==Appointed Nobles Selection==
 
Appointed nobles are chosen by the player. There are certain social skills that are relevant for each appointed noble's job, and not all dwarves will gain experience in a given skill. In fact, some dwarves will never gain experience in certain skills. This is determined by each dwarf's personal traits, and it is therefore important to select the dwarf with the appropriate set of traits for each position:
 
 
==Bugs==
 
Nobles appointed by the Duke, Count, or Baron cannot be manually assigned, and they never immigrate to your fortress - as a result, it is not possible to get a dungeon master, tax collector, or hammerer without modifying the raws.
 
 
Nobles may have impossible demands, like cardinal leather items (although this is not necessarily a bug. After all, dwarves are stupid).
