Crafting Guide

Introduction Core

Welcome to Black Banner Company's crafting system. This guide covers everything you need to gather materials, learn professions, and craft items during your downtime weeks.

Rank Chart

Whenever a recipe or item says "+X", substitute the X value from the row matching that material's rank above.

Training & Learning

To learn a new tool proficiency, hobby (musical instrument or gaming set), or language, follow these rules:

How to Craft

To craft any item in this guide, you need the appropriate tool, proficiency with that tool, any required equipment (Workshop, Lab, etc.), and the listed materials. Then roll:

Prime / Base Material System

Many exotic recipes use two types of materials:

You may use the same material as both Prime and Base, but a Nat 20 then yields no extra benefit. Diversify your materials for the best results.

Harvesting Creatures Gathering

Every corpse can be harvested. The skill check used depends on creature type:

Harvestable Parts

Exotic Metals Gathering

Use a miner's pick and make an Athletics check DC 15 + X to harvest an ore vein. Failure yields nothing. You can find ores up to the rank of the current quest/dungeon.

Any exotic metal can substitute for iron in a mundane craft — e.g., two E-Rank Plaguesteels can cover 30g of material cost in a Fullplate recipe.

Stones, Woods & Weaves Gathering

Collected with a DC 15 + X skill check. Woods require a greataxe. Stones, coral, and ice require a mining pick. Success yields 1 unit of material, though the DM may grant more. A Natural 20 grants an additional unit or reveals another nearby source.

Woods

Stones, Minerals & Exotic Materials

Weaves & Fibers

Plants & Herbs Gathering

Finding herbs requires a DC 15 Nature check. Harvesting them requires a DC 15 + X Nature or Survival check (DM's discretion).

Alchemist's Supplies Profession

Alchemists brew potions of untold power! Remember, a potion may be expensive, but you can use them as a bonus action if it’s on your person and you drink it yourself!

Requirements: Proficiency with Alchemist's Supplies, Alchemist's Supplies, Alchemy Lab.

Potions can be used as a bonus action if you're holding them and drink them yourself.

Common Potions (Workshop Optional)

Uncommon Potions (Workshop Optional)

Rare Potions (Workshop Required)

Rare+ Potions (Workshop + Lab)

Very Rare Potions (Workshop + Lab)

Legendary Potions (Workshop + Lab)

Brewer's Supplies Profession

Have you imagined splitting a potion in half? Well, Brewers might just be mad enough to give it a try! If you like taking fate into your own hands, and possibly see God in the process, this is the profession for you. 10lbs of produce can be bought for 2g.

Requirements: Proficiency with Brewer's Supplies, Brewer's Supplies, a keg. 10 lbs of produce = 2g.

Brewers can dilute potions with exotic alcohol to create two weaker doses from one potion. Great for stretching your supplies — but there's a risk of getting too drunk.

Failed Drunk Chart

Roll a straight d20. All effects happen immediately and last 1 minute unless noted. Some effects are removed by a long rest or magic. (Poison resistance grants advantage on this roll where the Drunk Check directs you here.)

Expert Perks: Brew Expert — advantage on Persuasion, History, Arcana, Religion, Deception, Insight, and Performance checks concerning drinks (DM's discretion), plus advantage on Insight to tell if a drink is bad or poisoned. Hardened Liver — advantage on Constitution saves to avoid getting drunk (unless you want to).

Hardened Liver

A lifetime of alcoholism has left you very functional. You get advantage on Constitution Saves to avoid getting drunk, unless you want to, of course.

Calligraphy Supplies Profession

Requirements: Proficiency with Calligraphy Supplies. Higher level scrolls require a Workshop/Library.

Scroll makers can use rare herbs or blood as ink — their market value is deducted from the scroll's crafting cost. You must be able to cast the spell yourself to scribe it. Scrolls are price-controlled and cannot be sold below market value.

You must be able to cast the spell yourself to scribe it. Multiple herbs/bloods may be used per craft, but each must individually meet the scroll's level requirement, and excess value over the scroll's cost is not refunded.

Herb & Blood Ink Values for Scroll Crafting

Master Scrivener: reduces all materials needed and craft times by 50%. (Scrolls remain price-controlled and cannot be sold below market value, even to other players.)

Carpenter's Tools Profession

Where there's wood, there's a way. That's what carpenters say! They are not your typical profession. While others are making equipment or goods for use and sale, carpenters are keeping the roofs over our heads and the walls around our cities. From sturdy fortifications to elegant furnishings, their craftsmanship forms the backbone of every settlement and Bastion.

Requirements: Proficiency with Carpenter's Tools, Carpenter's Tools, and the required wood or exotic wood materials.

General Furnishing Recipe by Rank

Use the furnishing's rank to determine the required materials, work hours, and DC. Furnishings may be crafted at a higher rank if the Bastion facility can support that rank.

Basic Facility Furnishings

Rank C Facility Furnishings

Rank B Facility Furnishings

Rank A Facility Furnishings

Rank S Facility Furnishings

Other Carpenter Crafts

Expert Perks: Emergency Repairman (reduce city damage repair cost by 20%), Handyman (5% rent reduction, stacks with other Handymen), Caravan/Ship Carpenter (50% off travel costs), Wood Expert (advantage on social checks concerning wood; sometimes on Nature checks to identify trees).

Cobbler's Tools Profession

The ancient discipline of footwear! Truly a noble calling if I ever heard one. There are stories of some cobblers becoming so skillful they can make boots that walk on lava or even over clouds!

Requirements: Proficiency with Cobbler's Tools, Cobbler's Tools.

Exotic recipes for Cobbler’s Tools use a Prime/Base Material system. The Prime Material, typically the main component like Adamantine in Door Bashers, defines the item. The Base Material, secondary and consumed in crafting, usually doesn’t transfer its properties to the final item, except when rolling a NAT 20 during crafting. This grants the item both Prime and Base Material properties.

Each recipe requires 1 unit of prime material + 1 unit of same-rank base material unless the recipe says otherwise.

Cooking Utensils Profession

Do you smell what the Dobbledobble is cooking? That! Is the aroma of decadence! A good cook is worth their weight in platinum, if you ask me! Interested? Let’s get cooking!

Requirements: Proficiency with Cooking Utensils, Chef Feat, Cook’s Utensils, a spice pouch, and a fire.

Rations & Prep Recipes

Treat Rarity

The rarity of a treat is equal to the rarity of the plant, herb, or ingredient used in the recipe.

Glassblower's Tools Profession

What isn’t there to love about glassblowing? Every building needs windows, and some of them are stained glass! Truly beautiful. But in case that hasn’t piqued your interest, some exotic weapons and even spell components can be made from rare sands and multicoloured crystals!

Requirements: Proficiency with Glassblower’s Tools. C-Rank and above recipes require a Workshop.

You can ask another glassblower to aid you in your crafting, which gives you advantage, but they must also spend the same amount of time from their workweek to do so.

Some exotic recipes for Glassblowers use a Prime/Base Material system. The Prime Material, typically the main component (like Eternal Ice in an Eternal Ice Longsword), defines the item. The Base Material, secondary and consumed in crafting, usually doesn’t transfer its properties to the final item, except when rolling a NAT 20 during crafting! This grants the item both Prime and Base Material properties! Wow! If multiple base materials are needed, they must all be the same material. You can find the special properties of Adamantine, Cold Iron, and Mithril down in Smith’s Tools.

Glass: Glassblowers craft decorative objects, weapons from exotic crystals, Planeshift Forks, and syringes. Weapons deal +X bonus damage of the prime material’s element.

Expert Perks: Glasswork Expert — advantage on Persuasion, History, Arcana, Religion, Deception, Insight, and Performance checks concerning glass (DM's discretion). Glassblown Weaponmaster — if you're proficient with a glassblower-made weapon (yours or another's), you deal +1 damage with it.

Jeweller's Tools Profession

Are you ready for the sparkling world of Jeweller’s Tools? Well, with just your proficiency and a trusty Workshop, you’re set to turn rough stones into dazzling jewels! Picture this: you’re carefully cutting a gemstone and—bam!—you strike an unexpected bonus, crafting an extra gem worth a nifty 25% of the original, just like that. But beware, a slip of the hand could mean equipment damage or, worse, turning a precious stone into worthless pebbles. From crafting magnifying glasses to intricate jewelry like rings, amulets, pins, and brooches, the possibilities are endless! Whether it’s persuading a noble with your gem knowledge or deciphering the history behind an ancient brooch, your Jeweller’s flair might just give you the edge. So grab your tools, and let’s start bedazzling!

Requirements: Proficiency with Jeweller’s Tools and a Workshop. Gems over 500g require a Workshop.

You can only wear 1 Minor and 1 Major Enhancement ring at a time.

Gemstones & Jewels Expert: advantage on Persuasion, History, Arcana, Religion, Deception, Insight, and Performance checks concerning jewels and gemstones (DM's discretion).

Leatherworker's Tools Profession

The art of dismembering a creature—I mean—quartering your prey is as ancient as spears! Maybe ancienter! Leatherworkers are your go-to if you’ve come upon a hide, a leather, or a random creature needing harvesting. They are effective at crafting armour, cloaks, and neck guards! And let me tell you, there are a lot of different kinds of creatures out there.

Requirements: Proficiency with Leatherworker’s Tools. C-Rank and above recipes require a Workshop.

Exotic recipes for Leatherworkers use a Prime/Base Material system. The Prime Material, typically the main component (like Chitin in Chitin Half-Plate, or Demon Leather in Demon Hide Armour), defines the item. The Base Material, secondary and consumed in crafting, usually doesn’t transfer its properties to the final item, except when rolling a NAT 20 during crafting! This grants the item both Prime and Base Material properties! Wow! If multiple base materials are needed, they must all be the same material.

Leatherworker’s Tools Base Materials: Abominable Skin, Chitin, Bone, Ellond Hide, Thick Hide, and Monster Scales.

Armour Properties by Material

Exotic Armours

(L) Light · (M) Medium · (H) Heavy. Each recipe also takes 1 unit of same-rank base material unless noted.

Resistance Armours

Miscellaneous

You cannot mix scales/bones of different dragons unless their elements match. A dragon's element equals its breath weapon's damage type.

Leather Expert: advantage on Persuasion, History, Arcana, Religion, Deception, Insight, and Performance checks concerning leather (DM's discretion).

Mason's Tools Profession

Well, now you’ve stumbled upon a treasure trove of knowledge that will turn you into the artisan extraordinaire of stone and all things robust! With your trusty mason’s tools, you can fashion stone furniture, from small trinkets to grand pieces, in a variety of styles to suit every taste.

But wait, there’s more! Ever dreamed of forging your own Ignum armor or weapons? Look no further, for you’ll learn to shape the powerful Ignum, that fiery essence from the Elemental Plane of Fire, into formidable gear. And don’t even get me started on the art of crafting Planeshift Forks! Oh, the planes will be your playground. But! Being a Stone Expert isn’t just about the craft; it’s about understanding the very soul of stone. Your journey into masonry promises not just craftsmanship but a legacy carved in stone and tales as enduring as the rocks themselves!

Requirements: Proficiency with Mason’s Tools. C-Rank and above recipes require a Workshop.

Some exotic recipes for Masons use a Prime/Base Material system. The Prime Material, typically the main component (like Ignum in Ignum Half-Plate), defines the item. The Base Material, secondary and consumed in crafting, usually doesn’t transfer its properties to the final item, except when rolling a NAT 20 during crafting! This grants the item both Prime and Base Material properties! Wow! If multiple base materials are needed, they must all be the same material.

Masons craft stone furniture, exotic stone/bone weapons and armour, and Planeshift Forks. Base materials for armour include Abominable Skin, Chitin, Thick Hide, and Monster Scales.

Painter's Supplies Profession

Welcome to the enchanting world of Painter’s Supplies, your portal to a realm where the stroke of your brush can weave magical wonders. With proficiency in these supplies, you embark on a journey of crafting paintings and diagrams that elevate your skills and aid your adventures. Whether it’s an ‘Incredible Animal Picture’ or a ‘Robust Professional Blueprint,’ each creation bestows advantage and +X to a relevant skill, offering a unique advantage when the need arises. Dive into the artistic tapestry, where every brushstroke holds the potential to enhance your abilities and shape the destiny of your quests. May your imagination flourish on the canvas of possibilities!

Requirements: Proficiency with Painter’s Supplies. C-Rank and above recipes require a Workshop.

Painters create skill-boosting Field Artworks (temporary, consumable) and Home Decorations (permanent). Each painting grants advantage and +X to the related skill when used as described below.

Every painting costs X units of any-rank herb/plant + X gallons of same-rarity blood, takes 5 hrs × X, and is DC 12 + X. The blood source determines the skill it boosts.

The Artist: advantage on Persuasion, History, Arcana, Religion, Deception, Insight, and Performance checks concerning art (DM's discretion).

Potter's Tools Profession

From shaping vessels that burst magical spells to concocting clever pots with hidden compartments, your creations will be more than mere clay—they’ll be artefacts of wonder and utility! So roll up your sleeves, prepare your materials, and let’s shape some magic with these Potter’s Tools! If you wish to attack the ground with a pot, it has an AC of 10 (adjustable by the DM based on circumstances).

Specialty Crafts

Bombs

Smith's Tools Profession

Imagine turning a mundane breastplate into the core material for a magnificent half-plate! Exotic recipes use the Prime/Base Material system, where smiths can blend materials like adamantine, mithril, bloodmetal, or sunsteel into legendary armours and weapons. Smiths do not craft bows or crossbows.

Smith's Tools Armour Base Materials: Abominable Skin, Chitin, Ellond Hide, Thick Hide, Monster Scales, and Bones.

Smith's Tools Weapon Base Materials: Adamantine, Cold Iron, and Mithril.

Requirements: Proficiency with Smith's Tools, Smith's Tools, C-Rank and above require a Workshop.

Crafts

Recycler

When using equipment found in adventures, you can convert 75% of its market value rounded up into raw iron for crafting. For example, Scale Mail valued at 50 gp yields 38 gp in iron, while a Breastplate worth 400 gp provides 300 gp of iron. To craft Half-Plate costing 750 gp, you need 375 gp in raw iron. Combining the Scale Mail and Breastplate gives you 338 gp in iron, which can be applied toward the Half-Plate's cost, with the remainder paid in gold. This does not require a check or craft time. Pure Iron Ore can be applied to a craft at its full value.

Metallurgic Expert

Concerning matters of iron and steel, a smith often gains advantage on Persuasion, History, Arcana, Religion, Deception, Insight, and Performance checks at the discretion of the DM.

Exotic Smithing

All plate armours have the same function as their non-plate counterparts. Exotic weapon crafts are melee only.

Unattuned Planeshift Fork Destinations

This tuning fork is inert but can be attuned to a specific plane, enabling the use of Planeshift. Attuning requires three successful DC 25 Arcana checks, made every 4 hours while on the intended plane. Failure three times results in the fork's destruction, as does 24 hours after commencement or removing it from the plane before completion.

Weaver's Tools Profession

Greetings, aspiring weavers and fabric enthusiasts! I’m thrilled to introduce you to the intricate and magical world of Weaver’s Tools. Imagine a loom where not just threads but dreams are woven, creating fabrics that blend the mundane with the mystical! Whether you’re crafting a simple leafweave robe to blend seamlessly into forest backdrops, or a radiant heavenweave gown shimmering with resistance to the celestial, your creations will be as practical as they are enchanting. So, ready your threads and set your loom, for the world of weaving awaits your skilled hands and imaginative heart!

Requirements: Proficiency with Weaver's Tools, Weaver's Tools, Workshop.

Crafts

Leafweave

Clothing

Leafweave clothing is effective at blending in with the environment and can be anything from a simple shirt to flowing wizard’s robes. If you are wearing armour or robes over your clothing, the clothing’s special properties do not take effect. While wearing leafweave clothing, you have advantage on Stealth checks while in trees, forests, jungles, or any other woodland at the DM’s discretion.

Armour

Options: Padded Leather Armour (L), Leather Armour (L), Studded Leather Armour (L), and Hide Armour (M).

Leafweave armour excels in woodland camouflage. Its benefits do not apply over exotic clothing. It grants advantage on Stealth checks in forests, jungles, and similar terrain at the DM’s discretion. It also offers protection against sharp objects like thorns, giving a +1 bonus on saving throws against piercing damage.

Once per long rest, you can use your reaction to reduce piercing damage from a single source by Xd4, depending on the armour’s rank. For instance, B-Rank Leafweave Hide Armour can reduce piercing damage by 3d4.

Exquisite Wall Rugs

Exquisite Wall Rugs are elaborate masterpieces of weaving. NPCs outside of the city are especially fond of trading for Exquisite Rugs, offering +X to your Persuasion skill when bartering with one. Exquisite Wall Rugs weigh 20 lbs. The ultimate value of an Exquisite Wall Rug is at the DM’s discretion.

Heavenweave

Clothing

Clothing made with Heavenweave grants radiant resistance and can be anything from a simple shirt to flowing wizard’s robes. It has no effect if worn under armour or robes.

Armour

Options: Padded Leather Armour (L), Leather Armour (L), Studded Leather Armour (L), and Hide Armour (M). Armour made with Heavenweave grants radiant resistance.

Hand & Shin Wraps

Crafting this gives you a complete set for your hands and shins. When wrapped in Heavenweave, your unarmed strikes deal + half of X, rounded up, extra radiant damage.

Shadowsilk

Clothing

Clothing made with Shadowsilk grants psychic resistance and can be anything from a simple shirt to flowing wizard’s robes. It has no effect if worn under armour or robes.

Armour

Options: Padded Leather Armour (L), Leather Armour (L), Studded Leather Armour (L), and Hide Armour (M). Armour made with Shadowsilk grants psychic resistance.

Hand & Shin Wraps

Crafting this gives you a complete set for your hands and shins. When wrapped in Shadowsilk, your unarmed strikes deal + half of X, rounded up, extra psychic damage.

Spidersilk

Spidersilk can only be harvested from spiders or other creatures that produce a web-like substance.

Clothing

Spidersilk clothing is especially fine, feeling almost as though you are wearing nothing, and yet when you touch it, you can feel every ripple like a pebble striking a pond. This clothing can be worn under your armour or robes. Whenever someone attempts to pickpocket you or take something from your person, you gain +X to your passive and active Perception to notice it.

Armour

Options: Padded Leather Armour (L), Leather Armour (L), Studded Leather Armour (L), Hide Armour (M), and Chain Shirt (M).

Spidersilk is light, strong, and comfortable. All Spidersilk armours weigh half as much as normal.

Light Spidersilk armour reduces the damage you take from falling by X, and if it is B-Rank or higher it increases your AC by 1.

While wearing B-Rank or higher medium Spidersilk armour, you can apply your Dexterity modifier to a maximum of +X instead of the normal maximum of +2 to your Armour Class. If you have the Medium Armour Master feat, increase the value of X by 1 when wearing medium Spidersilk armour. For example, if you are wearing S-Rank Spidersilk Chain Shirt with a Dexterity score of 22, your AC is 17: 12 from Chain Shirt and +5 from Spidersilk’s quality. With Medium Armour Master, you can add +6 instead, making your AC 18.

Once per long rest, while wearing robes, light armour, or medium Spidersilk armour, you can use your reaction to reduce poison damage from a single source by Xd4, depending on the armour’s rank. For example, B-Rank Spidersilk Studded Leather Armour can reduce one instance of poison damage by 3d4.

Woodcarver's Tools Profession

With these tools in hand and a Workshop at your disposal, the forest’s bounty becomes your canvas. Whether you’re carving delicate arrowheads from darkwood or shaping armours from any material imaginable — yes, literally anything — your creations will embody both artistry and function. Imagine crafting arrows that transform their damage type to match their prime material, like bone arrows turning all damage into bludgeoning — perfect for those pesky skeletons! Or fashioning Darkwood armours that are as light as a feather yet tough as nails. And don’t forget the flight arrows that extend your weapon’s range, or signal arrows that whistle their way through the air, alerting allies from afar. So, ready your tools and let your creativity flow like the sap in the trees, for the world of woodcarving is full of endless possibilities and wonders waiting to be discovered by your skilled hands!

Requirements: Proficiency with Woodcarver’s Tools and a Workshop. C-Rank and above recipes require a Workshop.

Base Materials for Woodcarver Arrows/Bolts/Weapons: Darkwood, Deadwood, Summitwood.

Base Materials for Woodcarver Armours: Varies. See armour notes below.

Exotic Arrows

Exotic woods, metals, stones, corals, and bones are all suitable as prime materials for arrow and bolt crafting. Specify the intended weapon — bows, crossbows, or hand crossbows — when making these projectiles. Arrows fit all bows, crossbow bolts work in both light and heavy crossbows, while hand crossbow bolts are exclusive to themselves.

Each arrow or bolt inherits the special properties of its material. Uniquely, these projectiles convert all their damage to the type associated with their prime material. For instance, red dragonbone arrows not only add extra +X fire damage, but also transform their inherent piercing damage to fire. Mithril arrowheads ignore disadvantage from long range. Shot arrows and bolts cannot be recovered.

Flight Arrows

Flight arrows are essential for targets beyond the reach of regular arrows, increasing both the normal and long range of any weapon they are shot from by 25% per X value, rounded up. For instance, a D-Rank flight arrow from a longbow extends the range from 150/600 to 300/750, while a B-Rank flight bolt for a hand crossbow boosts it from 30/120 to 60/210. Due to their design for distance, flight arrows are lost or destroyed upon impact and are non-recoverable.

Signal Arrows

A whistle attached to the front allows a signal arrow to be heard up to 500 feet away with passive Perception 10. For every 100 feet further from the signal arrow, increase the passive Perception DC by 1.

Carves & Ranged Weapons

Exotic Ranged Weapons

Exotic Wood Armour

Woodmaster: Concerning matters of wood, a woodcarver often gains advantage on Persuasion, History, Arcana, Religion, Deception, Insight, and Performance checks at the discretion of the DM.

Woodcarver Weaponmaster: If you use a ranged weapon crafted by a woodcarver, whether by yourself or another, and you are proficient with it, you deal an additional +1 damage with attacks made using that weapon.

Herbalism Kit Profession

Herbalists are the backbone of any party! The healers that don’t need to be there to heal!

Gather herbs, stock your supplies well, and keep your allies alive. A prepared herbalist can save lives long before a healer ever arrives.

Requirements: Proficiency with Herbalism Kit. Rare and Very Rare potions require a properly equipped Workshop.

Herbalism works a little differently than Alchemy. Unlike other plants, herbs have fixed crafting requirements and are used directly to create potions and remedies.

To craft a potion, you must possess the required herbal materials listed for that recipe. No additional gold cost is required—if you have the materials, you can craft the item.

Common and Uncommon potions may be crafted anywhere you are able to work on your craft. However, Rare and Very Rare potions require access to a properly equipped Workshop in addition to the required materials.

Herbalist: advantage on Persuasion, History, Arcana, Religion, Deception, Insight, and Performance checks concerning plants (DM's discretion).

Forgery Kit Profession

With proficiency in this kit and access to a library, you too can weave deception and creativity into tangible forms! Whether it’s altering orders to salvage a failed mission, exaggerating dangers for greater rewards, or creating fool’s gold to deceive and trade, each forgery comes with its own thrilling challenge. Imagine crafting documents that absolve offenses, swap resources, or even add progress points on guild adventures! And let’s not forget the realm of custom forgeries—from fake IDs to misleading maps, the only limit is your imagination. Caution, though; the stakes are high, and the penalties for failure can be severe. Dive into this profession where your skills can shape reality, dictated by your wits and the roll of the dice. Ready your quills and inks, for the art of forgery awaits!

Requirements: Proficiency with Forgery Kit. C-Rank and above recipes require a Workshop or Library as appropriate.

Note: You can choose to use Altered Orders, Capital Gains, or False Progress in the same adventure, not all three of them! Class features such as Reliable Talent or Silvery Tongue cannot be used with products of the Forgery Kit.

Master Forger: advantage on Persuasion, History, Arcana, Religion, Deception, Insight, and Performance checks concerning deception (DM's discretion).

Disguise Kit Profession

Ah, my dear aspiring masters of masquerade and mischief! Let’s take a look at the wondrous world of the Disguise Kit, a haven for those who delight in deception and creative guile. With just your proficiency and this nifty set, the art of illusion is at your fingertips. Imagine the possibilities: feigning your demise, or convincing foes you’re plagued by the most dreadful of diseases—all in the spirit of good fun and strategy, of course! And let’s not forget the art of False Casting, where your performance can make even the most skeptical believe in your magical façade. So, grab your kit, and let’s dive into a world where appearances are everything, and a well-played disguise can turn the tides of any encounter!

Requirements: Proficiency with Disguise Kit.

All Emergency Reactions are the same resource — using one prevents using others until a short or long rest.

Master of Disguise: advantage on Persuasion, History, Arcana, Religion, Deception, Insight, and Performance checks concerning appearance (DM's discretion).

Poisoner's Kit Profession

Hail assassins, rogues, vagabonds, and miscreants! May I never see you again! But in the meantime, this is where you come to learn the ways of dying. Some are quick, others slow and painful. Just like alchemy, poisons are crafted by bringing together the stated ingredients at an Alchemist Workshop or, if you possess the Poisoner Feat, you can make it in the field! Poisoner Feat also reduces the crafting time of all poisons made by 50% (rounded up) while using an Alchemist Workshop (time does not reduce if doing it in the field).

Requirements: Proficiency with Poisoner’s Kit. C-Rank and above poisons require an Alchemist Workshop unless the crafter has the Poisoner Feat.

Special Crafts

Master Poisoner: advantage on Persuasion, History, Arcana, Religion, Deception, Insight, and Performance checks concerning poison (DM's discretion).

Interdisciplinary Crafts Advanced

Crafts in this section require you to be potentially aided by another crafter with the necessary tool proficiencies, or for you to have them all! If you do not need aid, you double the workhours. If working in pairs, one crafter will roll while the other aids, also granting advantage.

At least two crafters are likely needed for interdisciplinary crafts: Smiths for metals, Masons for stones, bones, and ices, Leatherworkers for leathers, bones, and venom glands, Poisoners for venom glands, Weavers for weaves and silks, and Woodcarvers for woods and ice.

Exotic Elemental Shields: These advanced crafts combine multiple disciplines and use exotic elemental materials to shape defensive gear.

Only non-physical elements qualify (e.g., Eternal Ice, Dragon Bones/Scales). The reduction applies after saving throws and resistances.

Item Repair Advanced

Non-magical weapons, armour, shields, and tools can be damaged in play. A character proficient with the appropriate crafting tool can repair them.

Items that are completely destroyed cannot be repaired and must be crafted anew.

Spell Material Crafting Advanced

Do you have a spell that requires a strange material in order to cast? Well, look no further! Here, you can find out how to best approach the crafting of these materials so that you don’t need to buy them full price from a merchant! Those greedy merchants… Anyway!

If the spell material has a listed price, pay 50% of that price in raw materials and use the DC and craft time below to make it. Likewise, your crafting profession must arguably be a logical choice for the creation of the spell material. For example, Chromatic Orb requires a diamond worth at least 50g. A jeweller is the most logical profession to cut the necessary gem.

Failing the DC results in 1/3 of the materials being wasted (rounded down, minimum 1). Rolling a Nat 1 wastes all materials, and rolling a Nat 20 refunds half of your material cost in gold!

Spell Trading Advanced

Wizards can copy spells from each other's spellbooks or from scrolls without destroying the original. Cost: 2 hours + 50g per spell level.

Crafting Modifier Rulings Advanced

Once again, if you have the tools or kit and the relevant proficiency with it, roll a 1d20 + your proficiency modifier in order to craft anything in this book, unless otherwise noted. This is the standard formula for the Profession Check. Below are rulings for quick reference.

The standard crafting roll is 1d20 + Proficiency Modifier only. Ability score modifiers such as STR, DEX, or INT are not added unless a specific feature in this guide says otherwise.
