Jeweler

Scribe

I'd like to suggest Scribe as well - when special orders come in - detailed notes and order writing must be done.

Ok I went and read Scribe very closely and its not just writing its mastery of writing and I dont see where anything other than being able to write plainly is needed. I am considering afew other skills and once I have asked some questions if they are right they will be added. I dont think a skill needs to be added just because they might somehow fit in. If Iam wrong then I am sorry. But the way I read scribe its just not something that the GS would pay for.

I have added jeweler to the GS But I dont think Scribe fits the job.

Given that the GS is the only place that sells animals (aside from the SS which are familiars only) I'd like to suggest making Animal Handling/Training skills ones that would work for the GS. Someone certainly has to take care to feed and handle them, as well as clean up their messes.

The GS doe not train animals and handling is not a ranked skill that I m aware of.

Ok was thinking about relevant skills. Scribe again comes up. Namely as people do engravings. And mastery of writing is needed for that. To keep the letters uniform and flowing especially on smaller items to be engraved like rings and what not. It would require alot of skill.

Again I dont think scribe is needed at the GS for the main reason that the meaning of the word scribe has little to do with flowing writing at all... Scribe - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scribe
A scribe is a person who writes books or documents by hand in hieratics, cuneiform or other scripts and may help keep track of records for priests and government.
Or... historical
a person who copies out documents, especially one employed to do this before printing was invented.


That is not needed to engrave jewelry. If anything would fit that kind of work it would be Calligraphy.

Thats the noun. As a skill its an adjective. Like its Cartography not Cartographer as the skill. The skill is writing regardless of the medium. Engraving is a form of writing.

Adding scribe to the GS ranked skills.

Throwing out a few skills for consideration, including their description (with sources) and reasonings.

Skill: Animal Handling (unranked)
Description: Animal handling describes how people respond to and interact with animals within the animal's environment. Proper handling techniques can reduce animal pain and distress and improve animal welfare. Animal handling methods require training, skill, and behavioral knowledge of the species you are working with.

Reason: Despite not doing much more than cleaning cages, accepting delivery of the animals, and shuffling them around, this still counts to help, as described above, lessen the stress on the animals themselves and ensure their overall health and wellbeing.

Skill: Administration
Description: The job role of an administrator involves the following duties: Preparing, organising and storing information in paper and digital form. Dealing with queries on the phone and by email. Greeting visitors at reception. Managing diaries, scheduling meetings and booking rooms.

Reasoning: Obviously a lot of this doesn't apply, and a good chunk of this is 'behind the scenes' kind of work, but it would be useful for making sure work logs and ledgers, as well as employee lists would be organized. Stock, orders, etc. Some of this is definitely covered with Tending/Etiquette to a point as well.


Administration isn't such a big deal, but Animal Handling would be a great skill for the amount of animals that pass through the shop.

Unranked skills do not get paid so if someone wishes to have said skill they can. But again its unranked so no extra pay is givin for it.
