I think the talent will not adress what this discussion was about. Strength as the only attribute for Craft isn’t what I have in mind - Gem Cutting and Strength? Don’t think so. But it’s a question of personal taste

Is there a Talent linked to Crafting jewellery? I was thinking of a master crafter making rings, talismans, charms etc.

It doesn't feel appropriate to have it based on Strength, it would make more sense for it to be based off Wits. I know strength was chosen to even out the skill distribution but it just isn't logical, unless it's for black smithing things?

I will use a modular approach for this where the governing attribute will be decided by what kind of crafting you're attempting. STR for Blacksmithing or Construction, WIT for Design/Architecture or Alchemy, AGI for Sewing/Leatherworking or Bowmaking and CHA for Litterature or Art.

And so on. As long as the player can motivate the attribute, I'll allow it. Motivate it well.

Yes, that’s a good rule - perhaps it could make it into the official rules
CHA will not be used in my campaign. Literature and Art will be made with the Performance skill.

As a performer I must say that writing a piece of literature and performing it are two very different types of beasts, though. Performing a play would go under Performance, yes, but writing a script or a piece of fiction? Crafting + WIT... So I see your point about CHA not being used... Maybe Crafting + CHA for make-up, disguises and designing clothes, fashion, jewellery and objects of a beautifying nature? While the designing under Crafting + WIT would be of a more practical nature, like building houses, bridges, aqueducts and the like.
