*Note to players: Due to the circumstances around many patterns and designs being lost due to the calamity. Linage of knowledge remains the only way to certify that some one has the ability and information they claim. ***This is a very very similar to jujitsu/certain Martial arts ***

Crafting Mechanics:

• Each project has a unique base DC with modifiers that are adjusted based off of several criteria such as character profession level, character back story, previous attempts and a few other hidden modifiers.

• Crafters must attempt craft in a suitable location. The higher the distraction level of the surrounding the higher the DC will be.

• Some Crafts may require days to complete yet can be completed using the first roll. EX: a Healing potion brewing can take several days depending on the quality. However, only the initial roll is needed to determine success.

• The base roll:((D10 x 3 )x crafter level) +Success modifier(2 for each to the max of 10) + failure modifier(1 for each to the max of 10) +/- (Dm number)

• An example craft: Jonny the novice (x1 to dice) alchemist wants to attempt to make a cauldron of healing potion serum. Jonny read a book and his dad knows a guy. He has tried 6 times this week with only one success. DC to successfully complete the cast for Jonny is 30 (base 150)
  
  Using the base roll, and other modifiers, we know jonny will have to roll at least 23 on 3d10. Success is possible with an average of 7.6 on each dice but with every failure and sucess will reduce that number more significantly
