Taxidermy

Taxidermy(Technical) by Taalismn

The skill of being able to preserve(the outsides primarily) and prepare animal bodies for display. Practitioners learn how to mount animal skins on inner forms(including posing the creature in dramatic or naturalistic fashion), preserve and touch up the hides(including the use of cosmetics to cover up damage and decay), and use inserts and prosthetics to simulate muscle, eyes, and other soft/fragile organs and tissues. While some attention is given to skeletal anatomy, and the taxidermist CAN wire upa creature’s skeleton, the primary focus is on preserving the exterior, not the interior. Skin and Preserve Animal Hides gives a +5% to this skill. Base Skill: 45 % + 5% per level of experience
