Crafting for Alias

The Following Rules will be enforced for crafting with regards to Alias's crafting ideas.

Guild Member Level Crafting

On Myier, all crafters of any worth are members of the Kundarak Guild of Crafters. These are two basic reasons for this:

Access to the highest quality of crafting equipment and components

Access to the resevoir of previous schematics for refrence

In order to perform the high end level of crafting that Alias is interested in, he'll need to join the Guild of Crafters in order to gain access to the equipment and components he will need.

Joining the Kundarak Guild requires a completion of an entrence process.

Step one: Find a sponser - Every member of the Kundarak Crafter's Guild was sponsored by a previous member in good standing.

Step two: Present an audition piece - enter one of your crafted items to be considered for entrence into the Guild

Step three: Complete an entrence interview and basic crafting test - You'll be interviews by the Guild leaders and a basic knowledge demonstration will be completed.

Once all of the entrence processes are completed, you will be a member of the Kundarak Crafter's Guild, gaining access to a couple of benefits - along with access to some of the materials you will need to do any advanced crafting.

Crafting Process Steps

Following membership being approved, Alias will be able to start work on any level 1 items that are provided on the list. These are items that are either prerequisits for advanced items, or simple crafts that do not pose too great a challenge for a budding crafter. To Craft any item (Regardless of level) Alias will need to follow the crafting process:

1 Create a Schematic

2 Build a prototype

3 Test and adjust as needed

4 Build finished product

(It is possible to repeat steps 2 and 3 multiple times depending on how the crafting goes.) Each Step in the process can take a minimum of a single day to complete, thus making it so that any crafted goods can be completed in a minimum of 4 days. (Time can be lessened with specific circumstances)

It is possible to fail some steps and move on to the next step only to have it fail automatically and start over. Crafting is a Science, and Science is an art of trial and error. Any member of the Kundarak Crafting guild will agree. For instance, if Alias fails the Schematic Step, he still creates a schematic he believes will work, but once he goes into the Build step, the crafting does not work, or once he goes into the Testing step, the item will backfire and not work as it's supposed to, causing him to have to go backto square one.

This will be more likely to happen on higher level items, where complexities allow for minor mistakes to cause greater havoc.

Step one: Create a Schematic

The first step in any advanced crafting is to have a solid idea of what the outcome should be. To that end, a Schematic must be made for even the simpliest of creations. (Not only is making a schematic good for planning, it is requred for the Kundarak Guild that a schematic be kept on file for any new crafting projects)

To make a schematic, Alias will need to make intelligence checks based off the difficulty of the item and the intricacies required to make it work. The DC for basic advanced crafting is 8 + ( [Crafting items Level] x 2) - so a level 1 item would have a difficulty check to make a schematic of 10, where as a level 2 would have a difficulty check of 12, and so on. This check Does Not take any tool proficienies into consideration, so Alais will be making the check using only the d20 + Int mod (+ prof. bonus if proficient in INT checks)

Failing this check means you make a difficult to follow schematic, and your next Int Roll will have disadvantage. Failing this check by 5 or more means you make an unknown major error in the schematic and the next step will fail, forcing you to come back to schematic. A Critical Fail on the schematic level means you have caused a critical Error in the schematic. The effects of this can be determined later by the DM.

A Critical Success on the Schematic means you have drawn up a schematic that is so detailed and easy to follow that you have very little issue using it to build your prototype (gain advantage on the next crafting step.)

Once a Schematic is completed, Alias can move forward to the next step - allowing that he has enough time.

Step two: Building a Prototype

Once a schematic is finished, the first prototype must be crafted to test on. The prototype will be tested first for any miscalculations.

To Build the prototype, Alias will make two crafting checks to build the item.
