Enchanting Stand Alone

Crafting Time

All items have a crafting time measured in hours. Crafting is completed in 2 hour chunk. Some branches of crafting must make all their checks consecutively (like Alchemy) while some do not (like Blacksmithing or Enchanting). A crafting roll is made every 2 hours. For each two hours, make a crafting roll.

On success, you mark 2 hours of completed time. Once the completed time is equal to the crafting time, the item is complete. On failure, the crafting time is lost and no progress has been made during the 2 hours.

If you fail three times in a row, the crafting is a failure and all materials are lost.

Crafting During a Rest

During a long rest, you can make up to 2 hours of progress during a crafting project if you do nothing else during the long rest besides craft and sleep. During this time, you have disadvantage on any Wisdom (Perception) checks and a -5 to all Passive Perception checks as you are focused on your craft.

You can make 2 hours of progress on any crafting project by taking this camp action. For most projects, this progress can be banked completing the project 2 hours at a time. For some types of crafting, like alchemy, you cannot make incremental progress, but you can continue for 2 additional hours of crafting before or after a long rest in which you took the camp action "craft" to get 4 hours (for example).

Camp Actions

A recommended system is the Kibbles Camp Actions which can be found here and provide more formalized rules for how to make use of your time during a long rest.

Crafting Rolls

Each profession lists the related ability modifier and tool used to calculate your crafting roll modifier. In many cases, attempting to craft without the applicable tool is impossible. Your DM may allow improvised tools, and in that case the check is made with disadvantage.

Beyond the tool, most branches of crafting require a heat source, and some require more infastructure. These are generally approached logically and are at the discretion of the DM. For an adventure looking for more portable workshop tools, investigate the crafting utility magic and crafting utility items sections - these offer additional avenues for increased portable.

Here is a list of some of the additional requirements by branch:

Blacksmithing can perform minor crafts with a simple heat source, but requires a forge and anvil to make new items.
Alchemy and Cooking almost always requires a heat source.
Tinkering, Jewelcrafting, and Poisoncraft sometimes require a heat source.
Enchanting, Scroll Scribing, Woodworking, Wand Whittling, Poisoncraft, Leatherworking, Engineering, Runecarving rarely require anything besides the tools of the profession.

Expertise

Features that grant tool expertise (the ability to add twice your proficiency bonus to ability checks made with a tool) are calculated into your crafting roll modifier, but do not add to an the calculated DC the effects of that item have.

Temporary Bonuses

A crafting roll is a special type of ability check and you cannot add temporary bonuses to your roll (such as Bardic Inspiration or the spell guidance) as the crafting roll represents the entire time you spend working the item.

You can gain can advantage if another player with proficiency in the related tool helps for the whole crafting time.

Taking 10

When you craft something, double the crafting period (from 2 hours to 4 hours per check) to "take a 10" on the crafting roll, meaning that your crafting checks are 10 + your related ability score + your related tool proficiency. This provides a floor level that you can always succeed on if you choose to take your time.

NPC Crafting

It should always be assumed that when NPCs are crafting, they take this option, and thus craft more slowly but reliably. The slap-dash speed crafting is largely the domain of the players, though at the DM's discretion the players may convince a NPC to craft faster assuming the risk of their materials.

Workdays

When a character is spending all day working, they make 8 hours of progress, and cannot exceed 8 hours working on a crafting project during a day. Players will occasionally want to work longer than 8 hours, but this fails to account for the limitations of mortals - player characters still need to eat, sleep, and will eventually lose their focus and ability to work. This is primarily implemented for balance reasons, but also helps model how much productive time a character can spend - they are not just working 8 hours straight and idling for 8 hours, but rather a model of the natural flow of a day, taking breaks, etc.

A DM can choose to overrule this and allow extreme crafting days in special circumstances, but in almost all cases working over 8 hours on a crafting project would leave a character with one or more levels of Exhaustion.

Enchanting

Enchanting is a hard and expensive profession, but one eagerly pursued by many all the same. The makers of miracles, the craftsmen of wonder, no other profession holds the fascination of adventurers quite like Enchanter, for their domain encompasses the large majority of magical items.

An item need not pass through an enchanter's hands to be magical, indeed many a blacksmith has forged a magical blade with the right materials, but the true wonder of enchantment is to turn the mundane magical. An enchanter can turn even the most base and commonplace item into something wonderful and powerful, and when given the head start of working with an already well crafted item can craft things of legend.

Many enchanters further specialize in subdomains such as Scroll Scribing or Wand Whittling for more specialized good that require more specialized tools, with many even pursuing such things as Jewelery Crafting in order to create the precious items that most easily enchant, but the general field of Enchanting still covers a large swath of the wondrous.

Scrolls are heavily featured as component of nearly all magical items forming the basis for the powerful enchantments that imbue them with their magic - templates of sort, and thus the ability to craft scrolls with Scroll Scribery is often the most desired of the subdomains for an Enchanter.

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 magic item in its most basic form:

Select the magic item that you would like to craft from any of the Magic Item Tables.
Acquire the items listed in the materials column for that item.
Use your Arcana skill to infuse the option using the number hours listed in the Crafting Time column, or during a long rest using the crafting camp action if the crafting times is 2 hours or less.
For every 2 hours, make a crafting roll of 1d20 + your Intelligence modifier + your Arcana proficiency.
On success, you mark 2 hours of completed time. Once the completed time is equal to the crafting time, the magic item is complete. 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.

Materials: Essences & Components

The materials of enchanting are Essences and Components. Essences come in three different types - Arcane, Primal, and Divine, as well as five rarities - common, uncommon, rare, very rare, and legendary. What an Essence is can vary greatly, as they are things of innate magic that is used to power the Enchanter's creations. They could be organs of magical monsters (such as the heart of a dragon which would be a rare primal essence) or they can be synthesized from magical reagents into a magical compound. Components are a broad category of items ranging from the base item you are enchanting to any extraneous bits needed to be added. One unique component that is present in many enchantments is a Spell Scroll of various types of spells that form the basis of the sort of the magic the item has.

Replacing Spell Scrolls

A crafter that is capable of casting magic can replace the spell scroll in an enchantment with the ability to cast that spell, but when doing so they must cast that spell for each crafting check they make on that item. This is an exhausting process, draining their magic far more deeply than normal casting, and confers a level of exhaustion each time this technique is used to replace a crafting check. If a magic item requires multiple scrolls, only one of them can be replaced in this way, though if an additional spell caster that can cast the necessary spell can assist you, they can replace a second scroll, though suffering the same penalty.

Exhausting & Difficult Method

This mechanic is intentionally quite difficult to use - even for casters that are capable of casting the spell, the typically process would be to make the scroll first to formalize their thoughts and process, laying down the patterns and templates for the magic item. It also removes a very costly gate in the process, so should not be easily bypassed.

Crafting Roll

Putting that together that means that when you would like to enchant an item, your crafting roll is as follows:

Enchanting Modifier = your Arcana proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Success and Failure

For Enchanting, 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 Enchanting 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.

Breastplate of the Golden Retriever^DS

Armor (breastplate), very rare (requires attunement)

You have a +1 bonus to AC and advantage on saving throws to resist being frightened while wearing this armor.

This armor has 3 charges, which it regains daily at dawn. As an action, you can expend 1 charge to cast the warding bond spell or 2 charges to cast the faithful hound spell from the armor without requiring material components. When warding bond is cast in this way, a spectral golden retriever appears next to the creature you are bonded with and follows it dutifully. The golden retriever is incorporeal and it can shed bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet upon the bonded creature’s request (no action required).

Bow of Magic Missiles^TAG

Weapon (any bow), very rare (requires attunement by a creature that is proficient with shortbows or longbows)

You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. In addition, it has 5 charges. While holding it, you can expend 1 charge as an action and draw the bowstring, causing two gleaming arrows of magical force to materialize. You immediately fire each arrow at a creature that you can see within 600 feet. You can direct the arrows at one creature or multiple, and each arrow automatically hits its target, striking simultaneously. You can choose to expend additional charges as part of the same action to fire one extra arrow per charge expended. Each arrow deals force damage equal to 1d6 + your proficiency bonus. The bow regains 1d4 + 1 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the bow’s last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the bow retains its +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls but loses all other properties.

Item created by TAG (The Arena Guy) of Spectre Creations

Arcblade^DS

Weapon (longsword), rare (requires attunement)

This item appears to be a longsword hilt. While grasping the hilt, you can use a bonus action to cause a blade of dark lightning to spring into existence, or make the blade disappear. While the blade exists, this magic longsword has the finesse property. If you are proficient with shortswords or longswords, you are proficient with the arcblade.

You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this weapon, which deals lightning damage instead of slashing damage. When you hit a creature with it, you can cause lightning to arc from the target to a different creature of your choice that you can see within 5 feet of it. The second creature takes 1d8 lightning damage.

The arcblade is able to absorb ambient electrical energy to briefly enter a supercharged state. If you take lightning damage while this weapon’s blade is active, you can use your reaction to capture some of that energy and store it for 1 minute. The first time you hit with the arcblade before the end of the duration, the target takes additional lightning damage equal to half of the damage you took. This property can’t be used again until the next dusk.

Scrollscribing

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 scroll in its most basic form:

Select the a spell you know that you would like to craft from spells you are able to cast, or through Alternate Methods (see "Magic Formula").
Acquire the items listed in the materials column for a scroll of that level and type.
Use your Calligraphy Tools to write the scroll using the number hours listed in the Crafting Time column, or during a long rest using the crafting camp action if the crafting times is 2 hours or less.
For every 2 hours, make a crafting roll of 1d20 + your Intelligence modifier + your proficiency with Calligraphy Tools.
On success, you mark 2 hours of completed time. Once the completed time is equal to the crafting time, the magic item is complete. 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.

Materials: Ink & Parchment

The Materials for Scrollcrafting are Ink and Parchment. Ink and Parchment used in scrolls is typically purchased, and below are the table prices. Some types of rare parchment may be processed from rare alchemical ingredients by an alchemist or from the hides of magical creatures by a leatherworker. If they are found as part of treasure, they are calculated as any other precious non-currency treasure would be calculated.

The ink used to create scrolls must be a special formulation that allows it to contain the magical essence behind the glyphs, script, runes, and words that make up a magical scroll. This ink is created by alchemist, but can be purchased at the below rates:

Component	Price
Common Magical Ink	15 gp
Common Parchment	1 sp
Uncommon Magical Ink	40 gp
Uncommon Parchment	40 gp
Rare Magical Ink	200 gp
Rare Parchment	200 gp
Very Rare Magical Ink	2,000 gp
Very Rare Parchment	2,000 gp
Legendary Magical Ink	5,000 gp
Legendary Parchment	5,000 gp

Crafting Roll

Putting that together that means that when you would like to enchant an item, your crafting roll is as follows:

Scrollcrafting Modifier = your Calligrapher's Tools proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier.

Crafting Without Essence

A crafter that is capable of casting magic can replace the essence when crafting a spell scroll with the ability to cast that spell, but when doing so they must cast that spell for each crafting check they make on that item. This is an exhausting process, draining their magic far more deeply than normal casting, and confers a level of exhaustion for each crafting check made this way.

A Difficult Process

This is intentionally a difficult process, as stockpiling spell scrolls is something that should be challenging, otherwise magic can end up trivializing many encounters, and this method of crafting removes a large potential cost barrier.

Magical Formula

To craft a spell scroll, you must know the Magic Formula of the spell you want to make a Spell Scroll of. The easiest way to do this is to be able to cast the spell. You always know the Magic Formula of a spell you know how to cast. Otherwise, you need to have deep knowledge of the spell to be able to make a scroll of it. The following are some ways you can gain that knowledge:

Have it in your spellbook as a Wizard.
Have it in your spellmanual as an Infusionsmith Artificer.
Have it your ritual book as a ritual caster.
Have a spell scroll of it (DC +2)
Study its magical formula and record it. To learn a spell in this way requires proficiency in arcana and 1 day (8 hours per day) of study per level of the spell, as well as access to a teacher or book that records the spell. Once learned, you can record it in a Magical Formula book and can subsequently make scrolls of it.

Scroll Essence Type

The type of Essence is determined by the spell list the spell comes from; if it is on multiple spell lists, it is determined by how you have access to the spell. If you have access to the spell via multiple lists or the written form of the spell, you can pick which Essence to use for spells that have multiple options.

Essence Type	Spell List
Arcane	Artificer, Bard, Occultist, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
Divine	Cleric, Occultist, Paladin
Primal	Druid, Occultist, Ranger
Psionic	Monk, Psion

Types of Materials

Reagents

Reagents are huge range of things; most often they are plants that contain some magical essence, but almost as frequently they are harvested from various magically inclined monsters. The exact source of a reagent usually does not matter beyond defining its type, as the part of the reagent used is the fragment of magic contained within that is distilled out.

Reagents are the There are many different ways to make a potion. Consequently, the materials are sorted into categories. These categories include curative, reactive, and poisonous. These each come in the standard material rarities: common, uncommon, rare, very rare, and legendary.

Reagents cannot be salvaged once they have been combined into another form (such as potions, essences, or ink).

Interchangeable Reagents

All curative, reactive, and poisonous ingredients are interchangeable. This is intentional to drastically simplify the crafting process and tracking thereof. Individual names are included only to deepen the immersion of the finding and buying ingredients, and can be treated as interchangeable by their label if preferred.

Magical Ink

While ink has many uses, crafting is mostly concerned with magical ink which has the power to hold the arcane words of scrolls. This is synthesized by alchemists from the magical properties of reagents - as it is concerned with extracting their magical properties, the exact nature of the reagents used do not effect the final ink beyond its potency.

Magical ink is not typically found or harvested on its own, though it may be found as loot, and in some instances a DM could rule that some blood collected from a fiend, celestial or dragon could be counted as such. It is generally created from reagents or purchased from alchemists that create it from reagents.

Magical Ink cannot be salvaged once they have been combined into another form (such as potions, essences, or ink).

Essences

While reagents are substances that contain a glimmer of magical power that can be harnessed through refinement, Essences are more purified forms of magical power.

These come in three types: Arcane, Divine and Primal as well as in the five normal rarities (common, uncommon, rare, very rare, and legendary). These essences are the pure stuff of magic that makes things work.

You can get these by rendering down magical reagents, salvaging magic items, harvesting them from magical monsters, or through the hard work of spell casters. Or you can find them as loot from people that have already done one of those harder steps. The rules for rendering them down from materials are contained within each branch of crafting, while the rules for creating them yourself are under Enchanting, as it is their domain and skill set needed to do so.

While all branches occasionally use essences when extra magical power is needed, they are the primary material of Enchanters, and their pricing can be found in that section.

Essences can be found as loot during the courses of your adventures, but can also be harvested (from monsters), salvaged (from magical equipment), synthesized (from reagents), or created from the raw power of a spell caster, though the method is long and arduous.

Essences are flexible in their exact nature. There are many paths to each desired outcome, and this flexibility is represented in Essences. While the traditional way to make a Belt of Hill Giant Strength may call for a Hill Giant heart as its essence, and enchanting substituted a dragon heart as their primal essences may make a Belt of Dragon Strength that just has the same statistical effect.

Salvaging Essences

You also may be able to salvage magical essence from unwanted or broken magical items, though such a reclamation process can be difficult, and rarely results in more than a fraction of the essence infused into the original item. An item returns one essence equal to its rarity when harvested. The process takes 2 hours to complete, and does not work if the item is currently attuned to any creature. An essence can only be salvaged from permanent magic items; a permanent magic item is one that recharges or does not have a limitation on its charges or uses. A magic item with charges or uses can only be salvaged while it is at full charges or uses.

The item becomes nonmagical after the essence is salvaged from it. If it required magic to function or exist, it is destroyed.

Synthesizing Essences

In addition to harvesting essences from magical monsters fully intact, a more approachable and incremental way is to combine several reagents to get an essence. You have to combine three reagents of the same rarity to gain one essence of that rarity. You can combine essences in the following ways:

Essence	Component Reagents
Arcane	1 curative, 1 poisonous, 1 reactive
Primal	3 reactive
Divine	2 curative, 1 reactive

This process takes 4 hours, and requires alchemy supplies and a heat source.

Making Essences

Another potential source of an Essence is being created by a spellcaster. This process is long and arduous, and typically only suited to downtime. A creature with the spell casting feature can create 1 essence during 1 workweek (5 days, 8 hours a day); this process cannot be completed faster and for the duration they are considered to have spent all of their spell slots.

At 1st level or higher can make a common essence in this way, a caster 5th level or higher can make an uncommon essence this way, a caster at 11th level can make a rare essence in this way, and a caster at 17th level or higher can make a very rare essence this way. Legendary essences require special rituals requiring more casters and take far longer - they are exceedingly hard to make.

The type of essence produced depends on the source of the spell casting levels as per the table below:

Caster	Essence Type
Inventor^K	Arcane
Bard	Arcane
Cleric	Divine
Druid	Primal
Monk	Psionic
Occultist^K	Any*
Paladin	Divine
Psion^K	Psionic
Ranger	Primal
Sorcerer	Arcane
Warlock	Varies*
Sorcerer	Varies*
Wizard	Arcane

Special Cases Explained

Sorcerers produce a type based on their subclass; Dragon or Wild makes Primal, Divine Soul makes Divine, and Shadow makes Arcane.

Warlocks likewise produce a type based on their subclass; Archfey makes Primal, Celestial makes Divine, and all others make Arcane.

Occultist can produce any type, but takes 1.5x as long to produce an Essence in this manner. A DM can rule based on the special circumstances of a character their power source may be different than normal. This can stand in for Shaman, Witch, or Oracle classes if you use those instead of Occultist.

Inventor can stand in for any half-arcane caster of a similar theme.

A 1/2 or 1/3 caster would generate essences at 1/3 or 1/2 their character level.

Harvesting & Looting

Harvesting and looting are two paths to the same place, but generally depend on what kind of foe the enemy has vanquished and is not collecting the stuff of. Typically humanoid creatures that carry stuff are candidates for the Individual Treasure tables, awhile Aberrations, Beasts, Dragons, Monstrosities, and Plants are harvesting candidates.

If you don't normally provide loot equivalent to default treasure tables, you don't need to start providing loot equivalient to them using these new tables, simple apply these tables as frequently as it makes sense for your game.

Remember that you can fully mix and match as it makes sense - you can replace coinage with gems or art pieces, you can replace crafting items that wouldn't make sense with coinage, gems, or art pieces, etc. The tables are merely a guide and convenience for what sort of range of materials should come from what sort of creature.

Harvesting

The Harvesting tables replace the Individual Treasure for Aberration, Beast, Dragon, Monstrosity, and Plant type creatures.

Remnants

Remnants optional replace the Individual Treasure table for creatures that leave behind no body on death, like Elementals, Celestials, or Fiends (ones that leave behind a body can use the Harvesting table).

Loot

The Loot tables optionally replace the Individual Treasure for Humanoid type creatures - you can use this table in all cases or in some cases.

Recommendation

I would recommend using the table for all humanoid enemies, but using the equivalent gold value for roughly half of enemies to keep gold flowing into the PCs pockets while also providing abundant crafting supplies.

Hoards

Rather than replacing the hoard tables, simple use the default hoard table and replace an amount of coins, gems, and art pieces with crafting materials. This ensures that players are still getting the sort of loot the expect, but also fills in new materials into things that would often fill little role beside being converted to coinage at a later date.

Basic Harvesting

Beasts, Dragons, and Monstrosities can be harvested using Wisdom (Survival) for meat and hides. As a DMs discretion, a Plant type creature can be harvested for food using the same DC and amount, but providing common fresh ingredients instead of meat. Basic Harvesting takes 10 minutes. At your DMs discretion, it may take longer for larger creatures.

Exotic Creature Harvesting

Applicable Targets: Aberration, Constructs, Dragons, Monstrosities, Plants, Some Undead

A random roll is performed to judge what can be harvested from the monster. For Dragons and Monstrousities, a Wisdom (Medicine) check is required to harvest the material without destroying it, for Constructs, an Intelligence (Arcana) check is required, and for Plants an Intelligence (Nature) check is required. Exotic Harvesting takes 10 minutes. At your DMs discretion, it may take longer for larger creatures.

If a beast is sufficiently magical, poisonous, or vemous, a DM can opt to use the Dragon & Monstrosity table for exotic harvesting, but this should be rare - even a poisonous beast is usually too mundane for the magical properties of harvested materials, and a beast should always be rolled on the 0-4 CR table regardess of its CR.

At a DMs discretion, some Undead may be harvested as well if there is something that would make sense for them provide in this manner, in which case the would use an Intelligence (Arcana) check. Undead are less likely to provide anything of use, simply having a rare chance of providing arcane essences, though some would consider the use of these essences evil.

Double Harvesting

If a monster is applicable for both Basic Harvesting and Exotic Harvesting, you can perform both, but the second check rolled has disadvantage on the skill check to successfully gather the materials.

Exotic Remnants

Applicable Targets: Celestials, Elementals, Fiends, Some Undead

Some creatures typically do not leave behind corpses. While these most often disappear without a trace, sometimes they will leave behind a fragment of the magical forces that powered them as a remnant, in the form of a reagent or essence. These are less likely to result in a crafting item, but don't require any check to gather it successfully. Gathering remnants is simple to do, and requires only 1 minute.

Applying Material Tables

As a DM, never feel compelled to roll on a table if you feel it makes sense to do something else. The tables provide a baseline, but if you feel that it makes sense of a given monster to leave behind a given material, simply do so, requiring the check that seems most appropriate (using the tables as a guide if you wish).
