Um.... I spy three new professions excluding a fourth profession that isn't in the list!
I notice the Demonologist missing from the above list (although I guess a lot of people just consider demonology as just a variant of sorcery rather than a full-blown profession), but 3 new professions? Are they in the Players' Book? I guess I'll need to clear a weekend or two when it comes out to update the
Character Generator...
And for people that have missed (or forgotten) the original thread in the Yahoo Forum, from which I think this Forum post follows, you can check it out here:

To summarise my own opinion, none of the professions really fully capture the low-fantasy, pseudo-Dark Age atmosphere that sets Dragon Warriors apart, so all could do with a bit of a tweak in that direction. Consider the noble's 'Face Down' ability in Conan:

'Sorcerer' has been substituted for 'Noble' throughout.
Sorcerers can avoid a fight through sheer presence alone. Without saying so much as a word or lifting finger, sorcerers give off a strong message that they are not to be messed with. Even burly barbarians, who by rights should be the more intimidating of the two, often find themselves compelled to back down just by the hard look in the sorcerer’s eye. The force of the sorcerer’s personality drives home the belief that if he is harmed, far worse things will happen to the culprit than physical punishment alone. If combat has not already begun (which means no attack rolls have been made) a sorcerer with this ability may attempt to face down a potential opponent.
Sounds like an appropriate Skills of the Mighty for Sorcerers to me...
