Obenseuer/Skills

In Obenseuer, player undertakes in various crafts they can gain skill at, each skill is represented by its union.

Skills affect quality, time and fail chances of processed and farmed products, only the lockpicking and bribery skills affect the difficulty level of performed craft. Skill is gained when said craft is performed, if the process is failed, gain to skill will be lower, but not non-existent. Some skills might be harder to gain due to frequency of needing to perform them, like Chemistry or Paperwork. For crafting skills, the level is gained once process is finished, for farming skill, it is gained with each planted produce, not once it fully grows.

Player starts on level 1 on each skill and is able to gain skills up to the level 10, upon reaching it, Union representing that skill will send a package of decorative flags via mail. Player can concurrently gain multiple skills and receive union gifts from multiple of them.
