Sculptors Revistied


Borg

Recommended Posts

Now that Boulders exist and tools for stonework can be utilized........it is even closer to the day a Sculptor comes to be a new profession.

I am revisiting this 1999 Idea and re-tweeking using existing new wrinkles that have been made available to us.

Sculptor is the tradesman who has the combined abilities of Mining, Tinkering, Carpentry, Animal Lore, Anatomy, Item Identification and Inscription.

Mining=ability to work with rock

Tinkering=detailed ability with hands

Carpentry=understanding of structure and size relationships

Animal Lore=understanding of Animal/Beast form

Anatomy=understanding of Humanoid form

Inscription and Item Identification=ability to write name onto base of sculpture

Resources are Boulders

Tools are Chisel set

Utilizing a targeting cursor......sculptor could then have name of target transferred onto the sculpture. This creates the ability to have a STUDIO for the Roleplay activity. OR more daring sculptors could seek wild beasts or monsters and attempt to capture thier image in stone.....before they get eaten or pummeled heheh

Pop up screen would have options of various sculptures (many forms of these exist already in busts small, large, minatures etc) THESE would NOT BE COLORED like minature vet rewards......these would only be color of boulders they came from....some only smalls made but some perhaps could be made LARGE for use in a guild hall or great room.

Perhaps in time more forms or poses of statues could be designed...but for now....one could have thier own BUST or that of thier guild founders or leader(s) made or a statue of thier great hunt (NOT all Evil can be made into trophys.....this would allow such to occur)....

Cyclops Statue or Juka warrior for example

Imagine an evil roleplaying guild that worshipped a giant spider (perhaps the Champion Mephitis for example)......it would be large and take up say 8 tiles....Imagine them hiring this sculptor to get it....well he would need to get a visual of it first....and then the fun starts for everyone in making that happen.

Some namesakes could be coded as not possible to inscribe I guess to deal with naugty or illegal yada yada yada.

Oh very nice idea!

My craftsman would need to drop a few skills though, not sure how keen I'd be on that ???

Perhaps you could add to this by allowing those with inscription and animal lore or anatomy to make plans for a sculpture instead, thus fostering teamwork amongst stonecrafter/mason and those who know the animal/person.  Just a thought.
