Elves often excel in Agriculture, Artistry, Bowyer craft, Fishing, Tracking, Seamanship, and Weaving. Wild elves are adept at Animal Lore, Animal Training, Survival in forests, Hunting, and Setting Snares. Gnomes are master inventors. They commonly have proficiency in the following: Blacksmithing, Carpentry, Cobbling, Engineering, Gem-Cutting, Leatherworking, Mining, and Stonemasonry.
