Building walls with the LTC3 rules.

The plants they are making the palisade from are similar to bamboo, so they weren't planning to split them into planks or anything, just cut them to length and put them straight into the ground. I think treating them as 'raw wood' as (E) suggested would probably the best way to model that, which brings the cost down to around the same as thatch.

EDIT: reducing time for high skill seems appropriate as well. The general rules for haste are a 10% reduction for every -1 skill, which could give some pretty spectacular results for the skill 17 carpenter in the group (nearly tripling his work speed with a 90% reduction rolling against skill 8 if my math is right). A more reasonable approach might be to increase the amount of work done by 10% for every point by which the skill roll is made (which is consistent with 10% more income for every point by which a job roll is made) but given how slow the work will be otherwise I might use the more generous rules.
