Animal Husbandry as an Ability

Post by boreial »

I know we have a skill for Animal Husbandry already, however just as we have a skill for Farming and an Ability for Farming, I would like to see an "Ability" added for "Animal Husbandry" said Ability could affect breeding and animal health/growth rate. I suppose the animal would have to be branded by the character with the animal husbandry Ability for any effect to be applied to an animal. I am thinking the higher the Ability points the faster the gestation period and the more consistent the breeding growth. perhaps 3% gestation reduction per 15 points of skill. Perhaps the same 3% for breeding stability as well.

How do you think it would work before branding?

It could be hardcapping what you can get from domesticated animals as in, milking, hides, bones, meat etc. But I don't think other use of it would work nicely.

I would rather see all stats and skills being made more useful than adding another new one.

Idk, not sure we need more abilities.
