Summary: [MSRD] Move Occupations to ABILITY

Initial Comment:
Occupations need to be moved to their own category. This will allow to select them more freely and is also needed to create an output sheet that displays the standard Modern statblock.

Sounds like the best solution will be CDOM, so pushing this to 6.0

As I have finished the conversion I think the solution is actually very
simple - In all cases of the Class having an occupation use
ADD:ABILITY|CATEGORY=Occupation,TYPE.Occupation

It kicks in at first level. Depending on how you want to work it, we can
either allow it to be modified, or not.

Anyways, I've sent you the two emails with the modifications to the entire
MSRD line. We will need a separate tracker to locate any .MODs that deal
with Occupations as they won't be considered a 'Feat'.

I first need to think this through fully. One of the problems is that
occupations need to be taken at first level. While we can enforce that with
use of PRExxx, some users will want to override that. I don't think the
FEATPRE rule will affect non-Feat Abilities, so we may have to put in rule
for that. But there will be other side effects that happen to be incorrect
when an occupation is taken after 1st level, especially class skills are
problematic here.

If you wish you can start to create the basic abilities already. You'll
have to create 2 different ability categories, Occupation and Internal.
CATEGORY:Internal will later find a lot more use, as it is meant as a
general non-visible category for workarounds and other stuff, that don't
need to be displayed on their own. The skill choices are stuff like that,
so it won't be necessary to create an extra Occupation_skills category for
them, just let them use Internal.

Once you have finished those, please send the files to me first. I will
then see from the practical testing if a rule in the prefs makes sense or
not. Feel free to mail me about any problems you run into.

(Assigning to Frank to catch his eye)

FRANK: I can take a crack at this (I just finished writing about
abilities). I'll need some assistance, but I think I can manage to get the
bulk finished. Let me know.
