Artificing

[Kerrick]

This is a variant magic item creation system whereby you can make items using the normal Craft system (which has also been revised). I've got everything done, but I wanted to get a sceond opinion on the DCs and crafting times for Tables 4 and 5 - are they too high, too low, or just about right? The original values are Tables 4 and 5; the revised ones are 4A and 5A (helpfully labelled "revised values" ).

Um... am I missing something, or is there no actual system here?

 

[Kerrick]

Umm.. oops? Apparently the file attachment didn't work right. I'll reattach it.

So, fighters can make magic items?


I think you owe it to yourself to pick up the Artificer's Handbook.

I think it covers (more succinctly) many of the ideas you're trying to implement.

No.. Craft (artificing) is like Craft (alchemy) - spellcasters only.

I have it. It was meh.

You might consider indicating as such in the document.

I'm crushed.

Anyway, I think your system is way too simplicistic. DC 5 to recharge a wand? I'd just create wands in your game. Are you using the costs from the SRD? I only see "max cost" listed.

I want to create a Hat that gives me 1/day detect thoughts, gives me a +2 to my Int, and a +5 to Diplomacy checks.

Using your system - how much would this cost, and how many days would it take?
