BOP stands for the [[Backgrounds|Background]], Occupation, and Profession system in MythCraft. Every background allows you to gain a profession, except for the [[urchin]] background. [[Backgrounds]] also specify that if you pick a profession with a certain occupation tag, then you gain additional Skill Points.  
While you are an adventurer, there is much more to your life than just battling beasts, hoarding treasure, and going on quests. When you’re not actively adventuring, you enjoy indulging in your personal interests and hobbies. Maybe you’re an avid reader and love nothing more than curling up with a good book in the local library or university. Or perhaps you’re a skilled blacksmith and spend your downtime creating intricate pieces of [[armor]] or [[weapons]]. Maybe you have a talent for playing music, and can often be found entertaining your fellow adventurers with songs on your lute. Whatever it may be, you find that having a hobby or interest outside of adventuring helps you to relax, unwind, and forget about the dangers and hardships of the road. Downtime between adventures also provides you with an opportunity to cultivate your reputation and manage a business.  


Each BOP will give you Skill points and your starting [[equipment]].
