Forging Weapons and Armor

The act of making one's own weapons and armor may be time-consuming, but it is far cheaper than buying goods at full price from vendors. Crafting also allows one to custom-make their equipment, adding all the personalized details and features that best suit their particular adventuring style. Those with the Smithy Proficiency and a suitable worship can do this themselves. Others will have to find a skillful blacksmith and pay their fee.

In order to create a weapon or suit of armor, you first choose the base item you wish to create. You then may customize its properties using Build Points (abbreviated BP). Weapons and armor are made from metal Ingots and each type of Ingot offers a different amount of Build Points for you to spend creating your equipment. If you wish to forge something complicated and powerful, you'll need a lot of high quality Ingots to do so.

The process of forging an item takes 12 hours for each Ingot you use.

Consult the charts below for the Build Point cost of various attributes and Features you can add to your weapons and armor.

THe Six Silvers

A blacksmith (or character with the Smithing Proficiency) can "silver" a weapon or suit of armor, inlaying special types of silver into it that make it more effective against specific types of enemies. 

• Silvered weapons give Advantage for the first 3 attacks made during a Scene against the kind of creature they oppose. 
• Silvered armor imposes Disadvantage on the first 3 attacks made during a Scene by a creature the silver opposes (for example, the first three attacks a zombie makes against the wearer of Truesilver armor would have Disadvantage).

The silvering process typically costs 1,000 Crowns, takes 12 hours of work, and requires one Ingot of the following types of Silver (a weapon can only be inlaid with one type of Silver):

Alchemical Silver

Effective against Dragons and Lusus Naturae

Blood Silver

Effective against Mortals

Cold silver

Effective against Godlings and Infernals

Darksilver

Effective against Giants and Hominids

Meteoric SIlver

Truesilver
