Coppersmithing
A coppersmith is one who forges and shapes
copper with an anvil and a hammer. Copper is
heated in a forge and then hammered into the shape
desired. The process of forging improves the structure
of the metal. Forged metal is stronger and exhibits
greater resistance to fatigue and impact. The
forge consists of an open hearth made of firebrick.
Coal is used to fuel the forge, and bellows are inserted
to fan air as needed. Broken or obsolete copper
objects can be melted down and the substance
reused. Whenever such metalworking is done, a
Coppersmithing skill check must be made.
Check: Roll 3d10 and apply the average of
the modifiers from the sub-abilities Strength and
Spatial Intelligence. Higher results correspond with
better quality metalwork. The Aedile will determine
the TH for each application.
Cosmetics
Women apply cosmetics to themselves or
each other to enhance their beauty. Cosmetics are
not applied to males. The modifiers below only apply
to females. If make-up is applied to a male, then
consult the Aedile to determine the effects. Whenever
make-up is applied, a Cosmetics skill check must
be made.
First, foundation is applied to the face, which
may range from the poisonous white lead to the
safer chalk or orris root. A healthy glow is restored
by applying red ochre. Second, eyes are given special
attention; lamp-black is applied to eyelashes and
possibly eyebrows. Finally, a salve made of alkanet
root and ochre is applied to the lips. Although it
does not affect Facial Charisma, moisturizing cream
is often applied to the body after leaving the baths.
Check: Roll 3d10 and apply the average of
the modifiers from the sub-abilities Spatial Intelligence
and Intuition. Consult the table below to
determine the effect on Facial Charisma:
