Introduction
Why do you need a Crafting?
Some people may wonder - why do you need a crafting
system? Isn't that what loot is for? The truth is, in some
games, that's true. Not every adventuring is going to want to
pursue crafting. But with a crafting system, not only can you
craft what you need without finding it a dragon hoard, what
you find in that dragon hoard can be so much more.
In a game with a robust crafting system, there is no junk,
there is just more opportunities and fresh possibilities. A +1
shortsword that no one can use could be the valuable basis of
a new spear. Gems, gold, relics, and recyclables... all valid
entry points for the crafters creativity.
So... why do you need crafting? You don't. But you should
probably want it.
Who can craft?
Anyone! Who can succeed in making something useful?
Perhaps a bit of a different story. Crafting is not inherently
tied to class, though in some cases some classes may give
benefits to it (like Artificer); crafting may come from your
background in the form of a tool proficiency, or it may be
something you learn during your adventures following the old
adage of necessity being the mother of invention.
Crafting is mostly about the time, effort, knowledge and
materials. As such, most of crafting is knowing the recipe and
having the time and materials needed... but a skilled
craftsman works quicker and is more successful, and in this
business practice makes perfect, so there are various
progression modifiers that apply. Your DM can determine if
your background would merit starting your adventure with
any, otherwise guidelines for how to gain them are included.
What can I craft?
Anything! But this guide will is made by a mortal, and is thus
limited in scope. This guide will provide the principles of
crafting for many fields - from alchemy to engineering to
woodworking. The basis of how crafting works is similar
between each field, but the recipes, material, and most
important results will be radically different... after all, a
healing potion, a catapult, and a magic sword are all things
you can craft, but each the process and result are quite varied.
The goal of this document is teach you how to get started,
and provides the basics that will get you a long way into your
adventure, but not make a complete codex of everything that
could potentially be crafted. When you hit something that
doesn't appear in this document, just reference the closest
items and make a bit of a leap to what extra steps might be
needed to realize your vision into your D&D world!

Mechanics
While each branch of the crafting system will have certain
mechanics, a few things are true for all crafting - they are
inherent to the nature of during stuff into other stuff.
The Process
Crafting will always follow a few basic steps: Gather
materials, learn how to make what you want to make, and
then make it. Each step of the process has different
challenges, and can usually be solved in multiple ways.
Materials
Without materials, there is nothing to craft from. Crafting
does not make things from thin air, it pulls more useful things
from less useful things. Gathering the materials will be
essential first step in any job. Materials are generally found in
three ways.
Loot: Nothing is useless when you have a party of crafters.
One of the main sources of materials will be the things you
find - nothing is useless when you have an expert craftsman in
the party.
Gathered: How something is gathered varies on the
profession - in many cases, it can only be gathered when the
opportunity arises. Dragon scales, for example, are a lot
easier to gather when there is a dead dragon nearby. Be it
harvesting rare herbs, monster parts, or minerals, gathering is
an opportunity you won't want to pass up.
Purchased: Rarely will everything you need to craft what you
want fall into you hands without the assistance of the oldest
and most powerful tool of any craftsman - money. When you
don't have what you need, frequently you can buy it. For some
professions, there will be a lot more than can be purchased,
while others will rely more on the other routes.
Selling and Buying Materials
In general, the buying price of a material is it's listed
value, and its selling price is usually half of that to
an interested property.
Between negotiation, market fluctuation, and DM
moods, you may get better or worse prices. Note
that many materials are simply junk to a party that
does not have a use for them, and will only sell to
interested parties that can use or resell them.
Threatening to burn down a merchants shop
because they will not offer you the listed price may
result in an intimidation check, but does not change
market realities and is typically not beneficial to
your reputation.
One may notice that these three sources of materials rather
closely match the three pillars of gameplay - Purchasing
falling into Social interactions, Gathering falling into
Exploration, and Loot falling into Combat. This means that
wherever you go and whatever you do, you can take your
crafting system with you.
3
 Recipes
Materials are just stuff without a recipe. Coming in the form
of techniques, blueprints, or any one of a hundred different
forms of knowledge, the an essential step of making anything
is know how.
A recipe alone does not inherently grant success - a recipe
is just a path that the craftsman can walk, but final product
will come down to their skills, materials, and a little luck.
Even so, recipes are not created equal. The technique of
swordcraft left behind by a grand master of the craft can
contain knowledge that will inherently boost the skills of
anyone following it's techniques.
Like materials, recipes can come from three sources.
Found: The world you adventure in is often vast and dotted
with the legacies of those that have come before. Frequently
ancient techniques and secrets can be uncovered during your
adventurers, hoarded by dragons (...or maybe kobolds earlier
in your adventures!).
Purchased: As with most things, money can bridge many
gaps and provide many answers. Either convincing a
craftsman to teach you their technique or buying a potion
formula from the alchemists guild, most people in the world
will understand that they stand to more to gain by selling fish
than by teaching their customers how to fish, so these will
won't come cheap, but can often by attained by establishing
good relations... or just dropping a lot of coin.
How much do Recipes cost?
How much a recipe costs, or even if it's available,
has a lot of factors behind it and is ultimately up to
the DM, but in general be fairly expensive (to
encourage innovation) but not outrageous
compared to what they make. Roughly 10 times the
cost of the materials to make the item.
Some Examples:
Healing Potion Recipe: 200 gold.
Invented!: While many craftsmen and craftswoman tread in
the footsteps of others, those at the cutting edge are those that
innovate and invent, stepping beyond what is known (to them).
More difficult, a recipe is created through trial and effort, and
will frequently leave many broken prototypes as proof of the
effort.
To invent a recipe, you make an innovation check. This
takes 1 hour, and once attempted cannot be attempted again
until you complete a long rest. You can select materials to
expend on the innovation check.
If you roll half the innovation difficult or more and did not
have the correct materials, you learn the materials needed
for the recipe (this does not require any materials to be
expended).
If you roll half the innovation difficult or more of the recipe
and had the correct ingredients, you learn the innovation
difficulty of the recipe and materials needed for the recipe.
4
https://www.patreon.com/KibblesTasty
If you roll the innovation difficult with all the required
ingredients spent toward the check, you learn the recipe,
and this counts as the first successful crafting roll toward
crafting the product of that recipe.
On failure, all materials put toward the check are lost. On
success, the recipe is learned, and the materials can be rolled
over toward crafting the item; the first crafting check for the
item automatically succeeds on that crafting attempt.
An innovation roll is as follows:
Recipe Innovation Roll = d20 + your relevant crafting Skill +
your Wisdom or Intelligence modifier (your choice).
However a player has acquired their recipes, they are
encouraged to record their recipes as they would record the
spells they know.
Losing Your Recipes:
Recipes are usually going to be recorded as physical
documents, and consequently must be safeguarded.
If a set of Recipes are lost, it will be up to the DM
to determine how many they might remember by
heart.
The following is my recommendation: half their
recipes + the intelligence modifier are known by
heart. Recipes remembered are chosen in the order
of Invented Recipes > Most Crafted Recipe > Most
Recently Crafted Recipe, and then ordered by which
have been used the most to the least.
A Feat such as Keen Mind may negate any recipes
lost.
Crafting
Materials are just stuff and Recipes are just plans. With both
of them, however, you can craft anything. Crafting turns your
materials into items by way of recipes. While anyone with the
material and recipe could attempt to craft, skill plays an
important part.
Tools
The first thing you will need is the actual tools. Most branches
of crafting has a tool associated with them. While you can try
to improvise without those tools, any check made with
improvised tools will be made with stacking disadvantage,
meaning it rolls an additional die and takes the lower of the
rolled dice, even if you already had disadvantage on the roll,
and may be impossible if the improvised tools are deemed
insufficient by the DM. For crafting that requires a skill
instead of a tool, the check is always made at stacking
disadvantage without proficiency in that skill.
Proficiency
While having the tool is an important step, proficiency with
the tool is very helpful. With proficiency in the tool, you add
your proficiency to crafting checks. For branches of crafting
the directly use a skill, proficiency with that skill allows you to
add your proficiency to crafting checks. For many simple
items, merely have proficiency will ensure that failure to craft
the desired item is all but impossible.
 Some projects require a single crafting roll, while more Impo
Crafting Time complicated projects can require many rolls.
To attempt to craft an item, you must spend the crafting time If
listed for that item. You spend the crafting time, and make cr
number of checks equal to the number of checks required to If
make the item; if you pass all the checks, the item is ro
completed. If you fail a check, record your progress and stop Th
making checks. To attempt complete the item, you must spend but fo
the crafting time of item again, but the amount of checks
required is reduced by the number of previously completed Craf
checks. Note items have critical failure thresholds that, when
exceeded in the total crafting process, result in the loss of the
time and materials spent on crafting that item.
For example, if a recipe requires 1 hour and three checks,
you would spend 1 hour and roll crafting checks until you W
pass three times or fail once. If you failed on the second check M
but did not meet the critical failure condition, you could d
continue by spending another hour, making checks until you ra
pass twice (as you have already passed once) or fail again, in
repeating the process. e

The Crafting Roll some
All of this boils down to the crafting roll. When you want to AC
make progress on an item, you will make a crafting roll. A not a
crafting roll can only be made if you have all the materials and check
the recipe to an item (your DM may allow you to start a and th
complicated project with incomplete materials if appropriate).

 Summary
While there are a lot of steps, it is all rather straightforward.
To summary and use as a reference during your crafting, here
are is the simple flowchart of how to craft something:
Tell the DM what you would like to craft.
The DM will consult the crafting table to see what you
need (or follow the guidelines from coming up with new
items, as needed).
(Optional) Find or innovate a recipe for something you
want to make.
Gather the materials required.
Spend the crafting time of the recipe and making crafting
rolls (d20 + your proficiency + your crafting skill) until you
accumulate enough successes to be done, or encounter a
failure.
If you encounter a failure, you can spend the crafting time
again to continue crafting.
If you encounter critical failures up to the critical failure
threashold of the item, the time and materials spent so far
are lost.

Things to Keep Track of

As you may track your spells known, there are some
things you should track regarding your crafting
ability.
Your tool proficiencies.
Your crafting skill in a branch of crafting (new).
The recipes you know (new).
Your inprogress items, and the checks made on
them (pass, fail, critical failure); you can track
them as '✓'(pass), '-'(fail) and 'x' (critical failure)

Progression and Progress

Each branch of crafting will have a different way to gain skill
in that field, typically involving a variety of options for gaining
each level of a skill. These are not intended to be something
gained easily or quickly, and scale on a quite exponential
scale. Achieving skill 1 or 2 is fairly easy for adventurers,
while skill 3 is as high as most will ever go. 4 and 5 are
possible, but would be typically represent nearly legendary
skill, and should rarely be awarded.
Consider level 4 or 5 an achievement more in line with level
15 or level 20 respectively, and anything beyond that falling
into epic levels of myth.
In general, an adventurer should track the metrics that will
level up their crafting skill, but such a thing should rarely be
the intent of their actions, but a natural result of using it for an
extended period of time. Typically skill beyond 1 and 2 cannot
be gained by merely making things repeatedly. Keep in mind
the system is very compressed (due to using a d6) and such a
+1 to the crafting roll holds large significance (and should
typically not be given on magic items or otherwise lightly
distributed).

Crafting Branches
Alchemy
Alchemy is a crafting art that almost all adventures have some
degree of interest in the results of. The source of the ever in
demand Healing Potions, it is a versatile trade that fuels
(sometimes quite literally) the adventuring life.
It doesn't take many experiences with the powers of potions
for an adventure to consider if they can get away with
simmering a healing potion next to the stew over that night's
cooking fire... of course it's easier said than done for the result
of such things to come away not poisonous.
Any adventurer that comes back from a bit of down time
with a brace of freshly brewed potions will quickly become
their peers favorite friend... assuming their potions actually
work.
Alchemy tends to craft more quickly than many branches of
crafting, but also fails easily, putting your materials at high
risk when attempting difficult formula.
Related Tool
Alchemy works using Alchemy Supplies. Attempting to craft
a potion without these will almost always be made with
disadvantage, and proficiency with these allows you to add
your proficiency to any alchemy crafting roll.
Materials: Ingredients
The materials of alchemy are ingredients, these come
primarily in the form of rare plants and herbs, from magical to
mundane, but can include reagents, minerals, and even
monster parts.
As there are many different ways to make a potion,
ingredients sorted into categories. These categories include
curative, reactive, poisonous, and exotic. These each come in
the standard material rarities: common, uncommon, rare, very
rare, and legendary.
A potion may require "3 uncommon curative ingredients", in
which case any three ingredients can be used so long as the
are uncommon and curative.
Interchangeable Materials
Note that with the exception of exotic ingrediants,
all curative, reactive, and poisonous ingredients are
interchangeable. This is intentional to drastically
simplify the crafting process and tracking there of.
Individual names are included only to deep the
immersion of the finding and buying ingredients,
and can be treated as interchangeable by their label
if preferred.
Harvesting Materials
People like to hear what's in their healing potions about as
much as the like to hear what's in the sausage, and sometimes
that's for good reason.
https://www.patreon.com/KibblesTasty
The principle of potion making it draw the latent magical
properties out of materials and distil them into a potent
concotion (which is why the materials tend to be rather
interchangable to an experienced alchemist), but the raw
source can vary quite a lot.
There are two primary methods of acquisition of your
magical components out in the wild: harvesting herbs, plants,
and substances from the wilderness with an Herbalism kit, or
harvasting magical monster parts from, well, monsters, using
a medicine check.
Foraging Materials
Many of the magical ingredients to alchemy can simply be
found grothing in the wild, and can be gathered by someone
that knows what to look for and spends the time doing just
that. When traveling at a slow pace through wilderness for 8
hours or more (i.e. not urban land or farmland) you can make
a gathering check with disadvantage. If you dedicate 8 hours
to gathering without traveling, you can make two checks
(without disadvantage).
If you have a Herbalism Kit and proficiency with it, you can
add your proficiency modifier to the roll.
Roll Gathered Ingredients
1-5 1 common
5-10 2 common
10-15 1 common, 1 uncommon
15-20 2 uncommon
20-25 1 uncommon, 1 rare
25+ 1 rare, 1 very rare
If more than one ingredient is available for the terrain type
you are traveling, roll a d4 for each ingredient found. Each 1 is
a curative ingredient found, each 2 is a reactive ingredients
found, each 3 is a poisonous ingredient found, and each 4 is an
exotic ingredients found.
Variant: Locale Based Gathering
On the material lists, each locale has specifically
named ingredients. Rather than randomly roll for
the type, the DM can opt to use the ingredients
from that table.

Gathering Seems Hard...

It is, and that is absolutely intentional. While healing
potions may grow on trees, the process of
converting time to healing potions has to be
considerably slower than the process of converting
gold or looted materials into potions, as it's, well,
free! Think of it as less the way to get materials and
more a free opportunity to supplement your
supplies in some cases.

Recipe: Formula
The recipes of Alchemy are known as formula, and are
typically in written form, collected in a book by the Alchemist.
Shelf Life & Expired Potions
A unique attribute to alchemy, potions once crafted have a
shelf life of 1 year before coming expired. This shelf life is
shortened to 1 month if the potion contains any reactive
ingredient.
If an expired potion is used or consumed within double its
shelf life, roll a d4. On a 1, you become poisoned for 1 minute.
On a 2 or 3, the potion will work with reduced effect; it's
duration will be halved if it had a duration, and damage or
healing it dealt with by halved. On a 4, it works as expected.

Increasing Alchemy Skill
Your Alchemy skill cannot be higher than the higher of your
Intelligence or Wisdom modifier. You can gain Alchemy skill
the following ways.
You can get Alchemy Skill 1 by...
Completing 20 potions, or..
being taught for one week by someone with Alchemy skill 3
or higher.
You can get Alchemy Skill 2 by...
Completing 50 rare or rarer potions after achieving
Alchemy Skill 1, or...
Inventing 10 potion recipes.
You can get Alchemy skill 3 by...
Inventing 10 rare or rarer potion recipes, or...
Completing 10 legendary potions, or...
Inventing a legendary potion recipe.
Other methods may exist at your DMs discretion. Getting
Alchemy skill of 4 or higher would make you a peerless
Alchemist, and can only be accomplished at the DMs
discretion.
Exotic Ingredients & Potions
While standard potions are made from curative, reactive, or
poisonous ingredients, exotic ingredients have specialized
effects. When making a potion from these ingredients, the
potions effect is a combination of the effect of the exotic
ingredients added.
An Exotic Potion (potion brewed entirely from exotic
ingredients) does not need a recipe and has a crafting time of
1 hour, and a difficult of the difficulty of all the exotic
ingredients used added together, with 1 check needed per
exotic ingredient added.
An exotic ingredients can be combined with a standard
potion by adding the DC of the standard potion (including the
critical failure condition) to the combined difficulty of the
exotic ingredients. This can result in very powerful potions,
but will frequently result in unattainable high difficulty to
make it work, as adding random new components to potions
typically wrecks the effect.

Putting it Together: Alchemy
Let's walk through an example. Caius the level 5 Wizard has
seen a few too many allies die horribly, and wants to try his
hand at making a healing potion. What does he do?
Fortunately he has proficiency in Alchemy Tools, but he has
no recipe or materials. He can pretty sure that he needs some
curative ingredients and a glass vial. He goes to the forest and
spends a day gathering. Spending the whole day, he can make
two gathering checks. He rolls a 5 and 14, resulting in three
uncommon ingredients. Rolling for type, he gets a 1, 1, 3,
resulting in 2 curative ingredients and 1 poisonous ingredient.
Good enough!
He will now try to invent a healing potion recipe putting up
his two curative ingredients... daring! He makes an innovation
roll! He rolls a d20 and gets a 10, and adds his intelligence for
a 15. Not good enough, unfortunately... turns out that's pretty
hard! He's failed, but as he rolled more than half the DC, he
learns he'd need to get a 18 or higher on his check to learn the
recipe!
That seems hard! He goes an alchemist, and does some
sweet talking. He's not very good at it, so buys everything at
market price. 15 gold per curative ingredient, and 500 gold for
the recipe. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Now it's time to get down business. He makes spends an
hour to make a crafting check! Spending 2 curative ingredients
and a empty glass vial... He has rolls a d6, and gets a 3. He has
proficiency in Alchemy Tools, and a +3 proficiency. He would
add his skill here too... but he doesn't have any yet,
unfortunately! That means he has a crafting roll of 6.
Checking the recipe... the difficult is 5 or more, with only
one check! He's done it! He's crafted a healing potion, and it
only cost him... well, about 561 gold. But now he can go into
his future adventures armed with this knowledge and craft
many more healing potions!
A few weeks later, he's amertizing his expenses by crafting
some more healing potions and has acquired an Alchemy Skill of
1 and look at that, he's rolled a 6 on crafting roll! With his +3
from proficiency in alchemy tools and +1 from his alchemy
skill, that's a critical success! Not only does he get a greater
healing potion he can make a free innovation check to learn
greater healing potion recipe.
He rolls his d20 and gets... 20! Adding his +5 Intelligence,
that's a 25! Despite his lack of skill, he's made a breakthrough,
and learns the recipe, just like that!
Looks like making those is a bit harder though... does he
want to risk his curative ingredients when one critical failure
means losing them? Maybe he'll wait till he has the skills to
make success a bit more likely!

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 their work
for them 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 dependant on knowing your
material, as the templates you work from tend to be common
across many of them.
Related Tool
Blacksmithing works using Blacksmiths' Tools. Attempting
to craft a potion without these will almost always be made
with disadvantage, and proficiency with these allows you to
add your proficiency to any Blacksmithing crafting roll.
Moreover, blacskmithing requires the use of a forge in all
cases, though your DM may allow you to improvise for small
items. This typically means that in most cases, Blacksmithing
is not a portable crafting skill, and relegated to when make a
stop by town.
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.
Materials: Ingots & Components
The materials of Blacksmith are typically ingots, blocks of
metal of different types that can be forged into many things; in
addition to ingots, there are components, such as hafts for
polearms and axes, padding for armor, and exotic (usually
magical) components that may imbue the crafted item with
special properties.
Gathering Materials
Ingots can be found unprocessed, purchased from
merchants, or processed from ore. Typically the refinement
process of ore falls out of the scope of most adventurers, but
with the property facility can be accomplished. You can
process 10 pounds of ore into single 1 lb. ingot in a process
taking 8 hours.
Recipe: Templates & Techniques
The recipes of Blacksmithing come in two flavors: templates
for the designs of the items the want to craft (for example, a
longsword) and techniques for the type of metal they are
working with (for example, iron), and are typically in written
form, collected in a book by the Blacksmith.
https://www.patreon.com/KibblesTasty
Templates
A template covers a type of weapon or armor; for example, a
longsword. Once you know the template for something, you
know the template for it regardless of what you make it from
or what other properties you might add. Without the template
for a type of object, and crafting roll made to make it is made
with disadvantage.
Templates can be innovated or taught, and you
automatically learn a template once you've crafted something
using it three times.
Techniques
Techniques are a bit more complicated, and fall into two
cateogories. Techniques for working with metal, which, once
known, apply to all instances of working with the metal
regardless of what you are working on. All base materials two
difficulties associated with them: the base difficulty that is
applied if you know the technique, and a higher penalty
difficult applied if you don't know the technique. This difficult
is added to the default difficult (DC) of the crafting roll of a
template.
There are additional optional techniques that can be
applied to add modifiers to a weapon that it would not
normally have. These are optional and increase the difficult of
the craft, but make it a special item with unique nonstandard
properties. These techniques cannot be applied without
knowing them. They must be taught, learned, or innovated
before they can be used, and even once known add difficulty to
the craft (there is no penalty modifier for these, because they
cannot be used without having the technique known)
Forges
Blacksmithing tends to require a proper forge to get any work
done, and this falls outside of the realm of even having to lug
blacksmith
Flawless Success
Unlike some crafting disciplines (like Alchemy), Flawless
Success in Blacksmithing merely means that further checks
are not required, and the crafting succeeds. It does not add
any special modifiers, but due to the many-check nature of
blacksmithing, it can save you some trouble.
21
 Custom Weapons
Part of the point of being a blacksmith is break free of the
shackles of conformity and be able to create whatever you
want. This still has to contend with balance of the game, but
fortunately weapons in D&D have a template which can be
used to create new weapons while still falling into the
guidelines of what a D&D weapon should be. Consult the
Weapon Building Guide in Appendix B to create new
weapons.
Material Cost
When crafting something created from the Guide:
Base material is 1 ingot.
Add +2 ingot if it is two handed.
Add +3 ingots if it is heavy.
Add a short haft if is a hafted weapon, or a long haft if it
has the reach property.
Difficulty:
When crafting something created from the Guide:
Base difficult is 4.
Add +1 for it being a custom weapon.
Add +1 if it is martial.
It's innovation difficulty is 25 for the Template.
Time & Checks
Base crafting time is 2 hours & 2 checks.
Add 1 hour for martial.
Add 1 hour for two-handed.
Number of checks equals number of hours of crafting time.
Increasing Blacksmithing Skill
Your Blacksmithing skill cannot be higher than 1 + (Strength
+ [Intelligence or Wisdom(which is higher)]) modifier divided
by two (rounded down). You can gain Blacksmithing skill the
following ways.
You can get Blacksmithing Skill 1 by...
Learning 10 templates, or..
Learning a rare metallurgy technique...
Getting 5 critical success crafting rolls...
being taught for one week by someone with Blacksmithing
skill 3 or higher.
You can get Blacksmithing Skill 2 by...
Learning 35 templates, or...
Innovating 2 new special techniques...
Getting 20 critical success crafting rolls...
You can get Blacksmithing skill 3 by...
Completing an item using 2 or more legendary materials,
or...
Innovating a new alloy of legendary metals.
Other methods may exist at your DMs discretion. Getting
Blacksmithing skill of 4 or higher would make you a peerless
Blacksmithing, and can only be accomplished at the DMs
discretion.

Putting it Together: Blacksminthg
het f
Let's walk through an example. Arkus the Fighter last saw his
favorite sword two-thirds of the way into a manticore, and
needs a new one.
He could buy one off the shelf, but he is pretty fussy about
the style and shape, and wants his family name on the sword,
and the local blacksmiths are charging extra for that, because
it's pretty long. He doesn't know much about Blacksmithing,
but his friend, Marlyn the Barbarian does.
He's pretty sure he needs some iron ingots, so picks up
three 5-lb. ingots, somehow now realizing there is no way a
Sword would require that many by the weight alone, spending
5 gold each, he's for 15 gold now.
Marlyn isn't much of a sword gal herself, she's more of an
axe gal, but she agrees to make a sword - it's just an inferior
axe after all, how hard can it be? She's made weapons before,
so is pretty sure that a scrawny sword wielder isn't swinging
around three ingots of iron, and correctly deduces she'd only
need one, even without having the template for swords.
Fortunately, she does know the technique for iron, so there's
no penalty for working with it, just disadvantage from not
knowing which side of the sword is supposed to be sharp
(both of them, as it turns out). But she has proficiency in
smiths tools', and can add +3 to her roll... a swords difficult as
it turns out is just 5, meaning that as long as she doesn't roll a
1 or 2 during the crafting process, she's set.
A sword has a crafting time of 4 hours with 4 rolls; she
starts! 3 and 4 with disadvantage for 5 result. Not a great start,
but she passes! 4 and 6 on the next roll, for a 7 result; with
disadvantage that's no critical success, but still a pass. On the
third roll gets a 1 and 5! That's a failure! Fortunately, this isn't
some fussy thing like alchemy. It can still be salvaged, it just
takes time.
Since she had 2 success and 1 failure, she spent 4 hours,
and record two successes against completion, and one failure
toward critical failure where her time and effort would be lost!
Starting once more immediately she quickly knocks out the
last two success needed by avoiding rolling a 1 or 2. A point of
crafting skill would have gone a long way to making that easier!
Still, Arkus has his sword and is happily on his way, thinking it
is the best sword ever... until he sees a shiny pile of admantite
ore during his next adventure.
This time Marlyn in trouble... she has no idea the technique
to work with that stuff! It's weird black metal that's super hard!
That's a +6 to the difficulty, making a simple longsword have a
difficult of 10! Even without disadvantage, she runs a 50%
chance of losing the material trying to work with it.

Adamant is a gleaming, glossy black. Any reflections seen in
it acquire rainbow edges, and this peculiar optical property is
the sure-fire way to identify this surprisingly light, valuable
metal.
Adamantine
This alloy, of five-eighths adamant to two-eighths silver and
one-eighth electrum (itself a natural alloy of silver and
gold)
retains the hardness of adamant, but combines it with a
rugged durability that makes adamantine so hard to shatter
that it is the favored substance for the making of war hammer
heads, the best nonmithral armor, and harbor chains.
Adamantine is black, but has a clear green sheen in
candlelighta sheen that sharpens to purple-white under the

Brass
A common well known alloy of copper and zink, it's a yellow-
ish metal somewhat resembling gold, having a bright, shiny,
appearance.
Copper
This well-known pure metal, with its distinctive pinkish sheen,
is the best widely available purifier and amalgamator
among
metals. It is soft and easily worked, and widely known.
Electrum
A natural alloy of silver and gold.
Gold
This well-known pure metal is the softest of workable metallic
substances, and one of the best conductors among them.
Despite its high value, it is relatively common and is favored
for use in ornamentation in the making of magical items.
Lead
A heavy but soft natural metal. It has a dark grey appearance
with low luster. While heavy and too soft for armor or
weapons, it does have useful properties due to being largely
impenetrable to magical effects, with a thin layer blocking
magical sight and some types of teleportation through walls.
Mithral
Known as truemetal to the dwarves, this silvery-blue, shining
metal is derived from soft, glittering, silvery-black ore found in
rare veins and pockets all over.
Mithral is the lightest and most supple of metals hard
enough to be used in the making of armor; it is extremely
valuable.

 Recipe: Formula
The recipes of Enchanting are Formula. For scrolls, the
formula having the spell recorded in written from. For an
Infusionsmith, having them written in the Spell Manual
counts. For a Wizard, having them recorded in the Spell Book
counts. Anyone without these features will have to start their
Formula book from scratch on spells. To transcipe a spell to
your Formula book, you must find a written copy of the spell,
such as spell scroll to copy; to copy it into your spell book
requires 50 gold of materials and 1 hour of time per level of
the spell.
For a spell, an Enchanter can only attempt to create a scroll
for which they do not have the formula if they could otherwise
cast the spell normally, in which case their crafting roll has
disadvantage. Without the formula or the ability to cast the
spell, creation of a scroll cannot be attempted.
For wondrous items, the recorded Formula must be
discovered through innovation, found, or taught as normal and
recorded as a known Formula. Without the known Formula
for a magic item or any check made to craft the subsequent
item is made with disadvantage.
Flawless Success
Unlike some crafting disciplines (like Alchemy), Flawless
Success in Enchanting merely means that further checks are
not required, and the crafting succeeds.
Increasing Enchanting Skill
Your Enchanting skill cannot be higher than your Intelligence
modifier. You can gain Enchanting skill the following ways.
You can get Enchanting Skill 1 by...
Creating 10 spell scrolls, or..
Creating an uncommon magical item...
Getting 5 critical successes crafting rolls...
being taught for one week by someone with Enchanting
skill 3 or higher.
You can get Enchanting Skill 2 by...
Creating 10 spell scrolls of 4th level or higher...
Innovating 5 rare magical item Formula...
Creating a rare magical item...
Getting 20 critical successes crafting rolls...
You can get Enchanting skill 3 by...
Creating a legendary magical item...
Creating a spell scroll for a 9th level spell...
Other methods may exist at your DMs discretion. Getting
Enchanting skill of 4 or higher would make you a peerless
Enchanter, and can only be accomplished at the DMs
discretion.
