Tools of the Realms

THE VAST WORLD OF DUNGEONS AND dragons is filled with talented individuals. This house rule booklet brings over systems that better utilize the artisan's tools located in the PHB. WotC brought minor tweaks with XGtE, but that merely turned them from useless items to barely mundane. This brings unique systems for each tool with the exception of Herbalism & Alchemist as I utilize Dalagrath's system.

Alchemist's Supplies XGtE Pg. 79

Components. Alchemist's supplies include two glass beakers, a metal frame to hold a beaker in place over an open flame, a glass stirring rod, a small mortar and pestle, and a pouch of common alchemical ingredients, including salt, powdered iron, and purified water.

Arcana. Proficiency with alchemist's supplies allows you to unlock more information on Arcana checks involving potions and similar materials.

Investigation. When you inspect an area for clues, proficiency with alchemist's supplies grants additional insight into any chemicals or other substances that might have been used in the area.

Alchemical Crafting. You can use this tool proficiency to create alchemical items. A character can spend money to collect raw materials, which weight 1 pound for every 50 gp spent. The DM can allow a character to make a check using the indicated skill with advantage. As part of a long rest, you can use alchemist's supplies to make one dose of acid, alchemist's fire, antitoxin, oil, perfume, or soap. Subtract half the value of the created item from the total gp worth of raw materials you are carrying.

Alchemical Creations (Extended)

Just like Herbalism, there is currently no set Alchemy skill in 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons. Towards that purpose, a character would use their Intelligence or Wisdom modifier, whichever is highest, and then add their proficiency bonus if they are proficient with alchemist’s supplies.

Calligrapher's Supplies XGtE Pg. 79

Components. Calligrapher's supplies include ink, a dozen sheets of parchment, and three quills.

Arcana. Although calligraphy is of little help in deciphering the content of magical writings, proficiency with these supplies can aid in identifying who wrote a script of a magical nature.

History. This tool proficiency can augment the benefit of successful checks made to analyze or investigate ancient writings, scrolls, or other texts, including runes etched in stone or messages in frescoes or other displays.

Decipher Treasure Map. This tool proficiency grants you expertise in examining maps. You can make an Intelligence check to determine a map's age, whether a map includes any hidden messages, or similar facts.

Calligraphy (Extended)

Calligrapher's are key components for many pieces of everyday life. Most calligrapher's work as freelancers roaming the land in search of people that need their skills. It takes many hours and revisions to get exactly what the patron asks for so a calligrapher must be patient. Below is a list of activities/jobs a calligrapher can take, the difficulty, and an estimate for how much one would pay for it which is subjective and up to the DM for final pay.

Intelligence is the attribute modifier for Calligrapher's Supplies.

Carpenter's Tools XGtE Pg. 80

Components. Carpenter's Tools include a saw, a hammer, nails, a hatchet, a square, a ruler, an adze, a plane, and a chisel.

History. This tool proficiency aids you in identifying the use and the origin of wooden buildings and other large wooden objects.

Investigation. You gain additional insight when inspecting areas with wooden structures, because you know tricks of construction that can conceal areas from discovery.

Perception. You can spot irregularities in wooden walls or floors, making it easier to find trap doors and secret passages.

Stealth. You can quickly assess the weak spots in a wooden floor, making it easier to avoid the places that creak and groan when they're stepped on.

Fortify. With 1 minute of work and raw materials, you can make a door or window harder to force open. Increase the DC needed to open it by 5.

Temporary Shelter. As part of a long rest, you can construct a lean-to or similar shelter to keep your group dry and in the shade for the duration of the rest. Because it was fashioned quickly from whatever wood was available, the shelter collapses 1d3 days after being assembled.

Woodworking (Extended)

If you can dream it, you can probably build it with the help of your Carpenter's Tools. It just may require a large purse of gold, a lot of time, and a near endless supply of wood and other materials.

If you aren't proficient in Carpenter's Tools, you can still hire others to build the structure, you just can't help.

Unlike other tools, you need access to large quantities of wood. If you find yourself wanting to create a massive structure in the middle of the desert, you may have to ship materials in to work with. This may increase you costs per the DMs discretion.

Strength is the attribute modifier for Carpenter's Tools.

Land

If the structure players wish to build will be on owned land in a kingdom or other governed region, players must typically buy the land to be allowed to build by the local government, at a price determined by its size and location. The player will need to acquire a royal charter (a legal document granting permission to oversee the estate in the name of the crown), a land grant (a legal document bequeathing custody of the land to the character for as long as he or she remains loyal to the crown), or a deed (a legal document that serves as proof of ownership). Land can also be acquired by inheritance or other means.

The price of land typically runs between 100 gp and 1,000 gp for a small to well-sized plot, but can stretch upwards of 5,000 gp for a large, expansive plot. The DM determined land prices, and not all land is inherently for sale.

Building

Once you have the necessary paperwork, you can begin construction of your structure. Each day you spend working on your structure, you remove 1 additional day from the total construction time of the structure.

Multiple characters may work on a structure for its entire construction time in this way to secure this benefit multiple times.

Not all buildings are made entirely out of wood, it's up to the DM's discretion on this. You can assist someone building something with Mason's Tools.

Fortresses, Temples, & Strongholds

Warlock Homebrew has a massive selection of very polished homebrew materials. The one in question is for player-owned structures and I'll refer to it when it comes to players wanting to own their very own structures/plots of land.

Fortresses, Temples, & Strongholds

Cartographer's Tools XGtE Pg. 80

Components. Cartographer's Tools consist of a quill, ink, parchment, a pair of compasses, calipers, and a ruler.

Arcana, History, Religion. You can use your knowledge of maps and locations to unearth more detailed information when you use these skills. For instance, you might spot hidden messages in a map, identify when the map was made to determine if geographical features have changed since then, and so forth.

Nature. Your familiarity with physical geography makes it easier for you to answer questions or solve issues relating to the terrain around you.

Survival. Your understanding of geography makes it easier to find paths to civilization, to predict areas where villages or towns might be found, and to avoid becoming lost. You have studied so many maps that common patterns, such as how trade routes evolve and where settlements arise in relation to geographic locations, are familiar to you.

Craft a Map. While traveling, you can draw a map as you go in addition to engaging in other activities.

Cartography (Extended)

Crafting a map requires proficiency in the use of Cartographer's Tools and you must know the region for the map you wish to draw. You can be actively traveling through the region and drawing your map.

At the end of the day, the cartographer must spend 1 hour to finalize the details of their map during their long rest, there is no check required.

Wisdom is the attribute modifier for Brewer's Supplies.

Types of Maps

Over the course of an adventure, there may be chances to draw maps of all sizes. Below are the different standards for map sizes along with how quickly one can walk across their depicted regions on foot.

Crafting Maps

While traveling across the lands you can craft maps to assist the navigator by keeping them appraised of the terrain and providing suggestions on where to move across the geography. At the beginning of every day you must pass your Cartographer's Tools check.

Cobbler's Tools XGtE Pg. 80

Components. Cobbler's tools consist of a hammer, an awl, a knife, a shoe stand, a cutter, spare leather, and thread.

Arcana, History. Your knowledge of shoes aids you in identifying the magical properties of enchanted boots or the history of such items.

Investigation. Footwear holds a surprising number of secrets. You can learn where someone has recently visited by examining the wear and the dirt that has accumulated on their shoes. Your experience in repairing shoes makes it easier for you to identify where damage might come from.

Maintain Shoes. As part of a long rest, you can repair your companion's shoes. For the next 24 hours, up to six creatures of your choice who wear shoes you worked on can travel up to 10 hours a day without making saving throws to avoid exhaustion.

Craft Hidden Compartment. With 8 hours of work, you can add a hidden compartment to a pair of shoes. The compartment can hold an object up to 3 inches long and 1 inch wide and deep. You make an Intelligence check using your tool proficiency to determine the Intelligence (Investigation) check DC needed to find the compartment.

Shoemaking (Extended)

To craft a pair of shoes, you must spend at least 1 hour a day working on your shoes. This can be done during a long rest, around a camp fire, in a comfortable inn or even a workshop. Once you have completed a number of hours required, you must then roll a Cobbler's Tools Check against the DC of the shoes you are working on.

On a success, you complete the shoes. On a failed check, you realize there is a fault in the shoes and they must be repaired. See Repairs for more information.

Dexterity is the attribute modifier for Cobbler's Tools.

Lasts and Feet

When creating shoes, you need the measurements of the feet you are working with. So long as the creature you are making the shoes for are with you during your crafting times, and are available to have their feet measured, you can make progress on their shoes. If they are not available, you can not make progress unless you first carve a wooden Last per foot that is shaped off their feet.

Repairs

If your shoes, or another pair of shoes, are damaged during your adventuring days they are unable to be worn and grant no benefits. Once the repairs are completed and the time has elapsed, you must succeed on a Cobbler's Tools check against the DC of the shoes you are repairing, you have advantage on this check if the shoes you are fixing were originally made by you.

On a success, they are repaired and can be used like usual. On a failed roll, you must restart the process on repairing them. They also gain the Maintain Shoes benefit and all adventurers with repaired/maintained shoes can travel up to 10 hours a day without making saving throws to avoid exhaustion.

Shoe Designs

The designs of shoes may lend themselves to dancing, climbing or swimming. When you begin cobbling your shoes, you must first determine what type you are working on. Once you decide on the Shoe Design, you can begin crafting the shoes. After you have completed your shoes, they may provide a benefit based on their design. Only the creature that the shoes were cobbled for can utilize this benefit, if anyone else tries to wear the shoes, they may be able to but they do not receive any benefits from the shoes.

Cooking (Extended)

The fine art of cooking is a coveted set of skills for many people. As an adventurer, you are not often graced with a full kitchen and have to make due with what you have available with you.

Recipes can be cooked during a short or long rest. The amount of portions created depends on each recipe, and after some time they will become Inedible, unless otherwise preserved.

To cook something, you choose how many times you wish to cook the recipe. At the end of the cooking time, you must make a Wisdom or Intelligence check (your choice), adding the proficiency bonus if you are proficient with Cook's Utensils, this is your cooking check.

On a success you create the amount of meals you chose. On a failure, all ingredients are wasted, and the meal does not provide any effects or is inedible. If you surpass the Cooking Check by 10 or more you will create a Gourmet version of the dish that may provide additional effects.

There are three levels of quality when it comes to meals, Typical, Gourmet, and Inedible. A typical meal is simply a routine meal meant to fill your hunger. Gourmet meals are the best of the best and require previous experience cooking that dish, but also the chef's best effort.

Intelligence OR Wisdom is the attribute modifier for Cook's Utensils.

Equipment

It's impossible to match a full stocked kitchen in the field, your equipment will play a role in the difficulty of each meal you cook. Trying to cook a gourmet meal in the field is many times harder than having a full set of cooking equipment and sanitized kitchen at your fingertips. Cooking equipment falls under three categories, Field Equipment, Home Equipment, and Professional Equipment. Field equipment adds +5 to the Cooking DC of a meal, Home Equipment +2, Professional Equipment -2.

Recipes

There are two types of recipes; Simple and Complex. Each dish type will provide their own unique challenges when it comes to a chef and their own unique benefits for those that consume them. A Simple recipe can be cooked on a campfire or similar source of heat. They include eggs, meats, and stews. These recipes take 1 hour to cook. A Complex recipe requires at a minimum Home Equipment to be cooked. They include broths, desserts, pastries, and soups. These recipes take 2 hours to cook and normally require a special ingredient.

Ingredients

Ingredients can be bought in bulk from most general good stores and have the following properties.

Chef's Journal

Chefs can teach each other recipes and if you discover a chef's recipe book, you can also learn any recipes they've recorded.

You must spend an hour to make a progress of 10gp towards the cost of the recipe, which counts as light activity. During this time, you must have access to fresh samples of the special ingredient (if any), as well as a source of heat or fire.

When you reach 100gp of progress towards a recipe, you must succeed a Cooking check, on failure you lose 50gp worth of progress. You make this check every 100gp of progress, I.E. 100, 200, 300, etc.

Once your progress reaches the cost of the recipe, the ingredients for one recipe are consumed and you add that recipe to your Chef's Journal.

Cooking your Dish

To cook a dish, you must know the recipe or know what ingredients are required. After choosing a dish to cook, you must gather the required ingredients.

A character can only benefit from one Dish per short rest, if they eat any more they gain no additional benefits and retain the benefits, even if they have ran out, of the first dish.

Forgery Kit XGtE Pg. 81

Components. A forgery kit includes several different types of ink, a variety of parchments and papers, several quills, seals, and sealing wax, gold and silver leaf, and small tools to sculpt melted wax to mimic a seal.

Arcana. A forgery kit can be used in conjuration with the Arcana skill to determine if a magic item is real or fake.

Deception. A well-crafted forgery, such as papers proclaiming you to be a noble or a writ that grants you safe passage, can lend credence to a lie.

History. A forgery kit combined with your knowledge of history improves your ability to create fake historical documents or to tell if an old document is authentic.

Investigation. When you examine objects, proficiency with a forgery kit is useful for determining how an object was made and whether it is genuine.

Other Tools. Knowledge of other tools makes your forgeries that much more believable. For example, you could combine proficiency with a forgery kit and a proficiency with a cartographer's tools to make a fake map.

Quick Fake. As part of a short rest, you can produce a forged document no more than one page in length. As part of a long rest, you can produce a document that is up to four pages long. Your Intelligence check using a forgery kit determines the DC for someone else's intelligence (Investigation) check to spot the fake.

Forging (Extended)

The art of forgery is a long and strenuous process that takes ample amount of time and effort, combined with skill and delicacy. There are a number of articles a person can attempt to create a forgery of and each one will require its own specific set of requirements determined by the DM.

Intelligence is the attribute modifier for the Forgery Kit.

Creating a Forgery

Forgeries come in three levels of complexity, Simple, Detailed, and Extensive. Each complexity requires a different amount of time, and possibly unique materials to create.

Interaction

Creating a forgery will put the item in a variety of different situations where it might be discovered as false. A suspicious creature can make a Intelligence (Investigation) check against your forgeries DC.

The DC is 8 plus your Intelligence modifier, plus your Proficiency bonus if applicable.

History. Your mastery of a game includes knowledge of its history, as well as of important events it was connected to or prominent historical figures involved with it.

Insight. Playing games with someone is a good way to gain understanding of their personality, granting you a better ability to discern their lies from their truths and read their mood.

Sleight of Hand. Sleight of Hand is a useful skill for cheating at a game, as it allows you to swap pieces, palm cards, or alter a die roll. Alternatively, engrossing a target in a game by manipulating the components with dexterous movements is a great distraction for a pickpocket attempt.

Gaming (Extended)

Games are a structured form of play, usually undertaken for enjoyment. Key components of games are goals, rules, challenges, and interaction.

Intelligence OR Wisdom is the attribute modifier for Gaming Sets.

Gaming Sets

This item encompasses a wide range of game pieces, including dice and decks of cards (for games such as Three-Dragon Ante). A few common examples appear on the gaming set table, but other kinds of gaming sets exist. If you are proficient with a gaming set, you can add your proficiency bonus to ability checks you make to play a game with that set. Each type of gaming set requires a seperate proficiency.

Glassblower's Tools XGtE Pg. 82

Components. The tools include a blowpipe, a small marver, blocks, and tweezers. You need a source of heat to work on glass.

Arcana, History. Your knowledge of glassmaking techniques aids you when you examine glass objects, such as potion bottles or glass items found in a treasure hoard. For instance, you can study how a glass potion bottle has been changed by its contents to help determine a potion's effect. (A potion might leave behind a residue, deform the glass, or stain it.)

Investigation. When you study an area, you knowledge can aid you if the clues include broken glass or glass objects.

Identify Weakness. With 1 minute of study, you can identify the weak points in a glass object. Any damage dealt to the object by striking a weak spot is doubled.

Glassmaking (Extended)

Glassblowing is a forming technique that involves inflating molten glass into a bubble (or parison) with the aid of a blowpipe (or blow tube). A person who blows glass is called a glassblower, glassmith, or gaffer.

Glassblowing requires you to utilize a forge (or equivalent) to craft pieces. There are two different types of methods when it comes to creating pieces with glass, Free-blowing and Mold-blowing.

Dexterity OR Wisdom is the attribute modifier for Glassblower's Tools.

Free-blowing

A creative individual can craft nearly any shape with the free-blowing method. Although harder, there is no time spent preping a mold, but every piece comes out unique and may be near impossible to remake.

Mold-blowing

Mold-blowing is an alternative glassblowing method that came after the invention of free-blowing. A glob of molten glass is placed on the end of the blowpipe, and is then inflated into a wooden or metal carved mold. In that way, the shape and the texture of the bubble of glass is determined by the design on the interior of the mold rather than the skill of the glassworker.

Molds

Molds immensely drop the difficulty of crafting glass, but the quality of your product hinges strictly on the molds quality. For wood molds you need someone proficient with Woodcarver's Tools, for metal molds you need someone proficient with Smith's Tools. Crafting the mold requires a DC check in the respective artisan tools each day and a set amount of gold and time, they makes a progress of 10 gp a day. Wood molds are one time use, where metal molds can be used multiple times.

Healer's Kit PHB Pg. 151

Healer's Kit. This kit is a leather pouch containing bandages, salves, and splints. The kit has ten uses. As an action, you can expend one use of the kit to stabilize a creature that has 0 hit points, without needing to make a Wisdom (Medicine) check.

Healer's Kit (Extended)

When it comes to administering medicines, you must learn the proper Procedures, you can expend a number of uses of the Healer's Kit to provide an effect to a targeted creature. When you expend a use of the Healer's Kit you must roll a Medicine (Wisdom) check against the DC.

You must have proficiency in the Healer's Kit to perform these Procedures and you must know the Procedures. Most adventurers start out only know three Procedures, but they can learn more by meeting with the local healers, hospitals, or finding books on health and wellness.

Wisdom is the attribute modifier for the Healer's Kit.

Performing a Procedure

When you perform a Procedure, you must have enough uses in your kit to perform the Procedure. You can use a short or long rest to organize your Healer's Kits and combine them together to a maximum of 10 uses.

Upon selecting the Procedure you wish to perform, you must roll a Medicine (Wisdom) check versus the DC of the Procedure. On a success or failure, you expend the uses of your Healer's Kit. If the check is a success, the effect starts immediately. On a fail, nothing happens.

Creatures can only benefit from one Procedure per short or long rest. Any creature you wish to perform a Procedure on, including yourself, must be a living creature as Procedures have no effect on Undead or Constructs. If you fail a Procedure, the target creature can not be attempted on again until they finish a short or long rest.

Some Procedures can be augmented to have a longer or stronger effect, these are known as Advanced Procedures and they typically have a higher DC. If you attempt an Advanced Procedure and fail the check, the Procedure is a failure, even if you would normally pass the Medicine (Wisdom) check for the non-advanced Procedure.

Healer Feat

Some Procedures have addition effects that are unlocked if you take the Healer feat found on Page 167 of the Player's Handbook.

Furthermore, creatures under your care now gain the benefits of two effects from your Procedures, but the effects can not stack. If a creature is already under the effect of one, the new effect replaces the old.

Procedures

Calming Balm

As an action, you can expend a use of your Healer's Kit to calm a creature's emotions by applying a soothing balm to their neck. If they are an unwilling creature, they must succeed on a Charisma Save Throw against your Healer's Kit Save DC (8 + Wisdom Modifier + Proficiency Bonus) or find that their emotions have been calmed for 1 minute. This means that if a creature feels strongly towards you, they become indifferent (Up to GM discretion). A creature can choose to fail the save if they so choose. This balm does not work on calming emotions that have been affected by magical effects, like Charm Person.
Action Required: Action
Healer's Kit DC: 12
Uses Expended: 1
Healer's Feat: The effect lasts an additional minute.

Herbalism (Extended)

While players are out traveling amongst the world, they might want to gather some local flora. This is known as Herbalism. Herbalism is mainly used to gather things like seeds, coral, mushrooms, or bark. It can also be used to gather very potent magical ingredients like ghostly stalks or water infused with the elements.

This action can occur during downtime if the party is out in the wilderness, or it can occur in the middle of the game as the party travels around. This is up to the DM, and they have final say amongst how much you gather and what you gather. This supplement will give a baseline on how to distribute these things.

Ingredient Listing

The following is a quick reference for ingredients.

Ingredient Listing

Performing Herbalism

There is currently no set Herbalism skill in 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons. For purposes of this supplement, the player would use their Wisdom or Intelligence Modifier (whichever is higher) when trying to gather ingredients.

Investigation. When you inspect jeweled objects, your proficiency with jeweler's tools aids you in picking out clues they might hold.

Identify Gems. You can identify gems and determine their value at a glance.

Jeweler's Tools (Extended)

To create jewelry, one requires the raw precious metal or other valuable material, as well as any gems desired for the end product. These gems can be pre-cut or uncut as desired. The jeweler's craft includes both setting the stones as well as cutting them to specifications. Of course, if you wish to simply cut raw gems into more valuable forms, you need only acquire the gems in question.

When beginning a jewelry or gemcutting project, you first determine the quality of jewelry you wish to make or the value to be added while modifying a gem based on the cut you wish to perform. After working for the listed time, make an appropriate tool proficiency check. Every 100 gp you designate towards a gem adds +1 to the DC starting at DC 11 adding 100 gp to the value for gems.

Success on this check produces the desired object, either a gem cut with your set value added or the quality of jewelry you designed and crafted. For jewelry crafted this way you will roll a percentile and the value of your piece will be that percentage based on the max value of the quality you made. Failure renders the product of poor quality and can be sold for half the material cost.

Dexterity or Intelligence is the attribute modifier for Jeweler's Tools.

If you aren't proficient in Mason's Tools, you can still hire others to build the structure, you just can't help.

Unlike other tools, you need access to large quantities of stone, clay, mortar and other materials. If you find yourself wanting to create a massive castle in the middle of the desert, you may have to ship materials in to work with. This may increase you costs per the DMs discretion.

Strength is the attribute modifier for Mason's Tools.

Land

If the structure players wish to build will be on owned land in a kingdom or other governed region, players must typically buy the land to be allowed to build by the local government, at a price determined by its size and location. The player will need to acquire a royal charter (a legal document granting permission to oversee the estate in the name of the crown), a land grant (a legal document bequeathing custody of the land to the character for as long as he or she remains loyal to the crown), or a deed (a legal document that serves as proof of ownership). Land can also be acquired by inheritance or other means.

The price of land typically runs between 100 gp and 1,000 gp for a small to well-sized plot, but can stretch upwards of 5,000 gp for a large, expansive plot. The DM determined land prices, and not all land is inherently for sale.

Building

Once you have the necessary paperwork, you can begin construction of your structure. Each day you spend working on your structure, you remove 1 additional day from the total construction time of the structure.

Multiple characters may work on a structure for its entire construction time in this way to secure this benefit multiple times.

Not all buildings are made entirely out of stone, it's up to the DM's discretion on this. You can assist someone building something with Carpenter's Tools.

The creature must be incapacitated or dead, and the harvesting requires 1d6 minutes followed by a DC 20 Intelligence (Nature) check. (Proficiency with the poisoner's kit applies to this check if the character doesn't have proficiency in Nature.) On a successful check, the character harvests enough poison for a single dose. On a failed check, the character is unable to extract any poison. If the character fails the check by 5 or more, the character is subjected to the creature's poison.

Poisons (Extended)

Strength is the attribute modifier for Smith's Tools.

Crafting

Crafting items is just not possible on a campfire, you're required to find or build your own forge.

When crafting a new item, your finalized product can be of three different quality levels, Scrap, Mundane, and Masterwork.

Scrap. Scrap decreases the base effectiveness of the item. For weapons, this gives them a -1 to attack and damage rolls, and for armor this gives them a -1 to AC.

Mundane. This is the standard quality level of items around the realms. Most items smith's make will end up being mundane.

Masterwork. The best quality an item can reach. The items are more effective than their mundane counterparts.

Woodcarving (Extended)

Carving wood into beautiful art or deadly weapons requires precise focus and delicate movements, crafting objects requires that you have wood present. There are different types of wood and each will have different effects on the object you are craft and may present a harder challenge as well.

Once you have completed a number of hours required, or 8 hours of work, whichever comes first, you must then roll a Woodcarver's Tool Check against the DC of the carving you are working on.

Dexterity is the attribute modifier for Woodcarver's Tools.

Drafting your project

Woodcarving can be as short or as long as your project demands. One can finish crafting some mundane arrows in an hour, or can spend a whole day carving a fine statue that will still take a weeks worth of time to finish. While drafting your project, there are two things to keep in mind, detail and scale.

Detail

The detail of your carving effects the length of time required to complete your project. There are three different categories when it comes to detail, Mundane, Fine, Precise.

Mundane. Arrows, quarterstaffs, and small general shapes are counted among the mundane projects you can craft. All of these are simple enough that they can be done during a short rest, often taking anywhere between 10-30 minutes. Mundane projects add +2 to the difficulty modifier.

Fine. Fine projects are detailed enough to require at least an hour of dedicated time, depending on the scope of the project. These sort of projects include statuettes of moderate details or other slightly more complicated designs. Fine projects add +4 to the difficulty modifier.

Precise. Precise projects consists of carved patterns or intricate shapes and designs. They require at least eight hours to carve, depending on the scope of the project as well. Precise projects add +6 to the difficulty modifier.

Scale

The scale of the project effects the length of time to carve out the shape in wood, it represents the size of your creation and falls under three categories, small, medium, large.

Small. Small projects require at least 5 minutes to carve plus the amount of time the detail requires. A small project is something that is small enough to fit or be handled easily with a single hand. This includes things like figurines, arrow shafts, or objects that weigh below 5 lbs. Small projects add +4 to the difficulty modifier.

Medium. Medium projects require at least an hour to carve plus the amount of time the detail requires. A medium project is something that is big enough that can easily be handled with two hands, a shield, or objects that weigh below 30 lbs. Medium projects add +3 to the difficulty modifier.

Large. Large projects require at least 8 hours to carve plus the amount of time the detail requires. A large project could be a throne, a pulpit, a wooden wall decal or anything that requires a multiple people to move or a lot of effort. Large projects add +2 to the difficulty modifier.
