Drudgery

Overview

Drudgery is an activity where your Rex interacts with Rexal society. It does not need to be a bustling city centre but there must be clear evidence of Rexal habitation - even a regional farm will have artificial creations such as fences, roads, troughs, tools, and/or plantations!


Your Rex must be interacting with someone or something. This could be an object like a broom or hammer, or an animal like a wolf or deer. Your Rexal can be interacting with another Rexal in an educational or caregiving role provided the other Rex is not being rolled for the drudgery as well. For convenience we will term these "tools".
