Function

The Broker is a useful Template:L with no Template:Ls or Template:L. They have several duties in the running of an organised fortress.

If the broker has the Template:L skill, they will allow you to see the count of your fortresses Template:L in the Template:L screen (z). The exactness with which this can be seen is determined by the duties of the Template:L.

At the Template:L, you can specify that only the broker may Template:L with visiting Template:Ls. The advantage of this is that the broker gains skill in appraisal as he trades, which both allows the display of fortress wealth and helps with getting the best deals in your trading efforts.

There is a certain set of Template:L that are relevant for a Broker, there are also certain Template:L that influence if experience is gained in the skill whatsoever, furthermore there are Template:L that affect the Skills and other Skills that affect the same Attributes Template:L, the ones relevant for a Broker are as follow:

Social Skill (relevant for Broker) Personality Trait (needed to gain Social Skill) Attribute (affected by Social Skill)
Body Soul
Comedian Self-consciousness < 76 Agility Creativity
Kinesthetic Sense
Linguistic Ability
Conversationalist Gregariousness (Reserved) > 39 Linguistic Ability

The better match with the table Skills, Traits and Attributes the better Broker the Dwarf will be, try to avoid Traits that halt experience gain for a relevant Skill, otherwise time will be lost training a Dwarf that will never get better a that Skill.
