Craft Skill
The Craft Skill represents just about any trade involving the making of a particular good. Common craft skills are listed below (along with their appropriate attributes), but a character may choose to specialize in any craft appropriate to the setting (even if not listed below). Craft Skills may be broad, such as Tailoring and Weaving, or they may be specific, such as Dressmaking and Basket Weaving. When utilizing a more specific skill to complete a task, the Difficulty of the task is reduced by 1 or more. You may choose to take the Craft Skill multiple times, each time training in a different craft.
In addition to granting the ability to Craft Goods for use or sale, your chosen craft skill includes knowledge of the value of crafted goods and the best market for a particular craft. Lore for your chosen craft skill includes the ability to recognize the work of famous craftsman, to determine the origin of a crafted good based on style and materials, and knowledge of methods and processes used for your craft.
