No, I saw that part. That's how I found myself surrounded while trying to rescue them, and presented with the options of saving my own life and freedom or fighting to the bitter end and bringing the plot to a screeching halt. I refused to surrender to the jackboots, I fought them until I was...

. . . And yet a Potion of Healing specifically CAN be crafted under the rules and is somehow arbitrarily non-magical. Adamantine is hard, Mithral is light, both are unusual but I see a very flimsy basis for calling either any more magical than silver is. Honestly, I'm now at a loss as to why...

So being surrounded by 50 people who want to kill or enslave you is a good reason to surrender, yet sneaking into a city full of people who want to kill you in what should reasonably be a doomed effort to rescue some captives is supposed to make sense as not suicidal? If the first makes sense...

That presumes working as an employee, not as an independent contractor.

Again, given that miner is one of the allowed backgrounds, how does that not count as either crafting or practicing a profession? A character with the criminal background could spend their downtime running a scam or picking pockets as "practicing a profession," right?

The discussion of these materials is just enough to muddy the waters. There are no simple Adamantine weapons listed in the DMG's Magic Items section (Armor is listed, as a +0 item resistant to critical hits), yet the MM mentions them as an option for removing resistance (mechanically exactly...

OK, thanks, one mystery solved.

So just shut up and deal with the arbitrary ruling. There is no real reason to give, got it.

Nope, an Emerald Enclave faction folder, the only kind they had left. On one side it says "Emerald Enclave Membership" and some other things. On the other it lists a Certificate Identification Code and a number. I thought you just noted your faction membership on the log sheet, no...

Really? being hard and light are magical qualities? Silver overcomes some resistances too, and against more creatures. Is it magical?

I got a faction package from my FLGS. There was something in it saying it was a certificate, but with no explanation. What's the deal? Are these good for anything?

"Crafting. You can craft nonmagical objects." That's all it says. No specific types of crafting are mentioned. Presumably if I were a Guild Artisan(Mason) I'd be able to build a forge given time and materials. or make a shield if I were a Smith, again given time and materials. The background...

In all honesty, how is that overboard? From the PoV of the player's character, they know halflings have been captured and their homes burnt to the ground, their farms stolen by racist humans. They will be hauled away to fight and die for the amusement of a mob, or be sold as slaves. This is the...

My Deep Gnome Fighter has the Earthspur Miner background. As a crafting activity, can he mine Mithral or Adamantine? How about gems? If so how would he go about that? If he gains proficiency with smith's tools, could he both mine materials and forge/upgrade his own gear? Not talking about...

I have a 4th level character with 9 sessions under his belt. Only 2 magic items so far made any sense at all for my character, and I lost the roll-off for both. At this rate I'll be 6th level before I get a single magic item. This is not a magic-rich environment.

"Like Pauper originally stated the run time can blow out if you have a 'troll' type who never sees anything as unwinnable in that first battle." I was that "troll," at least at my FLGS table, and honestly I don't see why I was expected to go quietly. That the Red Plumes are thugs of a racist...
