{{IQ/Average}}

''Defaults:'' {{IQ-5}} and others.

This is the ability to work non-precious metals by hand. You ''must'' specialize:

:''Copper:'' Copper itself and its alloys, including brass and bronze. Traditionally, a smith who worked with these metals was called a "brownsmith." ''Default:'' {{Jeweler-4}}.

:''Iron:'' The skill of being a blacksmith. Also covers steel, at tech levels where it exists.

:''Lead and Tin:'' Any of the softer, "white" metals, including alloys such as pewter. The traditional name for such a smith was "whitesmith." ''Default:'' {{Jeweler-4}}.

These specialties default to one another at -4.

This skill is [[IQ]]-based, but [[ST]] is important, and some tools have a "Minimum ST," just like weapons.
