Vynd said:I don't much care if my Pretender is a great researcher, but I do like for
he/she to be able to forge some decent items.

Good researchers and talented smiths have one thing in common: relatively low
level, but varied paths. I thought the difference was not important enough to
merit separate entries, in the same way I united immortality/recuperation and
flying/mobility.

It seems to me that "player skill" is necessary to design a good Pretender
in the first place.

Some people use 'out-of-the-box' builds. If you think that pretender design is
a player skill, I would have hoped that 'just as important as any other skill'
would have been your choice. It was mine :-)
