Ah, that's the skill I meant.Aimi wrote: ↑Sun Aug 08, 2021 4:47 pmWeirdly, Design is actually exclusively fashion rather than art. It's making, repairing and designing clothing, with a dose of selecting the right outfit to send the right message in the right situation.
Meanwhile Aesthetics is just over there being the entirety of non-literary art while Composition is all literary/spoken art.
Which I still have 0 in.

Re: OOC Chatter
Yeah, it's weird. I do expand Design to cover hair and makeup as well (Maybe even perfume if someone ever comes in with a perfume crafter) upgrading it from clothing to 'fashion' Through jewelry would still fall under smithing.Aimi wrote: ↑Sun Aug 08, 2021 4:47 pmWeirdly, Design is actually exclusively fashion rather than art.

Don't get me wrong, 4e had far too many skills and never really could handle situations where being good at one thing wouldn't mean being good at another. I mean, we all play games, and there's often situations where knowing one game means being able to pick up another quickly. But lumping them all into Games means your master go player is equally adept at Go as they are Fortunes and winds.
We experimented with specializations in tabletop play, but given that this is a new system for many, and skill condensing does make more people viable at events than would otherwise happen, I'm just rolling with it. After all, people like being good at events, and it's nice to have more people in events than less.

Re: OOC Chatter
5e does offer a series of potential "sub-skills" for every given skill, if you want to break them up into different things (go Games could be replaced by Go and Fortunes and Winds as separate skills etc) but I don't think I've ever actually seen anyone do that.Saibankan wrote: ↑Sun Aug 08, 2021 5:13 pmYeah, it's weird.

Re: OOC Chatter
That's what we were experimenting with. But since the games xp expenditure is tied to level advancement, we were doing something like "You get a subskill for every rank you have in the skill" ....and I don't remember what we were doing for the benefit of it being your subskill. Probably a reroll or an extra die.
Something to consider...but maybe after people get fully used to the system
