I know that craftsmen skills in this game are individualized and creative, applying to player concepts, ones back story or homeland setting, approved of or disproved of on a case by case bases from chapter to chapter by plot.
Disclaimer set a side; I thought it would be fun to compile a list of craftsman options, this doesn't disallow any unlisted, in fact hell I know I missed a lot, I simply thought listing a lot of them, with other people adding more to the list, would be both fun but beneficial to new players who perhaps need to see whats out there so they might cum up with some of there own.
A big list of craftsmen skills.... or as many as i could think of....
