Hey There, I recently made rules for the Tinkering craft, where players can make mundane contraptions. Contraptions like Automatic Crossbows and Grapple Guns, not sentient spinning tops of doom or iron golems that obey your verbal commands. You can see the whole craft here. As part of my...

With some help from you guys I cut some of the fat from the Artificing system. You can see it here. I did this shortening by adding in a half-page that let me remove a large chunk from every school of magic, and allow them to create their own powers. I posted the half-page below, and I would...

Hey 5ekyu, I too am excited about the Anti-Artifice feature, especially in how it differentiates Artificing as a craft from other crafts. I like to relate it to going on a Reverse-Quest, where you get the reward first and then have to fight the monster later, except the monster is hunting...

I completely agree Immortal Sun. When I introduced this into my world I started backwards rationalizing that Artificing is where most of the aberrant monsters like Gibbering Mouthers and Beholders came from! The best thing you could do is make a lot of artifices, as Anti-Artifices tend to merge...

Oh I misspoke. I said "No' to "Does the DM jave to do too much work." I think the system works well, but am looking for other opinions.

Hey Eltab, The question of balance for this craft is not for the player, as any advantage is a net positive, but balanced for the Game Master. Can a player use this craft without breaking the game for the DM or making the DM do too much work? I would argue no, that while the player can make...

Haha, yeah no matter what it was gonna be a hard sell. I'm creating several systems for crafting that have zero gold input. I'll start by saying that you're wrong, the only thing that costs money is labor. A Blacksmith doesn't need money to smith, he needs Ore and Coal and tools. If he's...

One of my goals in the pursuit to create better crafts includes Artificing; magic item creation. After a few iterations, we created a version of Artificing that no longer can target and attack every creature in the world or change places with the gods, however I'm sure we missed something that...

Greetings! We've created several crafting systems that we are looking to test in dice based fantasy role-playing games, including Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Herbalism, Rituals, Runeing, Tinkering, and Artificing. We're looking to make these crafts a supplement to all medieval fantasy...
