead). Shouldn’t it be the other way around?
I like the idea of making the skill points more personalised, rather than the current specified.
I notice that the street prostitute has the Courtesan skill, while the Courtesan prostitute has Bargain… should they not be the other way around?
And, only one occupation has sorcery. At the very least, there should be a sorcery student/apprentice occupation.
