Smith
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.
