Appraise

New use of skill: Invent Business.

Familiarity with the value of different commodities in different markets and knowledge about the cost of manufacturing goods under different circumstances lets you evaluate to only the goods, themselves, but also judge wether it will be profitable to develop and/or manufacture trade goods in a certain location. In this way, you can invent new economic venues that increase the prosperity of a region if properly developed.

The DC generally 20, but is even higher in an area that is bland and produces the same kind of goods as neighboring areas. It is hard to develop one dirt farming village more than the next. But if a village has some special resource, such as a stream where you can build a mill or a bog where you can find peat. the difficulty is the standard 20.

A success has no short time effect, but allows you to help increase the general prosperity of the area. If you invest money in a development project of this kind, you can expect a 20% return after one year.
