    What skills would the complex use of rope fall under? I’m thinking of building a rope bridge, or lashing some sticks together for a signal tower. Off hand, I see it as a combination of wilderness lore, knowledge engineering, seamanship and perhaps battle, depending on the application. I ask because looking a the Boy Scout website it looks like a useful skill to have for an adventurer. I just don’t see that it easily fits into the arcanis skill set.

    Thoughts???

    As a tool, apply the skill closest to the end purpose.

    Rope bridges and lashing towers together probably falls under Knowledge: Engineering. Fancy knot tying could be either wilderness lore or seamanship. Using lines to adjust sails is obviously seamanship. Lashing a raft together is probable seamanship and/or knowledge engineering. Rope traps could be wilderness lore for a simple rabbit snare or knowledge engineering for a Rube Goldberg machine.

    Ok. That covers it. Thanks guys. I wanted to make certain that Acturis had the skills that I thought I had given him.

    Rope bridges, palisades, towers, tents, etc – battle (for centurions, etc.) or knowledge engineering
    Ships, rafts – seamanship or knowledge engineering
    Camping, tents, traps, snares – wilderness lore or larceny
    Other – knowledge religion (larissa) \":)\"

    Ok so with battle, engineering, and wilderness lore I should be able to do anything I’m thinking of. As for the “Other” options, well, those are best left to the Sensates. \":D\"
