Epic: Non-Combat Discipline Trees

Parent Legendary: #198 — Character Progression & Skills
Priority: Medium

Summary

This epic covers the non-combat discipline trees: Survival (fully fleshed out with three tiers), and stubs for Crafting, Social, and Magic disciplines. The Survival tree has a rich three-tier progression from basic skills to advanced specializations. The remaining disciplines get expandable root-and-branch structures that can be filled in by future epics.

Goals

Implement the full Survival discipline tree with Foraging, Tracking, Navigation at tier 1, Herbalism, Hunting, Map, Astronomy at tier 2, and Alchemy, Pathfinding at tier 3.
Create expandable stubs for Crafting, Social, and Magic disciplines with root nodes and placeholder branch structure.
Ensure all non-combat trees integrate with the SkillTree data model.

Scope

In Scope	Out of Scope
Survival full tree (3 tiers)	Combat discipline nodes
Crafting / Social / Magic stubs	Full Crafting / Social / Magic trees
YAML definitions	Gameplay mechanic integration
Prerequisite validation	XP balancing

Child Issues

Child issues will be linked via dependencies.

Acceptance Criteria

Survival tree has all three tiers of nodes with correct prerequisites.
Crafting, Social, Magic each have root nodes and at least one branch stub.
All nodes load from conf/skill_trees.yaml.
All child issues are completed and merged to master.
