EXPERIMENTING AND TRAINING At your DM's discretion, you may need to learn the ways of ‘working with specific Materials or adding specific Traits to items. Ifyou are proficient with Smith's Tools, you gain the ability to craft with Steel and fron Materials, as well asa ‘number of Crafted Traits from among the tables on page 3 in any combination equal to twice your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 2) Players who chose the Guild Artisan background to be a guild blacksmith may choose two additional Crafted Traits and one additional Crafting Material ‘You may learn new patterns through experimentation. Choose a Trait or Material you don't yet know how t0 ‘make/use. Ifyou are not being instructed by a blacksi ‘who knows the Trait or Material, the DC is doubled unless you have instructions or plans for it, in which case the DC ‘mod is increased by 2 instead. Once the item is completed, you may add that Trait or Material to the list of Crafted Traits, Or Crafting Material you know how to make/use. Only one Trait or Material may be learned ata time in this matter. Ifyou have skilled followers proficient with Smith's Tools, you must teach them Traits and Materials they dost already know: You may train them in the same way as the previous paragraph, but you do not need to spend the additional ‘raining cost (and unless your DM decides otherwise, you ‘cannot charge your followers/hirelings to learn from you) New Trarrs ON ExisTinc ITEMS Crafted Traits may be added to items that have already been forged as long as they do not already have a Crafted Trait on them and you know how fo craft items out ofthe Material of which itis made, The DC mods of the Trait and Material the Price mod of the Material and the needed Crafting Points for the item remain the same as per the normal rules. You will only need 10% of the item's gp value (including Price mod) in ‘matching Material. but this does not count towards its final cost once the Trait is added, The DC mod of the item is increased by 2 if you did not craft the original item yourself and #5 ifthe item is magical (+7 if both). Furthermore, ifthe tem is magical the Crafting Points cost is multiplied by 10, and the gp cost ofthe item is based ‘on the items rarity (DMG p135) ‘When adding new Traits in this manner, a Ruined! result ‘on a Smiths Tools check destroys the item and leaves 50% of. its value in Material of whatever type it was made (not including the extra 10%) or 0% ofits value ifthe item was, ‘magical ee Special Thanks ‘special thanks goes fo homebrewenynatualei.com for the wonderful formatting tools, and forthe members of red who helped guide this module's growth.

In any cases where the wot n previous tables was ambiguous, the rules lai forth in this section should supersede any other interpretation from previous sections. DEFINITION OF TERMS Crit Range, Increases to Crit Range lower the target number required to roll a Critical Strike. These effects are cumulative with each other and are added after any change ‘made to the default Critical Strike range (such as the Fighter Champion Archetype's Improved Critical feature) ‘Massive Crit. in attack is considered a Massive Critical ‘Surike when an attack with advantage scores a ertical hit and the other attack roll would have scored a hit against the ‘Target's AC. Unwieldy, Attack rolls with this weapon of 5 are a critical failures unless you have more than 20 Strengi Dice Sizes. The order of dice sizes is as follows: Lsld4-+1d6-+1d8-12d4-+1d10-+1d12-+2d6-248 ‘Save DC. Saving throws caused by crafted. two forms, either Weapon Item Saves or Armor Item Saves. ‘Weapon Item Save DC = 8 + wielder's Attack modifier Armor Item Save DC = 8 + crafter's Smiths Tools mod used to craft the item RULE CLARIFICATIONS Grafted Effects. Crafting Traits and Crafting Material bonuses only apply tothe weapon, armor or shield withthe Traitor bonus. You cannot gain the benefits (or drawbacks) from items in your backpack. Other Items. Items classified as “Other Items on page cone may not gain the benefit of Crafting Traits, Additionally, any Material bonus that affects damage only affects the Hunting Trap. ‘Ammunition. Crafted ammunition gains the Weapon benefits from Materials in the Crafting Matera ist but ‘cannot gain any Trait. Spiked (Crafted Trait). Shicids with spiked also count as ‘weapons as well asa shield. Extra Plating (Armor Trai). You can benefit from Extra Paxig on both your shield and armor atthe same time, but you may only benefit from up to one such shield and up to ‘one such armor atthe same time. This effect can be ‘combined with resistance, but cannot be combined with ‘other flat damage reductions (such asthe Heavy Armor Master feat) Rorolls. You cannot reroll die that have been rerolled. Furthermore, when you choose to reroll a portion of dice you ‘ole, you cannot reroll the remaining dice with the same or any other rule Critical Failures. Attack rolls of 1 (or up to 5 with unwieldy) are critical failures and automatically iss, regardless ofthe target's AC value ALTERNATE RULE OPTIONS Damace Diz MaxImMuM If players are overusing Adamantium Greatswords and Mauls ‘because the damage dice are too good, reduce the highest damage die size from 248 to 344. Alternatively, assuming critical failures (ie. natural 1s are automatic failures) are already in effect, add the unwieldy property ean be added to any weapon with a damage die of 2d8 fit already has unwieldy, you cannot add your proficiency to attacks with this weapon. Massive Crit OPTions the Massive Crit rule ist to your DM's liking, one or more of the following may be used as the definition instead: ‘+ When a creature scores a crtial strike with advantage kes odds a flat 9.75% chance so long as you have advantage, which isa definite inerease in probability) “© When a creature has advantage and both dice would beat the target's AC (significantly more likely, no crit needed) “© When a creature rolls maximam damage for an attack (significantly increases probability for attacks without bonus dice the most while significantly decreasing. probability for attacks with bonus dice, eg. Sneak Attack) ‘+ When a creature rolls a max damage on a critical strike (came as above, but definitively lower probability if you roll double the dice for erits instead of doubling the value) ‘+ Ifa.creature rolls a 20 on an additional 420 roll after hhaving scored a critical strike (fat 025% chance)MATERIAL DETAILS >) ste below are the dele rules for Crafting serials The leveled forth tts eects may not be tue in your setting andor i¢ may be Geet riers oe loreal about the magica Y Materials. Consult with your DM for detaits ) red Goes Malertsto and pester ef other, similar Materials in the setting STEEL Steel isthe ubiquitous choice for blacksmiths when arming a soldier or warrior Strong and durable, smiths can always pit their trust in steet Items made with steel follow the same rules as their Player's Handbook equivalent (excluding the New Items in this module} as well as any special rules granted by a Trait crafted into the item, Tron A sturdy metal overall practical regards. Any item made with iron will cst less than a stee! equivalent, but willbe less effective. Al items made of iron have the DC of Strength checks ‘made to break them (as compared to a Steel equivalent) Weapons (and hunters traps) made with iron gain -1 10 their damage rolls (to a minimum of 1) ‘Armor and shields made with iron gain -l to their AC value. MITHRAL Favored by dwarven kingtloms for armor and items denoting station and honor, mithral is a lightweight, silvery metal It ‘makes for excellent armor but is not so very useful to them for weaponry, as they prefer hammers (which do better with some weight behind them). ‘Mithral isa unique metal in its low weight and high ‘ductility, making it difficult to manipulate properly if you are not careful As such, items made with Mithral require Dexterity for their Smith's Tools check, regardless ofthe item {ype or what Trait is added to it. All items made of mithral weigh one balf the normal amount. ‘Twohhanded weapons made of mithral lose the heavy ‘property other weapons gain light. ‘Armor made of mitral have no Strength requirement. In ‘addition, medium armor made of mithral allow the user to ‘add a maximum of +3 from their Dexterity modifier to their AG, instead of +2 Shields made of mithral gain light (and therefore may be used in Two: Weapon Fighting) In addition, so long as the ‘wearer is conscious and can see/hear/sense a threat, the ‘wearer adds the AC bonus of their shield to their Dexterity saving throws, ADAMANTIUM Adamantium is said tobe the strongest substance in the realm. It's smoky, greysilver color would make it excellent for hiding in the darkness if one were to remain perfectly still ‘but any movement is dificult to hide, as the heavy armor clatters against itself. Due to its incredible weight and durability this barely-malleable metal requires Smiths Tools checks made to create items out oft tobe made with Constitution, regardless of which item its or which Trait is being added to it All items made of adamantium weigh twice the normal ‘amount, have twice the hit points, and add an additional +5 to any Strength check made to break them. ‘Weapons made of adamantium lose the light property if they have it, otherwise they gain the heavy property Additionally, such weapons (and hunting traps made of ‘adamantium) have their damage die increased by one size. ‘The item's versatile de is also increased ifit has one. ‘Armors made of adamantium reduces magical damage taken by 2 but require the wearer to have Strength equal to the armor's base AC (ie. not including any enchantments) as per the Heavy Armor rule (PHB p14) ‘Shields made of adamantium gain heavy, and as long as the ‘wearer is conscious and able to see/hear/sense an attacker, they gain resistance to non-magical damage from critical strikes scored by that attacker. Small ereatures do not gain AC bonuses or other benefits from adamantium shields. DEEPIRON Found fairly commonly within the depths of the Underdark, deepiron is found in drow and duergar societies. Ruddy brown when found in veins, deepiron turns fiery red when heated and is a dark copper color when cooled. For the most par, it functions much the same way iron or steel might (when forged properly} but the metal has a uniquely resistant property towards Fey and Celestial creatures, ‘Weapons made of deepiron allow the wielder to reroll any damage rolls made against Fey or Celestial creatures. The ‘new result cannot be rerolled and must be kept. Armor made of deepiron grants the wearer advantage on any saves caused by Fey or Celestial creatures. ‘Shields made of deepiron add their AC bonus to any saves ‘caused by Fey or Celestial creatures.intmacus Also known as "Voidstone” or "Magebane,” finimagus can temporarily separate creatures from the weave. Finimagus hhas been used to make prisons for spelleasters. Simply touching the metal is not enough to trigger the effects, oa ‘mount with barding made of finimagus won't affect the rider Wielded or worn items made of finimagus render the user tunable to cast or concentrate on spells. Any spell that is ‘currently being maintained by a ereature who draws such a ‘weapon or dons such an armor ends immediately, The same also applies to creatures bound in (Le. chain) or trapped by (ie. hunting trap) items made of finimagus. Weapons made of finimagus impose disadvantage on Constitution saving throws to maintain concentration for spells from damage caused by them. Armor made of finimagus grant the wearer advantage to Constitution saving throws to avoid effects of spells. Shields made of finimagus cause spells that deal half damage to the wearer on a successful save to deal no damage to the wearer instead ARGENTIUM Also known as "Puresteet” argentium is a highly reflective ‘metal with magical properties. Often used to eraft holy symbols and regalia, argentium is commonly used by paladins and cleries. It makes for great armor, especially against spelleasters, asthe metal itself draws in magical effects and converts their energy into a magical barrier. Weapons (and hunting traps) made of argentium count as ‘magical for the purposes of overcoming Resistance and Immunity to non-magical attacks and damage. ‘Armor made of argentium bestows an uplifting feeling onto the wearer. The first time the armor is donned each day, the creature rolls a hit die without expending it and gains temporary hit points equal to the value rolled. These temporary hit points last until the following dawn or until the armor is doffed. The armor may only grant this hoon once ‘until the following dawn, ‘Shields made of argentium are empowered by the first spell damage taken by the wearer. When you take damage from a spell for the first time while wearing an argentium shield you gain resistance to that type of damage for 1 ‘minute. This may not oceur again until the following dawn. SkyRiTE Also known as "Blessed Gold” skyrite is silvery-gold in ‘coloration but as strong as steel Skyrite is used by paladins and cleries who can afford the precious metal most 5 “anti-eil” propertic ‘ny Fiend, Aberration, or Undead creature that tries to break an item made of skyrite take d4 radiant damage. Additionally such creatures take an additional d4 radiant ‘damage if caught in a hunting trap made of skyrite. ‘Weapons made of skyrite force Fiend, Aberration, and ‘Undead to take a Constitution saving throw when a critical strike is scored with it. Ifthe save is failed the creature is ‘stunned until che start ofthe attacker's next tar, ‘Armor made of skyrite grants the wearer advantage on saving throws against being frightened. Shields made of skyrite deal I radiant damage to attackers ‘when the wearer is struck by a melee or spell attack. Mergoric IRON Rarer than rare, meteoric rocks make for a powerful arsenal Discovered to harhor much of the same properties as fire within its surface, meteoric iron weapons are said to burn as they eut flesh, though perhaps that’s just a rumor spread by those who wield the precious stone to seare those who don! Either way, the meteoric iron makes for a strong weapon, and if skied smith is lucky enough to accumulate sufficient rock fo make armor, itis possible to make an armor that will ‘burst out with flames when struck in the right (or perhaps ‘wrong) manner. Items made of meteoric iron are resistant to fire (this does not translate to a benefit for the holder/wearer, if applicable). ‘Weapons made of meteoric iron have an additional +1 to their Critical Strike range when used to attack a target that is, vulnerable to fire. Additionally, 1/2 the damage (rounded down) dealt by eriical strikes with a weapon macle of ‘meteoric iron is fire damage instead of its normal type. Armor made of meteoric iron will strike back any ereature that attacks the wearer and rolls a 1 or 20 on the attack roll ‘The would-be attacker must pass a Dexterity saving throw equal to the wearer's Armor Save DC (see previous page) or take d6 fre damage. ‘Shields made of meteoric iron can absorb flame damage. When the wearer rolls a 20 on a save against fire, the shield {grants the wearer Resistance to fire for 1 minute. Thi Resistance counts when calculating the damage taken by the triggering attack, if any. ERUDITE Erucite crystal is unlike most other erystals in that when itis heated up to a high enough temperature, it becomes ‘malleable and ductile without being brittle - much like metal, ‘careful craftsman can form the crystal into shape before it cools it returns to its crystalline structure, holding its new shape. As its not actually metal this erystal is popular among druidie cultures (those that can find it, anyway) but the crystal’s arcane properties also make ita favorite among ‘wizards and other spelleasters. Due to the finesse required to craft items with Erudite, all ‘tems forged with this Material require Dexterity for any ‘Smith's Tools checks, ‘Weapons made of erudite may be used as a spell focus. ‘When used for casting spells, these weapons also grant-+1 to the wielder’s Spell Attack Mod. Armor made of erudite grant their wearer advantage on Constitution saving throws made to maintain concentration for spells. Shields made of erudite may be used as a spell focus, .granting+1 to the wearer's Spell Save DC,METALLURGY (EXPERIMENTAL RULES) ‘tal Materials can be smelted together 6 into a new Material by a skilled smith. This new alloy may contain the best of both metals or it may be worse than its original counterpart if ereated poorly. When combining metals, you will need equal parts of both, so you will need to collect half the value of any item you intend t0 use the alloy forin each Material in order to have enough to craft it. Choose two metals to combine. The amount of Crafting Points necessary to complete enough alloy to make a 25gp worth of items (before Price Mods) is equal to their combined Price mods, Seoring a Ruined! on any Smith’s Tools check while smelting the alloy results in none of the Material salvageable. I'you don't finish the smelting the alley t will seitle into a unusable mess (like a Ruined! result after one hour Ifthe alloy is completed, roll a d% for each Material and ‘consult the Smelting Table below for results. You may choose ‘which result you apply to which alloy: Then, see what benefit is unlocked given the two results you've seored. SMELTING TABLE 43% Results 1.40 Poor. The alloy gains its Bad Properties. 41-99 OK Fair Properties 100 Perfect Alloy holds all the Materal's properties. The alloy's DC mod is now equal to that ofthe higher DC ‘mod of the two original alloys, and its Price mod is equal to he average of their Price mods (rounded down), SPECIAL CASES ‘Mithradamantium. When mixing mithral with adamantium, take the weight effects (including light or heavy properties) andthe ability modifier add to a Smith's Tools ‘check with the Material (Dexterity and Constitution, respectively) whose Smelting Table result was higher Ifthe results are equal take neither weight effect and neither ability ‘modifier requirement.

The flchion costs 25 gp, so he collects 37¢p50sp worth of meteoric iron (12¢p50sp x argentium’s Price mod) and SOgp worth of skyrite (12¢p SOsp x shyrit’s Price mod), ‘Mike then adds ther price mods together and gets 7. This is how many Crafting points he needs per 2Sgp increment. Lucky for him, he only needs 25gp! He begins making his crafling attempts and scores 2 Moderate and 1 Noteworthy results, earning him his 7 Crating Points He now has enough argentium:skyrite alloy to make his falchion, but he must firs find out how well is alloy settled, He rolls a 24% and gets a 55 and a 40. He uses the 55 for syrite (earning him skyrite’s Fair properties) and the 40 for argentium (earning him argentium’s Bad properties), fhe uses this alloy to make his falchion, critical strikes scored with that weapon would force any Fiend, Aberration, of Undead to have its speed reduced to 0 fit fails a Constitution save, but any creature who would be resistant to that weapon's damage would be immune instead ‘Mrrspa ALLoy PRorERrizs Bap Weapon: Reduce the size ofthe weapon's damage die by 1 Armor & Shields:-1 AC to this item.
