## Blacksmithing 
Blacksmithing is a popular professional interest of two sorts of adventurers: those that want to hit things with heavy metal objects, and those that want a heavy metal object between them and the thing hitting them.

While often relying on the town blacksmith to do your work for you is a fine option, rolling up your sleeves and doing the work yourself can allow you to express your creativity... and may save you a few coins in the process.

Blacksmithing is slow hard work, but has a higher tolerance for failure than most, and is more dependent on knowing your material, as the templates you work from tend to be common across many of them.

### Quick Reference
While each step will go into more depth, the quick reference allows you to at a glance follow the steps to make a blacksmith item in its most basic form:
* Select the **item** that you would like to craft from any of the **Blacksmithing Crafting Tables**.
* Acquire the items listed in the **materials** column for that item.
* Use your **Blacksmithing Tools**  tool to craft the option using the number hours listed in the **Crafting Time** column.
* If the item requires ingots, you will need an anvil and a forge in addition to your tools.
* For **every 2 hours**, make a **crafting roll** of 1d20 + your Strength modifier + your proficiency bonus with a Blacksmithing Tools. 
* **On success**, you mark 2 hours of completed time. Once the completed time is equal to the crafting time, the item is complete.

\columnbreak

* **On failure**, the crafting time is lost and no progress has been made during the 2 hours. If you fail 3 times in a row, the crafting is a failure and all materials are lost.

### Related Tool
Blacksmithing works using **Blacksmithing Tools**. Attempting to craft an blacksmithing item without will often be impossible, though a DM may let you use makeshift tools to make a check with disadvantage. Proficiency blacksmith's tools allows you to add your proficiency to any Blacksmithing crafting roll.

While Blacksmiths can benefit from their skills in small ways such as sharpening their weapons and retrofitting their gear on the go, many of their crafting options require a fully equipped Forge; a fully equipped Forge entails forge, anvil, and blacksmith's tools.

> ##### Magical Forges
> The world of D&D is a fantastical place with many wonders; sometimes you may find locations that have been constructed in such a way as to leverage powerful primal powers in the forging technique - a forge at the heart of volcano or atop an ever frozen glacial, which might imbue items crafted there with special properties.

### Crafting Roll
Putting that together that means that when you would like to smith an item, your crafting roll is as follows:

**Blacksmithing Modifier** = your Blacksmiths' Tools proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier

</div>

\pagebreakNum

##### Success and Failure
For Blacksmithing, after you make the crafting roll and succeed marks your progress on a crafting project. If you succeed, you make 2 hours of progress toward the total crafting item (and have completed one of the required checks for making an item). Checks for Blacksmithing do not need to be immediately consecutive. Failure means that no progress is made during that time. Once an item is started, even if no progress is made, the components reserved for that item can only be recovered via salvage.

If you fail three times in a row, all progress and materials are lost and can no longer be salvaged.

### Blacksmithing Materials

> ##### "Ice/Dark/Fire" Steel Ingots
> The names for Icesteel, Darksteel, and Firesteel are intentionally generic to better map to unique metals that might be present your setting, and may have other names. Adamatine and Mithril tend to be widespread (and consequently open source metals), but other more unique metals may vary based on setting.

### Maintenance & Modifications
While the primary purpose of Blacksmithing is to forge armor and weapons from metal, for an adventurer such events are important milestones that generally will not occur everyday. The following are some tasks that require proficiency with Blacksmith's Tools that provide a more day-to-day utility to the proficiency, giving them minor ways to enhance or adapt their gear.

These are minor crafts can be completed in 2 hours (or as one camp action when using the [Kibbles' Camp Actions](https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-MK0g94rlPq9A0KprEKC) rules) with the expenditure of 5 gold worth of materials. They can be done as part of a long rest, but have limitations the normally crafted items do not (such as a maximum stockpile of minor crafts).

The following are "minor crafting options" for Blacksmiths:

##### Maintain Gear

One of the major perks of having a blacksmith in the field is their ability to keep gear in its best condition, giving you an edge (sometimes literally) in the quality of your gear and weapons. Over the course of two hours, a Blacksmith can maintain a number of weapons or sets of armor equal to their proficiency modifier, granting each weapon or armor maintained gains a special d6 Quality Die.

For a weapon, this can be rolled and added to an attack or damage roll, representing a case where the perfect state of the gear turned a miss into a hit or dealt a bit of extra damage. For a set of armor, the die can be rolled when hit by an attack, and the damage taken from that attack can be reduced by that amount. Rolling this die does not require an action, but once rolled it is spent and cannot be regained until the blacksmith maintains that armor or weapon again.

##### Modify Armor

While the field crafting of armor is often not possible, you can make smaller adjustments on. Over the course of two hours, can turn a set of plate mail into a half plate or a breastplate, refit a set of heavy or medium armor to fit another user that is equal in size or smaller than the original user.

##### Modify Weapon
Every adventure has slightly different preferences in their gear, and your skills allow you make slight modifications to nonmagical weapons made of metal. These modifications take 2 hours, require a heat source, and require you to pass a DC 14 blacksmithing tool's check (on failure, the weapon is damaged and has -1 to it's attack rolls until fixed). You can perform on of the following modifications:

* You can weight a weapon, giving the heavy property to a weapon without the light property.
* You can remove the heavy property from a weapon, reducing its damage dice by d2.
* You can add the light property to a weapon without the heavy property, reducing its damage dice by d2.
* You can silver the weapon (requires 5 silver scraps, doubled for two handed weapons).

> ##### Note: Imperfect Results
> Using this method will make some... bad weapons. That is largely intentional. If you want to make a more functional weapon, you can make it from scratch using the Weapon Template. This represents quick hacks to an existing weapon.

##### Repair Gear

Sometime in the course of adventuring, weapons or armor will become severely damaged, suffering a penalty to it's attack rolls or AC. Over the course of two hours you can repair this damage, though at the discretion of the DM you may need other materials to perform this task if it is heavily damaged. Weapons that are entirely broken (such as a snapped sword) are generally beyond simple repair.

## Custom Weapon Guide
At first glance, it seems that the weapon selection in 5e D&D is quite limited, but with a little knowledge of the system, you can largely expose that template that builds those weapons, and from there, well, the opportunities are limitless! When you would like to craft an template weapon, just follow the steps below:

#### Weapon Creation Template
To create a weapon go through five steps to determine the final damage and properties of the weapon. Adding a d2 means increasing the die by one size (i.e a d6 + d2 = d8) and the converse for subtracting a d2.

##### Step 1: Select one of...

##### Step 2: Select one of...

| Property | Weapon Modifier | Crafting Modifier | Material Modifier | Notes |
| :----:   | :--------------:|:-----------------:| :----------------:|:-----:|
| Light    | **-d2**         | +1 Base DC        | -1 ingot          | --    |
| None     | --              |    --             |                   |       |
| Versatile  | --            |  +1 Base DC       | +1 ingot          |  +d2 when wielded with two hands.   |
| Two-Handed | **+d2**       |  --               | 2x ingots         |

##### Step 3: Select all that apply...

##### Step 4: Set Damage Die/Dice...

You can divide your damage die into smaller dice that equal the same total. For example, a d12 can become 2d6 or be reduced again to 3d4. Each time you do this, the crafting Base DC increases by +1.

##### Step 5: Select Damage Type

##### Bonus Step: Modifiers and Materials
You can additionally add Material Modifiers and Crafting Modifiers to template weapons. These modifiers may add additional properties as listed by the modifier, and their difficult modifier is incorporated into the weapon.

##### Notes:
* Thrown can be ranged weapons instead of melee weapons (example: Dart)
* The DM can waive the restriction on Heavy property requiring Two-Handed property but should be aware it opens the door to GWM + Shield builds.
* Add one short haft for axes, maces or similar.
* Weapons made of metal require a minimum of half an ingot (like a dagger), even if the table would reduce them zero.

| Segmented | +5 | -- | The armor can be donned or doffed in half as much time | 
| Slotted | +2 | This weapon can hold 1 magical gem crafted by an Enchanter | This armor can hold 1 magical gem crafted by Jewelcrafter. | 
| Spiked | +4 | If a weapon deals bludgeoning damage, it now deals piercing damage. | Attackers that strike you with unarmed strikes or natural weapons take 1d4 piercing damage. A creature that ends its turn while grappling you takes 1d4 piercing damage. |
* ^MW^ **Masterwork**: Failing a crafting roll for Masterwork does not cause a failure, but the resulting weapon is only a Masterwork if all crafting roll successes pass the DC of Masterwork. An item is automatically masterwork if every roll qualified for a Masterwork version.
* ^DR^ **Damage Reduction**: While you are wearing heavy armor, bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage that you take from nonmagical weapons is reduced by the value of your Damage Reduction to a minimum of 1.

### Supplimental Modifiers

* Supplimental Materials are doubled for weapons with the two-handed property or armor.
* ^Magic^ **Magic:** Difficulty modifier is reduced to +2 if combined with Mithral or Adamantine material modifiers.

### Additional Items

##### Tower Shield

*Common*

This is a massive unwieldy shield. While carrying it, your movement speed is reduced by 10 feet. At the end of each of your turns, pick a direction . You have half cover from attacks in a cone that direction. Alternatively, you can pick a single target, tracking the movement. You have half cover against attacks from that target (and only that target).

##### Spiked Shield

*Common*

Your shield is considered a martial melee weapon, dealing 1d4 damage on hit.

##### Ring

*Common*

This has no default statistical modifier, but can be enchanted or slotted for additional benefits. May look pretty.

##### Bracers

*Common*

While wearing bracers, as a reaction to being hit by an attack, you can attempt to parry the attack with your bracer, adding gaining +1 AC bonus AC against the triggering attack.

##### Adamantine Bracers

*Uncommon*

Adds +2 AC against the triggering attack. If this causes your AC to be exactly equal to the attack roll and the attacking weapon is made of a common metal, the attacking weapon is destroyed.

##### Thunder Cannon
*Requires attunement*

The principle weapon of a Thundersmith. Deals 1d12 piercing damage, and has the Ammunition (60/180), Two-Handed, Loud, and Stormcharged properties.

* **Stormcharged.** When you use an action, bonus action, or reaction to attack with a Stormcharged Weapon, you can make only one Attack regardless of the number of attacks you can normally make. If you could otherwise make additional attacks with that action, the weapon deals an additional 3d6 lightning or thunder damage per attack that was foregone.
* **Loud:** Your weapon rings with thunder that is audible within 300 feet of you whenever it makes an attack.

### Beyond the System
While blacksmithing allows for a huge amount of custom creation, there will always be new things beyond the system.

The following is some guidelines for how to make something beyond the system.

* Trivial items should be composed of metal scraps, and have a DC in the range of 8-12. These represent things blacksmiths can easily make. Common items should require ingots, and have a DC of 12-18 depending if they are simple or exotic. Uncommon and rarer items should have uncommon and rarer materials matching their rarety.
* Blacksmithing alone can make magical weapons only to the extent that magical components are used.
* If you would like Blacksmithing alone to make fully magical swords, you can largely just take the materials from an equivalent enchanting recipe and add them to materials of the weapon, and than take the higher of the difficulty and crafting time of the projects.

> ##### Work Together and be Reasonable
> The system is, by it's nature, extremely extensible. Great pains have been taken to make things as "balanced" as possible. But this doesn't mean the rules transcend common sense. As a player, tell your DM what you want to make and be open to adjustments to how it would work. As a DM, tell players how their projects will work from the start, and be open to the idea they can make cool things... these crafted items are part of their "loot" and don't need to be "power neutral" as long as they are breaking anything.

### Crafting Magic

#### Forge Fire
 *1st-level transmutation (ritual)*
___
- **Classes:** Artificer, Wizard
- **Casting Time:** 1 minute
- **Range:** 15 feet
- **Components:** V, S
- **Duration:** Concentration, up to 8 hours
___
A medium sized fire within range, such as a campfire, burns with unnatural heat within it's embers for the duration. It gives off intense heat, dealing twice as much damage to any creature that takes damage from it and consumes materials twice as fast as normal. For the duration, it can serve as a forge to smelt nonmagical metals, and counts as a forge for the purposes of blacksmithing.

### Crafting Items

##### Blacksmith's Bellows

*Wonderous Item, Uncommon*

These are a small set of portable bellows. Can be used to cast *forge fire* without expending a spell slot. Once used, they cannot be used again until dawn.
