Creativity Skills

 

Although creativity skills may involve the use of dexterity or memorization of formulas/patterns in some way to achieve their ends, they are skills that require imagination, intuition and tapping into the sub-conscious and collective unconsciousness on some level as well.

Architecture - This feels to me like a Logic skill. Though there certainly is an artistic element to design, the engineering aspect of the skill seems more in line with your other Logic skills than with Creativity.

Binding - I could see this as a Creativity skill, but I think it might fit better as a Dexterity skill. Its primary function in a game (tying up an enemy) will be probably involve a test of the user's execution, rather than which knots to use or how to adapt it to the environment.

Chandlery - I thought candlemaking was somewhat more formulaic and recipe-driven, rather than inventive. While I suppose it could be both, I would stick this under Logic, (even it's considered more of an art than a science).

Forgery - I can see forgery as a Creativity skill, but since it's all about precise duplication rather than artistic invention... well I would stick this with Logic or Dexterity

Glassblowing - I can certainly see some justification for glassblowing to be a Creativity skill. But I can also see reason to classify it as a Dexterity, Logic, or even Fitness skill. It can be a taxing acitivty, requiring speed and precision. It also requires significant knowledge of formulas and was used back in the day for custom laboratory creations.

Hosting - This sure seem like an Influence skill to me. Despite the detail management aspect of the activity, it all boils down to making sure that people have a good time.

Languages - I could see languages being Logic skills. Knowledge of sentence construction, verb conjugation, vocabulary memorization - all seem like aspects better governed by the Logic stat.

Metalcrafts - While I suppose that artistic crafts fit well with Creativity, functional crafts are currently aligned with the Logic stat. So which is this?

Mystic Creatures - Though magic seems to be closely married to the Creativity stat, this seems like a knowledge skill which might fit better with Logic. If it's not a knowledge skill, and instead is the ability to intuitively recognize creatures when encountering them... well than Creativity might work just fine.

Mystic Places - The same comments which applied to mystic creatures also apply here. If this is a knowledge skill, Logic seems more applicable.

Packing - I can see a Logic apsect to this skill, though I also see Creativity being appropriate. A sailor packing his ship, making certain everything goes whereit is supposed to go - that seems like Logic. But Aunt Bertha, packing a suitcase with as many pairs of socks as can fit in shoes or around alarm clocks - Creativity. Of course, how often is this skill really going to matter in a game or to a player concept?

I've been thru the skill lists now and applied many of Dave's ideas into the choices and details. - Thanks again for the feedback.
