Crafty speeds up training in every crafting skill. Experience in those skills counts for more each time it is earned.
It is a positive trait and costs 3 points at character creation. It suits a builder who plans to settle down and make things. Players who want to forge, build, cook, sew and repair in a long run will level faster with it.
Crafty Effects
Crafting skills gain about three tenths more experience. The bonus covers the whole Crafting group. That group includes Blacksmithing, Carpentry, Carving, Cooking, Electrical and Glassmaking. Knapping, Masonry, Mechanics, Pottery, Tailoring and Welding are in it too.
Every action that trains these skills benefits. Building walls trains Carpentry faster. Repairing cars trains Mechanics faster. Cooking meals trains Cooking faster.
The bonus stacks with skill books. A skill book multiplies experience while it is read, and Crafty adds its own boost on top. Together they make a big difference to how quickly a crafter reaches high levels.
Combat, survival and agility skills train at the normal rate.

Picking Crafty
Crafty clashes with Fast Learner and Slow Learner. A player has to pick between a broad boost and a crafting boost.
Fast Learner costs 6 points and gives the same bonus to almost every skill. Crafty costs half that and focuses on crafting. A builder who cares little about fighting skills gets better value from Crafty.
A fighter or a survivalist should look at Fast Learner instead. The extra 3 points buy faster training in combat and outdoor skills too.
Notes
- About three tenths more experience in crafting skills.
- Combat and survival skills train at the normal rate.
- The bonus stacks with skill books.
- A cheaper choice than Fast Learner for pure builders.
