Crafting Restrictions

There are some restrictions on what items can be crafted and how they can be crafted. These are:

  1. Artifacts cannot be crafted.
  2. Session-required items can only be crafted in a live session.
  3. Any buffs from items do not apply to crafting rolls.
  4. Outside of live sessions, only passive buffs from race/class/background features are allowed.
  5. In live sessions, only the following buffs are allowed (where applicable):
    • Help action from another player (they must also have an applicable tool proficiency)
  6. When crafting, you can halve either the DTP cost or the gold cost once. If a feature would allow you to halve both, you must choose only one.

Tool Proficiencies Needed

To craft an item, a character must have proficiency with the appropriate tool for the item type. The tool proficiency determines what kind of check is made to craft the item.

*P.S. In sessions, DMs have freedom to decide what stat is used*

Crafting Outcomes

On a successful check: The item is crafted and the character spends the gold and DTP required for the item.
On a failed check: The GP and DTP costs are spent and the item is not crafted, however the character can attempt another check for an additional 1/4th the original GP and DTP cost.

Each subsequent attempt to craft the item reduces the check’s DC by 5, to a minimum DC of 5.

How to use tools

To learn a tool proficiency, use the command: !tool pro <tool_name>

For expertise, use exp instead of pro.

Example: !tool exp alchemist


To make a check with the tool, use the command: !tool <tool_name> <stat>

Example: !tool alchemist wis
