40d:Social skill

From Dwarf Fortress Wiki

Jump to navigation Jump to search
This article is about an older version of DF.

Social skills are used mainly by the Expedition leader, Manager and Broker. They are used in interactions between the dwarves in your fortress as well as when talking with liaisons and merchants. Social skills are acquired at embarking, while performing the above administrative tasks or while attending parties.

The following list is based on the skills listed in the nobles screen when replacing a noble.

List of Social Skills[edit]

Social skills are trained during conversations, whether between idle dwarves, between unhappy dwarves and your mayor, when trading (including when screwing up and angering the Elves), or during diplomatic negotiations.

Creatures will use whichever skills are available to them (based on their personality facets), and if no skills are available (see below), they will use Negotiation regardless.

Dwarves train their social skills when idling in meeting areas or attending parties and they are standing near another dwarf. All social skills seem to train at roughly the same rate, though their personality traits will determine which skills they train - for example, a very self-conscious dwarf will not gain Comedian skill.
