The map pin in Port Hempstead - Merchant District says "Hall of the Weave" instead of Hall of the Al'Noth.

Ask A Gamemaster / Re: Crafting and weapon proficiencies

I think it's *hilarious* that commoners can't chop wood.

Actually, I think it would be possible to change the required item for chopping wood from woodcutter's axe to some weapon that can be used with the simple weapon proficiency feat. However, it wouldn't look as good if you were chopping wood with a ... sickle?

But most of all, I realize it would be some piece of work to change this part of the CNR engine. Suriel will have to get others to chop her wood for her, no problem. Maybe even Fehriel... or Tyra...

Ask A Gamemaster / Crafting and weapon proficiencies

For some of the crafting you need to wield an instrument, like the Woodcutter’s Axe for cutting branches in woodcrafting. Since the item used is treated as a weapon, you need to correct weapon proficiency to be able to craft. In the case of woodcrafting, this is Weapon Proficiency (Martial).

All I can think of to get around this problem (not able to wield the instrument) is do either:
- Invest a feat for the weapon proficiency. However, for most classes this is nearly impossible since the few slots they get, are already more or less taken up by other important feats (like the Eschew Material feat for wizards/sorcerers)
- Multiclass with a class which has this particular feat
- Party up with a character that does have the skill

Neither seem reasonable to me. For my sorceress, I want to take woodcrafting, but I can't fit the martial weapon proficiency in. Nor is it always possible to party up - for instance if there is nobody available online.

Also, in the case of a woodcutter's axe - nearly everybody in RL will have held and maybe even used such a thing without formal training.

Is there a way to get around this requirement? If your character doesn't have the appropriate feat, is there another way to do this particular type of crafting?

Ask A Gamemaster / Material components craftable?

Hi,

I noticed that certain spells like Mage Armor have a material component. Is it possible to create these components with crafting?
