Craft[edit]
A Craft skill is specifically focused on creating something. If nothing is created by the endeavor, it probably falls under the heading of a Profession skill. Every Craft skill works the same way, they only apply to a different field of construction.
Check: You can practice your trade and make a decent living, earning your rank as Wealth Level per week of dedicated work. You know how to use the tools of your trade, how to perform the craft's daily tasks, how to supervise untrained helpers, and how to handle common problems. (Untrained laborers and assistants earn 0 wealth level per week.)
The basic function of the Craft skill, however, is to allow you to make an item of the appropriate type. The DC depends on the complexity of the item to be created. When crafting an item, you must also buy materials from which you will create an item. The Craft DC and the basic item cost depend on the item to create (See individual Craft skill or the equipment section for information on crafting a specific item).
As a general guideline, see table below for check DC needs to craft items.
| Item | Craft DC |
|---|---|
| Very simple item (wooden spoon) | 5 |
| Typical item (iron pot) | 10 |
| High-quality item (bell) | 15 |
| Complex or superior item (lock) | 20 |
All crafts require artisan's tools to give the best chance of success. If improvised tools are used, the check is made with a -2 circumstance penalty. On the other hand, masterwork artisan's tools provide a +2 circumstance bonus on the check.
Repairing Items: The check DC to repair an item is 5 less than crafting the object and the purchase level of the Repair is also 5 less than the craft cost. With a repair action you can either restore 1d6 Core points or 1d10 hit points.
Action: The time need to craft an item is given in the equipment section. This can range from 1 hour to many days. Unless otherwise noted, repairing an object take 10 times less times than crafting it. An object that takes 1 hour to craft is repaired in 6 minutes.
Try Again: No, you need to start over if your Craft check fail.
Total Success: The item you craft is exceptional and have some enhancement to it. The GM may choose a specific feat benefits to apply to the item. When repairing an item, you restore an additional 1d6 Core points or another 1d10 hit points.
Total Failure: You hurt yourself while crafting an item taking 1 point of damage per rank of total failure. When repairing an item, you break the object which loses 1d4 Core points.
Each feat that enhanced an object increased it’s the base price by half a purchase level.
