Making Equipment (SNS)

__TOC__
﻿Actually making an article of equipment may or may not require a proficiency roll, depending on the complexity of the item. The blacksmith can automatically craft a simple item-like a batch of nails. Conversely, constructing a full suit of field plate complete with embossed heraldry is quite difficult. Such a task might warrant a -4 penalty to the blacksmith's Armorer proficiency roll. The DM should determine the extent of any modifiers to the Blacksmithing proficiency check.
==Which Proficiency to Use==
When the blacksmith makes armor of any kind, he rolls against his Armorer proficiency. When he wants to make a weapon, he rolls against his Weaponsmithing proficiency. When a blacksmith fashions any other metallic item, he rolls against his Blacksmithing proficiency.
For more details about the use of each proficiency, consult the "Proficiencies" chapter in the Player's Handbook. This chapter also lists the length of time required to make armor and certain common types of
weapons.
