| + | Many of these skills are in clusters. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Skill Clusters === | ||
| + | |||
| + | Bowyer, Engraver, Gem setter, Bone carver, Clothier, Stone crafter, Weaver, and Wood crafter all improve Agility, Creativity, Spatial Sense, and Kinesthetic Sense. Add Strength to this cluster and you get Carpenter. Add Endurance as well and you get another major cluster: Mason, Armorsmith, Metal crafter, Metalsmith, Weaponsmith, Glassmaker, and Leatherworker all improve Strength, Agility, Endurance, Creativity, Spatial Sense, and Kinesthetic Sense. | ||
| + | |||
| + | There's a group of agricultural skills: Butcher, Dyer, Grower, Milker, Miller, and Thresher all test Strength, Agility, Endurance, and Kinesthetic Sense. A similar group of attributes is linked to four skills that feed into or rely on the ashery somehow: Lye maker, Potash maker, Soaper, and Wood burner all improve Strength, Toughness, Endurance, and Kinesthetic Sense. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The wide swath of general and close combat skills test Strength, Agility, Toughness, Willpower, Spatial Sense, and Kinesthetic Sense. Ranged combat/hunting skills are linked with Agility, Focus, Spatial Sense, and Kinesthetic Sense. The social skills generally want Linguistic Ability, Empathy, and Social Awareness. | ||
| + | |||
| + | There are a few little coincidences. Surgeon and Suturer class with the ranged combat skills. Miner and Biter form a group. (Bite the earth!) Wood cutter, Swimmer, and Wrestler are a group, the Upper Body Strength cluster. Remove Strength from that cluster and you get Crutch-walker, the Lower Body Weakness skill. Diagnostician and Appraiser are a group, a festering wound and an elven trade delegation have certain similarities. Trapper and Building designer, Mechanic and Siege engineer, Pump operator and Armor user, all pairs, and perhaps that last has some cross-training potential. | ||

| − | Focus and Spatial Sense are referred to as "++", or two steps above default.

| + | == Evaluation of Attributes == | ||
| + | Attributes are evaluated relative to the racial average set. So a Patience of 1681 is +1, a sum of patience, and a Toughness of 1681 is also +1, tough, because both of those are +, but a Focus (++) of 1681 is only 0, no verbal evaluation under Thoughts and Preferences, because dwarves are expected to have a high focus. An Agi (-) of 1681, meanwhile, is +3, extremely agile, because no one thinks a dwarf can move that fast. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Toady One assures that these evaluations are for color only, every in-game action is tested against the underlying number. | ||
