  Common
  Training
  Packages
  Training Packages are a feature of HARP that
  allows the Gamemaster to customize his setting with
  unique groups and organizations that the characters
  may join, while also allowing the player to be more
  involved by creating his own Training Packages to also
  work into this setting. This allows the player to feel
  more involved overall.
  However, HARP does not contain a complete list of
  all possible Training Packages that would be common to
  a normal fantasy setting. That is where this document
  comes into play.  Within these pages, you will find some
  of the most common jobs that people in a fantasy
  setting may have detailed as Training Packages. This is
  sure to save the Gamemaster a lot of preparation time
  and also give the players some ideas for creating their
  character’s backgrounds.  The following list is by no
  means complete, but it sure to be useful.
  Note: In the following Training Packages, all instances
  of Lore are considered to be Mundane Lore unless
  otherwise indicated.
