[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 9499328, member: 93670"] Important question... why is the PC incapable of a specialized craftsperson or even a PC with a class that gives relevantly adjacent enchantment knowledge? Different individuals have different skills. I know how to and have made some fairly impressive pastries in my life, but the results look like a five year old tried if I compare them to the last at the little bakery down the street who spent time in France working at a literal Michelin star place at some point in the past A f1 driver might know how to fix an engine and might even have some idea of how they work with a vehicle's transmission fuel pump and so on... But the folks who design and maintain those things are on a whole different level to the point where the most that driver could do to help is stay out of the way and stick to reporting observations because the driver practices driving while the f1mechanic & engineer practice bleeding edge race car tech. If you don't want the NPC armorer going off to do the adventure instead of hiring the PCs it's probably a good idea to assume that the armor has a different set of specialized skills not gained through killing monsters Sure, too bad that you wrote it in using the guidance from a book titled "Medium Conduit runic Circles Sbe Qhzzvrf (va Uvtu Qenpbavp)" and needed to use a whole bunch of super expensive ultra rare components normally needed in extreme moderation when enchanting ultra high end object oriented distributed artifact grade glyphs normally used with dragon parts and it's going to burn out if you aren't careful. There's a reason those widely publicized runes are taught to apprentices & used to make things like self warming mittens or shipping crates with the usual slight durability bump & weight reduction. The mittens will probably wear out in a winter or two & the boxes can't be reused. [Spoiler] [MEDIA=youtube]Iv4t4fKF5Sg[/MEDIA] Where did you even find that book? Nobody has spoken [URL='https://rot13.com/']High Draconic [/URL]for several thousand years [/Spoiler] [/QUOTE]
