Crafting Ritual - Armorsmithing (Heroic, Paragon and Epic level)

[Daniel D. Fox]

Here are the general guidelines for what I want to create, using the same standards from the PHB without having to introduce any new Skills. Please feel free to help out with the fluff text and/or descriptions.

The numbers are based purely off of the standards set on page 180 of the PHB in regard to Knowledge checks. The prices are based on 3.5 Craft entry, as are the times for completion.

Specific Notes:
Standard Artisan's Tools (15gp, Weight 33lbs) are required or Armorsmithing, Master Artisan's Tools are required for Master Armorsmithing (30gp, Weight 33lbs) and Epic Artisan's Tools (30gp, Weight 33lbs) are required for Epic Armorsmithing.

All Rituals can be assisted with.

These Rituals cannot be rendered to scroll, and must be learned through book or teaching (which fufills the requirements to learn the Ritual).

Market Price I am entirely unsure of. What does it truly cost to teach someone how to Armorsmith?

Further thoughts-

Making magical Artisan's Tools grants an enhancement bonus to the skill check. So, +1 at levels 1-5th level, +2 at 6-10th level, +3 at 11-15, +4 at 16-20th level, +5 at 21-25th level and +6 at 26-30th level. As for cost of these tools, no idea yet.
