[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 9255995, member: 59057"] I have never in almost 30 years of playing D&D seen pcs competing with the bakers job. In 3.5 i liked to have lvl 2 experts. They got skill proficiency crafting 5. Skill focus for +3, and a secondary skill for synergy bonus, int 14 and masterwork tools, usually resulting in +14 bonus in that skill. With level 3 or int 16 it was a +15 bonus. That was enough to always rock CR 15. CR 20 when they had no steess (take 10). And CR 35 when there was plenty of time (take 20). And if that was not enough, they got help from assistants and a circumstance bonus for the perfect crafting shop. In 5e I would just give them expertise on the check. Int 14 for a +6 bonus. They'd had assistants for advantage or synergy between tool and skill. And then I'd also invent an ability like the new second wimd that allows them to add 1d10+1 to the roll 1/short rest. And I'd let them treat all checks as one category easier, as for them it is an easy task. For PCs it is not. [/QUOTE]
