Suggestion Mason skill ideas

[Favith]

The Mason profession is rather limited in its uses. Every town needs one Mason for the small handful of things we can make but once all the bridges, gates, lifts and doors are made you don't even need the one Mason anymore, much less multiple Masons.

I'm not asking to be made as useful as enchanters or farmers but the addition of a few select "fluff" abilities that Craftbook already offers might help add to the "building improvement specialist" feel that the Mason profession is geared toward.

Some ideas:

Redstone Pumpkins

Redstone Netherrack

Again, these are largely fluff skills for interior decoration purposes but I think individual residences and towns alike could get very creative with how they use these skills. It might make the Mason path a little more useful while still keeping the intended mason theme intact.

Just a few ideas--thanks for considering their merits!

I personally think mason and engineer should combine classes and become something like a carpenter. Idk what the class would be called, Engineer would be perfect, but I think the classes would merge well. They do both have a lot of skills, but the skills are very similar, and although mason's skills are very usable, they're more of an engineered design rather than masonry. If there were ever to be a mason class, I'd figure it'd be something like a class that can place certain blocks, not make doors, bridges, gates and elevators; that's all engineers work.
