Talk:Architectural Engineer

I'm not so sure that all of the skills you have listed thus far would really be needed. Architecture is certainly a given--and I can understand Administration or the prerequisites for those skills--but I don't see the need for Forgery, Speed Reading, or any of the mystic skills. Is there a particular slant you are going for with this codicil?

Incidentally, we haven't yet done total hours to learn a codicil. As baby classes, I have always written them up with weeks or months to learn. This isn't a complaint at all, just something I thought was different and neat.

Is there a reason why we have jumped to Talk Pages? (Instead of using the forum.)

I don't remember the logic behind the skill choices it was a long time ago when I first started the codicil. We can easily re-write it now, I am not strongly attached to anything in the codicil.

The reasoning behind the attribute requirements is this: I figured that a high Personality would be needed to talk people into hiring you to design their buildings. It's a great deal of money, so you'd have to be really good at convincing people to trust you.

Then I remembered all of the architects I know personally.

So, I set fair to middling attribute levels for Personality, Wits (you need to be creative within a very confined system), and Agility (artistry and a steady hand are essential). None of these are very high, but collectively they serve to increase the wages that someone with this codicil can command. Wages are based in part on qualifying demographics, and artificially increasing the rarity also increases their pay. You're welcome.
