Chapter 8: Skills
Appraise
The skill to Appraise a precious stone, usually
a gem or jewel, is valued in nearly every humanoid
community. To estimate the value of a precious
stone, a skill check must be passed.
Check: Roll 3d10 and apply the modifier
from the sub-ability of Analytic Intelligence.
Kobolds, trolls, and other creatures familiar with
precious stones receive a bonus of + 5. If the appraisal
of precious stones is the character’s main livelihood,
then they receive a + 5 to the roll. The
Aedile should consult the table below and determine
the appraised value:

Architecture
Concerning the soundness and design of
large objects, Architecture as a skill entails buildings,
bridges, castles, and even siege engines.
LC: The LC lessens by 2 per month devoted
to full-time study.
Check: Roll 3d10 and apply the average of
the modifiers for the Math and Spatial Intelligence
sub-abilities. A check may be made for 2 reasons,
either to assess the stability of current Architecture
or to design stable Architecture. Either way, the
difficulty is identical. Below is a guideline for TH:

Armor, General Type
It is possible to be skilled in general types
of armor, maximizing the effectiveness of the armor
when it is worn. 3 types exist: light, medium,
and heavy. A character may become skilled in each
of these 3 types. Light armor includes a gambeson,
studded leather, and leather. Medium armors include
brigandine, scalemail, chainmail, and banded
mail. Heavy armors are the various forms of
platemail. Unlike other skills, this skill may not be
increased continually with SP and there is no skill
check. Instead, once 5 SP have been invested in
this skill, it increases CA by 1 whenever such armor
is worn. CA may be increased simultaneously by
both Armor (Specific) and Armor (General).
