# Avalanche's Guide to Monster Hunting

<p class='pt'> Monster Hunter is a series of popular games by CAPCOM, with a focus on hunting monsters and upgrading equipment based on the resources carved from monsters. This is an attempt to translate the action game into the TRPG format.

</div>

## Why Monster Hunter?
Monster Hunter was one of my favorite games growing up, and I ran several campaigns in 5e focused around guilds. I decided to do a leap of faith, and create a whole system for crafting and combat based on the Monster Hunter games. I find these systems the most fun I've had playing games, which is why I want to bring it to Tabletop.

## What is different?

The difference is Combat and Equipment, mainly. Combat is now more tactical, and more decisive. You can choose to run around the monster, constantly dodging from attacks, or taking opportunities to react and slash the monster at every turn.

Monster Hunter is a high magic setting game, but magical armor, weapons, and other items that are classic to D&D don't exist.. Instead you gain materials from hunting creatures, gathering resources, or trading. These materials provide magical effects when you craft weapons or armor out of them.

## What about Amellwind's Guide to Monster Hunting?
I was excited when I first heard about Amellwind's guide, but I was quite unsatisfied with the weapon and crafting systems he made for his book. While the slotting idea is a great concept for simplicity and usability, I'm a experienced programmer, and wouldn't mind creating a whole suit of tools to make monster hunting easy and practical within this book. There are many things I have "stolen" from his guides, but it's for private use, so who really cares? This is an expansion of an expansion, basically.

> ##### Lore
> I care little for the lore of Monster Hunter, and will run the game on a world of my own. If one wants to DM their own game, be sure to utilize Amellwind's Guide, as it contains many details and lots of annotations for the lore of Monster Hunter.

# Creating your Character
<p class='pt'>Before creating your character, be sure to consider the changes below. </p>

</div>

## Races and Classes Changes
Most Races and Classes, from Eberron to Unearthed Arcana to Xanathar's Guide, are allowed. There are a few exception to the rules when talking about specific mechanics.

### Classes and Class Features

#### Artificer
The Artificer's Infuse Items features don't fit the mechanics of the items in the game, and as such, they are switched to Decoration Crafting. Several other features, such as the magical item related ones, are also changed.

<div class='descriptive'>
 
 ##### Decoration Crafting
 Every long rest, the Artificer can create a decoration from materials it has. The max rank of Decorations it can craft increases by Level. 
 
 You start with a number of decoration recipes equal to 1 + your Artificer level. 
 
 Every time you level up, you can add another decoration to the list of known recipes. Decoration recipes can be learned from other resources, such as books.
 With simple decorations, you can craft all tiers of the decoration, from 1 to 10.
 You can slot a decoration into your Battle Mech or Artillery, and it benefits from it instead of you.

</div>

> ##### Decoration Adept (10th Level)
> You can slot one extra decorations into any item.
> Your complex decorations can be used one more time before a short rest.
> ##### Decoration Savant (14th Level)
> You can slot two extra decorations into any item.
> You ignore common ingredients when crafting decorations.
> Your complex decorations can be used one more time before a short rest.
> ##### Decoration Master (18th Level) 
> You can slot three extra decorations into any item.
> You ignore Mundane ingredients when crafting decorations, but not tiered material.
> ##### Soul of Artificer (20th Level)
>You gain a +1 bonus to all saving throws per decoration in your armor.
>If you're reduced to 0 hit points but not killed out-right, you can use your reaction to sacrifice one of your decorations, causing you to drop to 1 hit point instead of 0.
>Your complex decorations can be used infinitely

\columnbreak

#### Druids
Yes, the druids can wildshape into monsters from the Monster Hunter Monster Manual. But they can't summon monsters. But I impose the rule I have on all of my tables on wildshape: You can't turn into monsters you haven't fought, merely seeing them is not enough.

#### Fighters
Yes, Cavaliers can capture weaker monsters and ride them into battle. See capturing monsters.

#### Monks
Monks can use two handed weapons as part of martial arts, but not weapons with the Heavy property.

#### Rangers
I'm talking about U.A Revised version. PHB ranger is trash.

##### Favored Enemy
Additionally, you can choose
Theoropods, Piscine Wyverns, Fanged Wyverns, Brute Wyverns, Winged Wyverns, Bird Wyverns or Elder Dragons

##### Beast Conclave
Yes, you can choose a monster as your companion. However, you must first capture the monster, and the cost and time spent increases exponentially according to CR. If the monster dies, it can't be revived. You can only tame monsters below your lvl -4.
(Ex, you are lvl 5, the max level you can choose as a companion is CR 1).

#### Wizards
School of Invention is banned.

### Races
You can use all races, including the races written in Amellwind's Guide to Monster Hunting. I don't see any reason to change anything.

>##### F.A.Q
> - **What Level do we start at?**
> - Level 1
> - **Roll or Point Buy?**
> - Point Buy.
> - **Starting Equipment?**
> - Normal Equipment. You'll get the hunting weapons later.
> - **And other rules?**
> - Variant Encumbrance. (6x and 12x)

\pagebreakNum

## New Skills

##### React (Dex)
Reacting is now measured as a skill called React, which uses your dexterity modifier. This skill is used for quickly reacting to attacks and events outside of the expected, or timing correctly your movements.
Classes which can get proficiency in React are any classes that can learn Acrobatics.

##### Block (Str)
Reacting is now measured as a skill called Block, which uses your Strength modifier. This skill is used for blocking attacks against enormous monsters.
Classes which can get proficiency in Block are any classes that can learn Athletics.

## New Feats

##### Quick Reactions
You get proficiency with the React skill.
When you take a reaction to Dodge, you roll the react check with advantage.

##### Stronghold Guard
You get proficiency with the Block skill.
When you take a reaction to Block, you add the AC bonus from your shield to your roll.

##### Materialistic
When you gather in a hunt, you can choose to get advantage on the DC of the gather OR double the amount collected.

##### Meowtastic Cook
When you cook a special meal, you get a flat +5 to the roll against the meal.

\pagebreakNum

# II
##### Combat

</div>

\pagebreak

# Combat
<p class='pt'> Combat in MH:DE takes a heavy departure from normal 5E combat, with heavy focusing on tactics, positioning and play-by-play decisions.</p>

</div>

## Combat Mechanics

### Composite Actions
Composite actions are those that utilize an action, bonus action, and your reaction all at once. These are usually your big actions for weapons. If you execute a Composite Action foolishly, you leave yourself open to Area attacks.

### Maximized Damage
Maximized Damage refers that when you are going to roll dice for an attack, instead you pick the max number of the dice. So 2d4+2 damage instantly becomes 10 damage.

>##### Stacking Maximized Damage
>If you have two "Maximizers" affecting the same action, the attack not only is maximized, but it also crits. This is called ~~Ultra Instinct~~ a **Delta Attack**.

### Slower Actions
These actions are made slower.

* Sheathing/Unsheathing a weapon - Takes an action.
* Consuming an Item - Takes an action. (You can use items while wielding a weapon.)
* Using your slinger - Takes an action.

### Sharpness
You can sharpen your weapon using a Whetstone or a Whetore Fish. After you sharpen a weapon, the damage can't be negated for your next 4 attacks. You can only sharpen weapons that deal slashing damage (That doesn't include Bowguns loaded with Slashing Ammo.)

### Leaping Attacks
You can make leaping attacks when falling from the air. On a hit, you can choose to make an acrobatics/athletics check to mount the beast. On a success, you are mounted.

##### Riding a Monster
Monster can be ridden on a successful leaping attack. When riding a monster, you can make free attacks every turn, but you have to make a acrobatics/athletics check for every turn you spend riding the monster, and the monster will definitively try to smash you into the wall. This continues until you get smashed, thrown off, or jump off as an action.

##### Finisher
Some hunters are thirsty for action, and want to jump off the monster in style. When jumping off, one can make an acrobatics/athletic checks to give the monster one last devastating blow. You attack, maximizing your damage.

\columnbreak

### Aimed Attack
When attacking, you can aim at specific parts of a target. Doing so grants you disadvantage.

### Area Attacks
Area Attacks are executed both by players or by monsters, striking down a specific area. Most Area Attacks are declared, meaning that you declare you are going to execute them at a turn, and it happens at the beginning of your next one. The only way to avoid those Area Attacks are by Dodging, Guarding or Counter Attacking.

>##### Dodge
> As an reaction, you can dodge. Dodging requires a React check against the incoming area attack. On a dodge, you move a distance according to your weapon. Dodges don't trigger A.O.O.s from huge or larger monsters.

>##### Guards
> As an reaction, you can guard against an monster's area attack. Guarding requires a Block check against the incoming attack, and can only be executed by weapons with the Guard property.

>##### Counter Attack
> As an reaction, you can counter-attack. Counter attack requires a React Check against the incoming area attack. On a successful counter, you deal an attack of opportunity. Counter Attacks by themselves don't reduce damage, but can stop an area attack altogether if the damage is high enough.

\pagebreakNum

## New Conditions
On sake of necessity and variety, there are a couple of conditions that were added. My refusal to add a stamina mechanic removed about half of them, sadly.

### Damaging Conditions
All damaging conditions end after 1 minute, so the more resilient of you can try to tough it out.
(Or die trying)

##### Burning
Whilst burning, you take a fixed amount of damage every turn, until you spend an action to quench the fire.

##### Poisoned
While poisoned, you take a fixed amount of damage every turn, until you drink some form of antidote.

##### Bleeding
When you are bleeding, you take the same damage of the attack that gave you this condition. You can recover by utilizing a healer's kit or bandages.

### Blights
Blights are conditions dealt by stronger monsters. Blights can only be cured by a Antiblight Elixir.

##### Dragonblight
You can't deal critical hits while you're dragonblighted. All your elemental damages instead deal slashing, bludgeoning or piercing damage, depending on your weapon.

##### Waterblight
While waterblighted, you can't use reactions.

##### Thunderblighted
While thunderblighted, every lightning damage you receive will stun you for a turn.

##### Deathblight
Every attack that hits you will deal maximized damage.

\columnbreak

## New Damage Types
There are three damage types added to the game, in order to conform to Monster Hunter's standard damage types.

##### Dragon
Special element generated by Dragon Cores. Most Dragons are vulnerable to this kind of damage.

##### Water
Water. I dunno man, the damage is in the game, what can I do? Apparently Water Hurts.

##### Explosive
Everything that explodes deals this kind of damage. Is powerfully used to interrupt area attacks from monsters.

## Sensibilities and Negation
Armors, Monsters and their parts have sensibilities and negations. A monster with Sensibility 5 to fire, for example, always takes 5 extra damage points when hit with a fire attack. A monster with Negation 10 to slashing, would always take 10 less damage from slashing attacks.

</div>

\pagebreakNum

## Things of notice

### DCs
There are three new DCs to note. Riding DC, Reaction DC, and Guard DC. Each respectively used for Riding, Dodging or Counter attacking, and Guarding against the Rathalos attacks.

### Parts
The Rathalos has four parts, Tail, Head, Talons and Wings. Using aimed attacks with a disadvantage, you can break down part by part to make your fight easier. When heads are broken, they are vulnerable to all damage.

### Areas Attacks
The Rathalos has 3 area attacks, Crash Attack, Fire Ball, and Air Blast. Crash attack is an Melee Area Attack, so it can be countered, but it is impossible to guard unless you are using a weapon with "Heavy Guard". All of these have telegraphs, and the monster will usually spend a turn charging itself up before executing any of these area attacks.

### Legendary Points
The Rathalos has 3 Legendary points. Monsters can use legendary points as if they were legendary resistances, or to boost up a attack, or to use any normal attack. They can also spend two legendary points to instantly execute a Area Attack, if they are in conditions to.

### Interruption Damage
The threshold of damage you need to deal in a single attack to stop an Area Attack from Rathalos. Bludgeoning and Blast Damages have lower thresholds.

## Defeating Monsters

### Slayed
You can slay a monster by reducing it's Hit Points to 0. Once you slay a monster, you can carve him for resources. You always get a set of resources when you carve a monster. Hunting down stronger variants allows one to obtain rarer materials, such as gems and plates. You can only get a Tail if you had cut it down mid-battle. Tails are used to make special meals that leave the whole hunting squad with special effects.

### Captured
You can capture a monster by reducing it's HP by exhausting the creature by 4 points, or reducing it's HP to 10% of it's maximum, and then putting the creature to sleep with an sleep trap. Capturing a monster allows you to hold it captive, eventually taming it. Holding a monster captive can get pretty expensive, depending on it's size, eating habits, and tendency to break it's cages.
Every month, your captured monsters can be harvested for their materials. This means no more hunting for basic materials.

\pagebreak

## Loot
When you hunt a monster, you return with several kinds of materials.

### Crafting Materials
There are three kinds of drops from monsters that are materials. Each Material is about 10 lbs worth.

#### Bones
Used to craft weapons. These rank from 1 to 10, allowing one to craft weapons of the same rank.
#### Scales/Hide
Used to craft weapons. These rank from 1 to 5, allowing one to craft armor of the same rank.
#### Cores
Used to craft everything, from augments, to weapons and armor. Every monster has a core, from which you can give weapons and armor extra powerful elements for them.

### Augments
Augments are special items that can be slotted into weapons and armors, they somewhat rare, having strong effects that trigger on occasions, or can be activated at will.

### Items
Monsters will drop items that are usable on occasion, these are called Items. There are several kinds of items. Slinger pods, consumables, oils, poisons and other things that can be useful in battle. Most of these can be farmed by capturing monsters.

### Meat
Each unit of meat represents 1 lb of meat, and can be brought back to sell, or used as rations with proper preparation from the Cook. Some meat cuts, such as meat from a Puko-Puko is poisonous, and needs to be prepared when eaten, getting an Cooking Check from the chef of the hunt.

##### Hunting

</div>

\pagebreak

# Hunting
<p style='font-size:16px'> This section details how hunts work, and how gathering materials, collecting minerals, fishing, and tracking monsters work.

</div>

## Hunting Monsters
Hunting is NOT done alone. Unless you are an extremely strong hunter fighting down a weaker monster, you will usually not be able to even track down a monster alone. Hunts can last for a couple of hours, to months of searching of tracks for a specific monster. The island of Cardiff is gigantic, and thus, you will need to do it the old way.

### Pre-Hunt
Although experienced hunters can gather food on the field, it is important to consider what you will need to hunt the monster. Not just food, but antidotes, special weapons and oils and phials and coatings and ammo, traps and more are all things to think about before heading on a hunt. Before you depart for a hunt, always make sure to have enough food stored for the full days of travel. On the pre-hunt, all the players roll a history check to determine information about the travel and the monster.

### Roles
Hunters come in packs of 5, and thus divide themselves in the following configuration.

##### The Trail-Blazer (Survival)
The Trail Blazer is the leader of the hunting party. He finds trails, leads the way, and makes the harsh decisions. The Trail-Blazer makes Survival checks to determine what type of complications or benefits the party encounters when heading on a hunt.

##### The Scout (Perception)
The Scout is responsible for keeping the party safe from sudden monster attacks, ambushes or other potential dangers. He makes perception checks to reduce the chances of having bad encounters or complications.

##### The Gatherer (Investigation/Nature)
The Gatherer is responsible for gathering food and materials while in the hunt. He makes investigation or nature checks to see what if he can gather something specific. If he has no idea of what's in the area, he makes an Investigation/Nature check to analyze all the options.

##### The Medic (Medicine)
The Medic is responsible for healing the wounded, and making sure every hunter returns alive. He makes medicine checks every long-rest to restore health for the wounded. Required equipment: Healer's Kit

##### The Chef (Cooking)
The Chef is responsible for cooking the meals of the party. Before a fight, he can cook a special meal using a rare ingredient to give special effects to the hunters.

\columnbreak

## Tracking
Hunts have time scales, varying from short to long. Short hunts mean that a hunt lasts only a day, medium hunts last weeks, and long hunts last months.

### Hunting Checks
Hunters have to make their checks at the beginning of every time unit of a hunt.
##### First,
The Scout makes a Perception check against the encounter table. Every complication below his perception check gets knocked off the Encounter table for that time unit.
##### Second, 
The Trail Blazer makes a Survival check against the Encounter table for the area, with a penalty depending on the area. If he ends up rolling against an complication that was below the Scout's check, nothing happens instead.
##### Third,
The Gatherer chooses a resource he wants to gather, and then rolls an Investigation/Nature check against the DC of the item. If he doesn't know what resources there are in the region, he must roll an Investigation/Nature check to find out.
##### Fourth,
The Chef makes a meal for the party. If he decides to create a special meal, he must do it against the Cooking DC of the meal, using his Cooking Skill (See Cooking section).
##### Fifth,
The Medic can make a Medicine check to help a fellow hunter heal from their injuries.

### Fighting the Monster
Once you finally pinpoint the Monster, you can have several types of tactic. Pull of an ambush on it's own home, trapping every corner of it's nest with bombs and pitraps. You can run after the monster, and all. 
Monsters have a tendency of actually valuing their lives, so if they start to lose, they may attempt to fly or run away, have that in mind when hunting! Every monster is different, both in mentality and biological patterns. The hunt ends only when you capture the monster, slay the monster, or the whole party is knocked out.

# Example Hunt: Diablos

<p>The party has decided that it's time to hunt a Diablos. The hunt will be a pretty difficult task, with the Desert regions being far away.</p>

##### The Pre-Hunt
They do the Pre-Hunt preparations, and determine that the hunt will be a medium one, taking a week to get to the desert region, a week to hunt the beast, and a week to return home. They also determine that the Diablos makes massive burrows that he calls it's nest, and he travels underground, creating massive tunnels. Due to high rolls, they also determine that it's a very strongly armored beast.

So they buy themselves a stockpile of potions, food to last for three weeks, armor-shattering pods, and head out to the hunt.

##### The Tracking
On the way there, the Trail-Blazer led the party well, finding signs early on that they were going on the right path. Until the fifth day, everything was well. The Trail-blazer was saved by the scout a couple of times, due to the great perception of the scout. The gatherer rolled great, gathering 3 Flashbugs, and a Mightseed. Eventually, the Trail-blazer rolled onto a 6, and the party was forced to fight the horde of Mernos. The Scout took heavy damage in this battle. The medic, over the course of the next few days, cured the scout properly, allowing him to get to full strength.

Reaching there, they started the tracking, and it quickly ended, as they found direct tracks to the Diablo's nest with great rolls by the Trail-Blazer.

##### The Battle
The chef cooked a special meal for everyone, increasing their critical hit damage. Inside the nest, they dug and set up several bomb traps, aswell as thunder traps. At night, the diablos returned to its nest, a gigantic Yian Garuga on its mouth. The Diablos was quickly ambushed in all directions. In the middle of the battle, the chef was knocked out, and the medic ran to save him. The medic pulled the chef to a safe corner, and then revived him using his healer's kit. The battle raged on, but eventually they slayed the Diablos.

They carved the materials they wanted, cut out the core, cut off MANY parts of meat for the travel back home, and departed home.

# Items

<p style='font-size: 16px;'> Items are the baseline of hunting. You will need items to regenerate yourself mid battle, to yard off curses and blights, to recover against poisons, to give you small boosts in battle, and so. More items will be revealed as you advance in the game </p>

</div>

## New Artisan Tools
There are Four new artisan tools added to the game. All kits weigh 5 lbs, with the exception of the Trapper's kit, which weighs 15 lbs.

### Alchemist's Kit
It already exists, but this fuse Herbalist's or Poisoner's kit into one. All recipes use the Alchemist's Kit.

### Cooking Kit
The Cooking Kit is necessary for the Cooks to, well, cook meals. Intelligence is used for proficiency. It includes pans, some oils, seasoning, and many, many small tools of kitchens.
### Fishing Kit
Used to fish. Check the fishing section.
### Trapper's
The Trapper's Kit is used to create traps. It contains shovels, sticks, cages, mechanic utensils, and is somewhat part tinker's tools. **You can only use the trapper's kit if you are PROFICIENT with it.**
#### Using the Trapper's kit
You can use the Trapper's kit to create large or small traps that will help you in combat. Creating small traps requires an action in combat, and large traps require at least a hour. Small traps utilize bugs and small cages, that when broke, pierce the bug, causing it to release the effect. Big traps are those like the Pitfall Trap, which can give you an immense edge in combat.

##### Bug Traps
You can build a trap utilizing a status bug. The trap, when broken, will cause the bug inside to release it's power. You can trap Flashbugs, Poisonbugs or Thunderbugs in this way. The effects are caused in a 15x15 circle, so stay out of it! (The Flashbug blinds all that can see it, unless you use a reaction to close your eyes.) The trap has 1hp and 8 AC, and only activates on an attack.

##### Pitfall Traps
You can build a Pitfall Trap over the course of a hour. This is a large hole that traps a monster that steps on top of it, releasing a gigantic net that traps him there.
To get out of a Pitfall Trap, the monster first must succeed on a DC20 Strength check, or Deal 40 slashing or fire damage to the Net. Then it must succeed on a DC15 athletics/acrobatics check to get out of the trap.

##### Cooking

</div>

\pagebreak

# Cooking

<p> Cooks can make an impact on the hunt by making the most incredible meals, increasing the hunter's skills just by preparation.

</div>

### Cooking Kit
To cook, you must have a cooking kit, and be proficient with it. The attribute added to the Cooking Kit is your choice between Intelligence and Wisdom, alongside your proficiency bonus.
### Durations
All effects last until your next long rest, next meal, or until you fall unconscious. This mostly means that the most important meal is the one you take just before the hunt, usually breakfast. You can't have two effects or more active at once. (Exception being the Gluttony Steak, which allows you to have three meals at once.)

### Ingredients
Ingredients have tiers from 1 to 5, just like with most materials. Whenever you cook, you must expend as many ingredients of the tier select as people you're cooking for. If you're cooking for 5, you expend 5 meats, for example.

##### Meats
Meats can be gathered by carving it from monsters. Usual meats, from non-monster animals all count as tier 1. Meats are used to make offensive meals.

##### Fishes
Fishes are gathered by the fishing system. Fishes are used to make defensive meals.

##### Vegetables
Vegetables are gathered by planting, or by gathering in specific regions of the world. Vegetables are used for utilitarian meals.

\columnbreak

## Cooking Meals
Cooking meals is simple. You gather the ingredient, use your cooking kit, and roll against the Meal's DC. On a failure, you have still fed the party, but there is no beneficial effect to the meal.

If you don't have any material to feed the party, you can roll a Gathering Check to find enough food to feed your party. The DC of this gathering check depends on the location you are traversing.

If you fail to feed your party for a day, all of you get a level of exhaustion.

>##### Storable Meals
>Some meals can be stored to be eaten later. These usually have the same effect as items, but more potent. Eating a meal is a composite action in combat.

##### Fishing

</div>

\pagebreak

# Fishing
<p class='pt'>For the most patient of the hunters, fishing is no mere task. It is a lifestyle of precision, timing, and a contest of nature. </p>

</div>

## Fishing Check
To fish, you roll a Nature or Survival check, which will be referred to as a Fishing Check. The Fishing check is rolled against the fishing difficulty of the body of water you are fishing. These three all have different fishes and difficulties. Once you pass the Fishing check, you roll a d6 to see what fish you get from the fish table. If you get a fish with a tier that is superior to the bait used, you get the fish closest to the tier.

## Fishing Requirements
### Fishing Bait
Whenever you fish, you need to craft bait using meats or vegetables of equal Tier. You should consider too that different fishes have different diets, and some fishes even eat ores.

### Fishing Kit
You need a Fishing Kit and proficiency with it to fish. The Fishing Kit includes tools to repair fishing tools and hooks, and a Steel fishing rod.

## Fish Effects
For a fish to apply it's effects, you must cook it as a meal, using the equivalent tiered fish recipe. If it's a fish that can be used to substitute crafting material, you can just use it instead of the ingredient it substitutes. If it's a fish that gives you an effect when eaten, you use it as an item mid-battle

## Example
A'Khul goes to fish in the Lake of Plenty, instead of gathering herbs. He hopes to find a bomb fish to craft cluster ammo for his Bowgun. He decides to use a Tier 3 meat as bait, and rolls nature for his fishing check. His roll is a 9, so he succeeds. He rolls a d6, getting a 2, which nets him a Sharp Fish. He tries again on the next hunting check, and rolls a 6 instead. Since he used Tier 3 meat, the Bomb Fish is the closest Tier 3 fish on the table, netting him a Bomb Fish.

</div>

\pagebreakNum

# Armor
<p style='font-size: 16px;'> Armor is what stands between you, and fireballs, claw attacks, air blasts, acid sprays, and ice darts. It is your lifeline, and you will learn to rely more and more on your armor, as you grow stronger.</p>

</div>

## Armor Weights

## Armor Extras

### Armor Sphere

### Augmentations
Armors can utilize Augmentations to increase a hunter's prowess in battle.

\columnbreak

## Armor Crafting

Armors have 5 Tiers, from Common to Omega. You can only use each tier of armor if you fit the minimum level. To craft armor, you require respectively tiered scales, which drop from Monsters, and starting from Tier 2, you can use Cores to increase their effectiveness, depending on which monster you got the core from. And even better yet, you can upgrade these armors, even without increasing their tier, to increase their effectiveness! You require a minimum level to utilize the armors.

|Name|Tier|Minimum Level|
|:-:|:-:|:--:|
|Common|1|1|

##### Weapons

</div>

\pagebreak

# Weapons

<p style='font-size: 15px;'>Weapons are the bread and butter of a hunter, </p>

</div>

### Gaining Experience
By utilizing a weapon, you accumulate experience, called "Weapon Mastery", which allows you to utilize the weapon with better proficiency, unlocking skills and paths. Every time you level up, you can put a point into a weapon, increasing it's W.M.L by 1, but the W.M.L can't surpass the weapon's Tier.

### Requirements
Every weapon has a different requirement in stats. Most of them are in Strength or Dexterity, with the exception being the Magus Staff, which you need to be a spellcaster to use.

### Sub-Mastery
When you reach level 3 with a weapon, it is most likely you already have access to Tier 3 weapons, which can diversify into specific sub-weapons. Each of these branch of Sub-weapons has a sub-mastery, which grants you different skills.

### Movement Speed
Every weapon reduces your movement speed to a certain degree. If one has movement speed penalties or boosts, they apply these changes to the reduced movement speed. Speed can't go lower than 5ft, unless by a status condition.
Every weapon also has a different dodge distance.

### Special Stats
Some weapons, like the Longsword or the Charge Blade have different stats than the others, such as the Spirit Modifier. These are called the Special Stats, and each weapon (With some exceptions) has one.

### Mechanics
Several weapons introduce a different mechanic to the table.

\columnbreak

## Crafting Weapons
Crafting stronger weapons requires monster bones, and weapons can range from Tier 1 through 10. Most Tier 3 and above weapons also requires monster cores.

##### Decorations

</div>

\pagebreak

# Decorations
<p class='pt'> Decorations are an Artificer's bread and butter. Decorations serve the same purpose as augments, increasing an equipment's power and sometimes adding different effects to it. There are two types of decorations, Simple and Complex, depending on their effects. You can either have an Artificer craft one, or your local magician, for a tax.

## Simple Decorations
Simple Decorations, also called boosters, are decorations with a single purpose that can be crafted out of different ranks of material. X in the table means Rank. Every Decoration requires one Ore, alongside the materials in the recipe column, to be crafted. You can't be affected by multiple decorations of the same type. You can craft decorations of any rank, no matter your Artificer level, but you are limited by the materials you find, and the money you have. Slotting a decoration requires a long rest, and they can be swapped in and out without trouble.

</div>

### Crafting Costs
It costs some extra material to craft decorations, just like with armor and weapons. These extra materials are represented by a GP cost.

| Decoration Tier  | Crafting Price |
|:---:|:-----------:|
|  1  | 5 gp |
|  2  | 15 gp |
|  3  | 50 gp |
|  4  | 100 gp |
|  5  | 1000 gp |

### Ores Used
These are the Ores you're going to use, depending on the rank of the Decoration.

| Decoration Tier  | Ore Used |
|:---:|:-----------:|
|  1  | Iron Ore |
|  2  | Machalite Ore |
|  3  | Dragonite Ore |
|  4  | Mithril Ore |
|  5  | Eterna Ore |

>##### On Monster Decorations
>For decorations detailed on the Monster Manual, you don't need to know their recipes, and crafting costs and materials described on the table above don't apply. By killing the monster, you know enough to craft a Gem associated with it.

\columnbreak

>##### Notes
>
> - **Tier 2X Bone** - You should use tier 2,4,6,8 and 10 bones to craft tier 1,2,3,4 and 5 decorations, respectively.
> - **Attribute Booster** - Can boost stats beyond 20.
> - **Carry Booster** - If using variant encumbrance rules, Carry booster increases your light encumbrance threshold.
