To be Cunning is to be crafty and innovative - to come up with inventive solutions and slip from adversity.

• In thought and word, it means creativity and shrewdness.
• In act and deed, it is the calculated strategy, even when other strengths are against you.
• In craft, it is focused on the ingenious details or tricks.
• In combat, to be cunning is to hope in outsmarting the enemy.

To be Cunning is more directly inventive than the Careful, more directly tricky than the Courtly, more directly adroit than the Spry and more directly brilliant than the Subtle.

Cunning is most worthy of the reputations, because with the right idea you can make up for any other deficit.
