Pottery (Proficiency)

==Player's Handbook==
A character with this proficiency can create any type of clay vessel or container commonly used in the campaign world. The character requires a wheel and a kiln, as well as a supply of clay and glaze. The character can generally create two small- or medium-sized items or one large-sized item per day. The pieces of pottery must then be fired in the kiln for an additional day.
The raw materials involved cost 3 cp to make a small item, 5 cp to make a medium-sized item, and 1 sp to make a large item.
==Player's Option: Skills & Powers==
Pottery: The character can create ceramic vessels—jars, bottles, plates, bowls, etc.—of whatever type are in use in the campaign world. A serviceable piece of crockery can be made without a proficiency check. If the character attempts to make a fine-quality piece, it will take about three days for an average-sized object—and a successful proficiency check. Failure means the object is useless; success indicates the degree of excellence, with a roll of 1 indicating that the character has created a work of unique value.
A character with the artistic talent trait gains a +2 to the pottery proficiency rating. Masterpieces of pottery are sculpted by these talented characters.
==The Complete Barbarian's Handbook==
Though barbarians usually don't have potter's wheels, kilns, and glazes, they can still create a surprising variety of earthenware objects. They begin by removing stones, splinters, and other debris from lumps of clay, then knead the clay with water until it softens. They roll the clay into coils, then shape it into bowls, pots, and cups. They may press ornamental pebbles and bones into the sides of the object, or use sharp sticks to etch designs. The objects are then air-dried or placed near a fire to harden.
==Shaman==
This proficiency works as described, except when the character attempts to create clay ritual masks: then the character receives a +1 bonus to the Shamanic Ritual check.
