Type Positive Trait
Points -4
Skill Boosts Tailoring: +1

Sewer gives a character a head start in Tailoring. It adds one level to the skill and teaches a wide range of knitting, sewing and leatherwork recipes.

It is a positive trait and costs 4 points at character creation. It suits a long run where the survivor plans to make and repair clothing. Good clothes protect against bites, scratches and cold, so tailoring matters a lot over time.

Sewer Effects

The Tailoring level makes patching and repairing clothes a little better from the start. Tailoring grows with every repair, so the head start speeds up early training.

The trait teaches knitting recipes for warm clothes. A character can knit a Beanie, a Wool Hat, a Scarf, Socks, Legwarmers and a Sweater Vest. Open-Face and Full Balaclavas are on the list too.

Hide and leather recipes come with it. A character can sew Hide Boots, Hide Pants, a Hide Coat, a Hide Jacket, a Hide Hoodie, a Hide Robe and a Hide Hat. A Hide Sleeping Bag keeps the character warm at night. Leather Gloves, a Belt, Sandals and a Leather Water Bag round out the basics.

Carrying gear is covered too. The trait teaches a Small Leather Backpack, several Framepacks and a Tarp Chest Rig. A Holster, a Double Holster, a Bandolier and a Shells Bandolier help a shooter carry ammunition and guns.

Improvised clothing from garbage bags, tarps and twine also comes with the trait.

Picking Sewer

Sewer fits a long run with hunting or trapping, since hides feed the leather recipes. The 4 points buy a full wardrobe of crafting options.

It pairs well with Hunter, which supplies the hides. Bushcrafter adds the tools to work bone and stone.

A short run that relies on looted clothes will get less from it.

Notes

  • Adds one level of Tailoring.
  • Teaches knitting, hide and leather recipes.
  • Framepacks and holsters help carry more gear.
  • Hunter pairs well as a supply of hides.
