Gameplay: Artisan skills

Artisan skills available to the player character.

 

 

 

These three particular overviews of skills are not all the skills available, but these are some I've been focusing on and reworking, as I'm largelly satisfied with the rest.

Artisan skills

All artisan skills start with a basic set of knowledge levels, and then branch out into more specialised knowledge levels. This branching out represents a particular set of artisan abilities within a given artisan skill. Thanks to this branching, player characters can naturally create more varied character builds than if a particular skill was just a monolithic value. (For similar branching in the social skills, please see the Cultural ken skill in Diplomatic and social skills.)

Though it is possible to gradually learn several specialised skills, it is better to focus on one or at most two at any given time, and learning to be good at that particular chosen skill. It is rare to non-existent that someone would be a jack-of-all-trades. Certain artisan skills are more closely connected to certain player character specialisations than other artisan skills.

These skill trees are not completed yet, and there might be one or two other skills I might add later, so don't be worried about their being less content.
