Trappin'

Trait used: Knowledge

Concentrations: swamp, mountains, plains, etc

Description: Trappin' is the art o' capturin' critters. This is a good way to get food for the supper table, and the pelts can usually fetch a dollar or two at the local tradin' post.

All else bein' equal, a gal shouldn't have too much trouble capturing different types o' critters in the same region. If she's familiar enough with the woods to capture a possum, she's probably familiar enough with most every other critter in the same stretch o' woodland.

Tryin' to trap critters in different parts o' the world incurs a penalty dependin' on how different it is from her concentration, based on the followin' table:

Radically different terrain
    (Swamp vs. Tundra, f'r instance)
Moderately different terrain
    (Piney woods vs. Rocky Mountains)
Somewhat different terrain
    (Badlands vs. Desert)
Mostly similar terrain
    (Ozark Mountains vs. Smoky Mountains)
