Weaponsmithing (Proficiency)

==Player's Handbook==
This highly specialized proficiency enables a character to perform the difficult and highly exacting work involved in making metal weapons, particularly those with blades. The character blends some of the skill of the blacksmith with an ability to create blades of strength and sharpness. A fully equipped smithy is necessary to use this proficiency.
The time and cost to make various types of weapons are listed on Table 41.

==Player's Option: Skills & Powers==
Weaponsmithing: This proficiency allows a character to create metal weapons. The Player's Handbook gives the time and material cost requirements for various types of weapons.
A character who seeks to create a truly exceptional weapon, can make a proficiency check after the item is completed. If the check fails, the weapon is useless, melted down for its bare metal; if the check succeeds, the character has created a weapon that is worth 50% more than the typical example. These are the kinds of weapons selected by wizards for enchantment.
Dwarves get a +1 bonus to their rating with this proficiency.
==The Complete Book of Dwarves==
A dwarf weaponsmith is not only more skilled than a human one (Intelligence -1, instead of -3), but capable of producing weapons at a faster rate. The costs remain the same.
