Introducing: skills!

I had a small suggestion for a "Caretaking" skill. This would include things like assistance to healers, den mothers, and just things like that. Basically, it would be where a wolf takes time to care for pups, care for emotional needs, assist healers, or something like that.

Like for caretaking: points for a thread watching pups, points for a thread where the wolf comforts someone, points for like self care for loners‏, or something similar. These wolves could gain some bonus when dealing with pups mentally unstable wolves.

It would pair well with a healing or leadership type of skill. (Leadership either being another skill, or pairing with intellect)

We aren't adding any more skills, sorry. Caretaking by itself would not be able to be a skill anyway. Aspects of it would go under healing, aspects of it would go under intellect, some would go under hunting - it's not measurable by itself. Likewise with leadership - it would mostly fall under Intellect. If they're assisting healers, they're earning points toward healing. If they're caring for the social needs of others that's intellect. If they're gathering food to feed pups they're using hunting. If they're dealing with the mentally unstable, it could go under either healing or intellect depending on how they're dealing with it. As for watching pups, teaching lessons unrelated to healing, hunting, fighting, and navigation automatically falls under intellect, so if they're talking to the pups about the way a pack works, or about the pack's history, or a family's history, or the seasons, that goes under intellect. Just watching pups or unspecific play doesn't actually take skill and that's what these are meant to measure. If you're uncertain what skillset a specific action would fall under feel free to ask a staff member, and if you have any questions about the above paragraph I would be happy to answer. - Tealah
