!!SCIENCE!! of attributes and skills
« on: December 08, 2010, 05:31:40 pm »
I gathered data on what attributes are trained by various skills. I assume, without evidence, that the same skills use some of the attributes that they train (i.e. high agility improves chance of dodging). Game version 31.18.

Notes:

-Spatial Sense and Kinesthetic Sense are almost everywhere

-Nothing trains Disease Resistance, Recuperation, or Musicality

-Intimidation and Comedy, social skills, raise Agility. Dwarven comedy is slapstick/clowning, not stand-up.

-knowledge_acquisition (student) doesn't boost skill gain except for teacher-student relations in a barracks

-Choose high-volume labors that train useful attributes for milita day-jobs/bootcamp

-Fishing, Siege Operating, and Record Keeping are useful for marksdwarves as they train the Focus attribute
-Hunting (ambusher/sneak) has identical attribute gain to Crossbow and Archer skills

Warning HUGE lists:

Very nice lists, but it begs the question. Are attribute increases common across different skills? Does a job of mining increase as much as a job of woodcutting etc.

FYI Toady already told us what skills train which mental attributes.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

In the OP I listed the physical attributes as well.
