Sheathemaking
A sheathe is a holder for a weapon such as a
sword, and is usually worn about the waist or on the
back. Whenever a sheathe is to be constructed, a
Sheathemaking skill check must be made.
Check: Roll 3d10 and apply the modifier
from the Common Sense sub-ability. Higher results
correspond with a sheathe of higher quality.
Sight
When it is important for characters to see
well or to spot an object, a Sight skill check is made.
This is different from searching or pillaging a nearby
area, which is the Search skill.
Check: Roll 3d10 and apply the modifier
from Vision. Characters with near-sighted Vision
(see Chap. 2: Body) suffer penalties to Sight skill
checks. Consult the table below concerning TH’s:
Chapter 8: Skills
Shipwright
To successfully build or repair a waterborne
vessel, and assuming the shipwright has the necessary
labor and tools, the shipwright must make a
skill check.
When building a ship, the seams of the
planks are smeared with pitch, or pitch and wax. A
layer of pitch is then applied to the interior of the
hull. The outer hull that is to be underwater is usually
protected by overlapping thin lead plates that
are nailed over a layer of tarred linen.
LC: The learning curve lessens by 3 for every
ship built, and 1 for every ship repaired.
Check: Roll 3d10 and apply the modifier
from the Spatial Intelligence sub-ability. Consider
any prior learning that has been invested. Consult
the table below concerning TH’s:
