Class	Traits
Type	Positive Trait
Points	-2
Effect	Can carve wood and bone items.
Skill Boosts	Carving: +2

Whittler lets a character carve items from wood and bone. It adds two levels of Carving and teaches a set of carving recipes.

It is a positive trait and costs 2 points at character creation. It suits a long run where the survivor makes tools and weapons from natural materials. For its low price, it is one of the cheapest ways into crafting from scratch.

Whittler Effects

---

The two Carving levels make wooden and bone items better from the start. Training Carving also goes faster with the extra levels.

The trait teaches how to sharpen bones. A character can sharpen a bone, a long bone or a jawbone into a tool or weapon.

Bone crafts come with it. A character can carve a Bone Fishing Hook, a Bone Sewing Needle, a Bone Awl and large bone beads. A Bone War Hatchet Head is on the list for a fighter.

Wooden crafts round it out. A character can carve Knitting Needles, a Wooden Fork, a Wooden Spade, Goblets, a Bucket and a Whistle. A Bat and a Short Bat give simple weapons, and a Fleshing Tool helps with hides.

Foraging for firewood gets a big boost. Firewood turns up about three tenths more often.

Picking Whittler

---

For 2 points, Whittler is a strong pick for any self-sufficient build. Bone and wood are easy to find in the wild.

It pairs well with Hunter, since hunting supplies bones. Sewer uses the needles and fleshing tool for leatherwork. Bushcrafter covers stone tools on top.

A short run built on looting will get less from it.

Notes

---

• Adds two levels of Carving.
• Bones can be sharpened into tools and weapons.
• Wooden bats and buckets can be carved.
• Firewood turns up more often while foraging.
