Chapter 8: Skills
Silversmithing
A silversmith is one who forges and shapes
silver with an anvil and a hammer. Silver 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 silver
objects can be melted down and the substance
reused. Whenever such metalworking is done, a
Silversmithing 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.
Skinning
Skinning is the removal of skin from a creature,
as well as removing hair from the skin. Whenever
a creature must have its skin removed, a Skinning
skill check must be made.
Check: Roll 3d10 and apply the modifier
from the Common Sense sub-ability. Higher results
correspond with higher quality Skinning.
Smell
Smell is a sense and different than most skills.
Each character must roll 3d10 to determine the quality
of this sense and record this as SP invested. A
character may invest no more than 1d10 SP into
this skill. If a character needs to assess the sensitivity
of their Smell, then they must pass a Smell skill
check.
Check: Roll 3d10 and apply the modifier
from above. Consult the table below concerning
