Háttr (builds) and sets
Each calling has its skill paths, and each path has its own set: wear two pieces for a bonus, three for +1 to every skill on that path, all four for another +1 and the path's own touch. Set pieces drop from enemies; shops don't sell them. On an element path you choose fire, frost or storm at each level of the tree, and the lower skills of an element strengthen its higher ones.
A háttr is a way of doing things: the old word for a warrior's manner, and for a skald's metre. One for each path to start from: the skills, its set, Rúnagaldr that suit it and the traits to raise.
