Agriculture checks are made once per year; yields and profits for agriculture are also given in yearly rates. Modifiers are applied to Agriculture checks as shown below.

Proficiency Check (1d20)	Result	Farm Profitability
1-5	Disastrous Year	50%
6-10	Poor Yield	80%
11-16	Average Harvest	100%
17+	Bumper Crop	120%

Number of Workers:

Number of Workers	Check Modifier
120%	+1
90%	-1
80%	-2
70%	-3
60%	-4
50%	-5
40%	-6
30%	-7
20%	-8
10%	-9

100% means that there is 1 person to work a field that can feed 2 people. (Children (7-11) count as half a worker.) Cash value for each person a farm can feed is 36 gp. (Profits are what remains after the cost of living are subtraced from the total value.)

Random Events:

1d20	Event	Check Modifier	Possible Mitigation
1	Ruinous Weather	-6	Successful Weather Sense proficiency check (-3 penalty); Control Weather (no penalty)
2-3	Bad Weather	-4	Successful Weather Sense proficiency check (-3 penalty); Control Weather (no penalty)
4-6	Animal Disease	-2	Successful Healing proficiency check (-3 penalty); Cure Disease (no penalty)
7-8	Building Damaged	-2	Repair costs: 10 gp/feeding capacity of farm (no penalty)
9	Predators	-1	PCs drive off/destroy the menace (no penalty)
10	Poachers or Bandits	-1	PCs drive off/destroy the menace (no penalty)

15-17	Used Good Seed	+1	-
18-19	Good Weather	+2	-
20	Special	DM	Wizard/dragon devastates farm (-10), avatar blesses crops (+5), etc.

Priestly Plant Growth spells can add 20%-50% to a farm's annual yield (with a successful saving throw by the casting priest).

Armorer

Prerequisite: armorers creating metal armor require a smithy and shelter as for Blacksmithing below. Armorers creating leather armor require a leatherworker's shop and shelter as for Leatherworking below. Armorers creating both types of armor require a leatherworker's shop as for Leatherworking below, and a smithy and shelter as for Blacksmithing below (i.e. Blacksmithing prerequisite + 25 gp).

Apprentices cost 2gp/week (food, upkeep, training); once they reach young adulthood (age 16) and an Armorer check of 12 or better, they will demand Overseer status (15gp+/week).

The table below is for standard costs; overseers (and PCs with Armorer proficiency 12+) drafted to do apprentice-level work count as two apprentices

Failure: a failed proficiency check within 4 of success results in flawed armor 1 AC worse than normal that breaks if struck with a natural attack roll of 19 or 20, worsening AC by 4 immediately (but not work than 10) and halving movement rate and penalizing attack by -4 (until taken off, which requires 1d4 rounds).

A failed proficiency check of 5 or more results in junk.

Artistic Ability

Artistic Ability is taken in a particular field of art, like painting or sculpture.

Painting:

Prerequisite:

Paints, set of 10	13 gp
Brush, Small	3 sp
Brush, Medium	4 sp
Easel	40 gp
TOTAL	53 gp, 7 sp

Sculpture:

Prerequisite:

Hammer, Chisel	4 gp
Mallet, Stone-Setting	10 gp
Chisels, Mithral Stone (set of 12)	120 gp
TOTAL	134 gp

Proficiency checks may be made to determine the quality of the work; a roll of 1 results in a work of truly lasting value, while a failure results in something aesthetically unpleasing or just bad.

In addition, proficiency in Artistic Ability confers a +1 bonus to Musical Instrument, Singing, Dancing, and Appraising.

Blacksmithing

Prerequisite: smithy (materials as shown below), shelter (as below for up to 3 workers). For each extra 3 workers, +50% the base cost for both materials and shelter.

Anvil, Steel (70 lb.) OR Anvil, Steel (160 lb.)	45 gp/95 gp
Bellows, Small	5 gp
Bellows, Large	10 gp
Forge, Small (40 lb.) OR Forge, Full (120 lb.)	50 gp/120 gp
Grindstone	20 gp
Smithing Hammer	7 gp
Reservoir	50 gp
Tongs, Long-Handle	5 gp
Tongs, Short-Handle	3 gp
Pliers, Bending	2 gp
Pliers, Tooling	4 gp
Pavilion Tent OR Wooden Workshop	100 gp/300 gp
TOTAL	301 gp-621 gp

This proficiency may be used to craft crowbaws, grappling hooks, horseshoes, nails, hinges, plows, hammers, and so on; most weapons cannot be created using this proficiency (certain spikes, hammers, mallets, etc. may be used as weapons, although that is not their intended purpose). Proficiency checks are not necessary except for complicated or otherwise difficult tasks.

Bookbinding

Bookbinding can save wizards some money when preparing spellbooks; essentially, they can halve the initial costs of the book itself, but wizards must still continue to prepare and treat the spellbook as normal afterwards.

In addition, a successful Bookbinding proficiency check graints +2 to saving throws vs. acid, fireball, disintegration, and lightning (as leather). Special materials (metal sheets, dragon hide, etc.) requires a proficiency check for success.

Preparing Spellbooks Using Bookbinding:

Book Type	Materials Cost (gp)	Time Taken
Spellbook, Standard (16" x 12" x 6", 15 lbs., 100 pages)	250 gp	2 weeks + 20 days
Spellbook, Travelling (12" x 6" x 1", 3 lbs., 50 pages)	125 gp	2 weeks + 10 days

PCs with both the Bookbinding and Papermaking proficiencies can save even more money, although more time is required, as outlined below:

Preparing Spellbooks Using Both Bookbinding and Papermaking:

Book Type	Materials Cost (gp)	Time Taken
Spellbook, Standard (16" x 12" x 6", 15 lbs., 100 pages)	125 gp	2-3 weeks + 20 days
Spellbook, Travelling (12" x 6" x 1", 3 lbs., 50 pages)	62 gp	2-3 weeks + 10 days

After the book is ready, the wizard can begin to prepare the spellbook (adding aromatic compounds to deter bookworms and moths, applying preparations to protect against mold, mildew, and dry rot, and so on). This step must be done by all wizards themselves, whether or not they know the Bookbinding or Papermaking proficiencies or not.

Standard spellbooks can hold 24 spells of 1st-3rd level, 16 spells of 4th-6th level, or 8 spells of 7th-9th level; travelling spellbooks can hold ¼ this much. Note that adding a new spell to a spellbook requires 100 gp/spell level added (with or without the Bookbinding proficiency).

Spellbook Preparation:

Book Type	Materials Cost (gp)	Time Taken
Spellbook, Standard (16" x 12" x 6", 15 lbs., 100 pages)	500 gp	1d4+3 weeks
Spellbook, Travelling (12" x 6" x 1", 3 lbs., 50 pages)	250 gp	1d4+3 weeks

Bowyer/Fletcher

Prerequisite: Set of bowyer/fletcher's tools (10 gp)

Weapon	Retail Cost	Materials Cost (gp)	Time Taken
Long Bow	75	0+++	1 wk
Short Bow	30	0+++	1 wk
Composite Long Bow	100	0+++	2 wk
Composite Short Bow	75	0+++	2 wk
Flight Arrow	3 sp/12	2 cp/each	1d6/day
Sheaf Arrow	3 sp/6	2 cp/each	1d6/day

Failure: a failed proficiency check results in a weapon that breaks if the character using it rolls a 1 on his attack roll.

Weapons of fine quality can be created by spending double the time creating the weapon; a successful check allows characters to add Strength bonuses to attack and damage rolls; a natural roll of 1 allows +10 yards for all range classes as well.

Craft Instrument

Prerequisite: set of craftman tools (weighing 5 lbs.) (25 gp) is not absolutely necessary, but without them, all crafting time is doubled. A proficiency slot is required for each type of instrument; all four slots can be taken to gain the title of "master craftsman."

Rate of Work:

Instrument Type	Cost	Days of Work (10 Hours/Day)
Keyboard	¼ sale value	3d10
Percussion	¼ sale value	1d6
String	¼ sale value	2d8
Wind	¼ sale value	1d6
Simple Repair	-	1d4 hours
Severe Repair	-	1d8 hours

Craft Instrument Result:

Proficiency Check (1d20)	Result
1	Masterpiece (double value)
Success	Good Quality
Failure	Poor Quality
20	Nonfunctional

Gem Cutting

Prerequisite: set of gem cutting tools (special saws, laps (metal plates charged with loose abrasive), skeif (horizontally mounted grinding wheel), vertically mounted grinding wheel, dop sticks (sticks to cement gems to using hot wax), doping wax, metal clamps, abrasives) (100 gp)

Rate of Work:

Race	Finished Rough Gems/Day
Dwarf/Gnome	2d8
Other Race	1d10

Gem Cutting Result:

Proficiency Check (1d20)		Result
Dwarf/Gnome	Other Race
1-2	1	Gem value raised to next higher value
Success	Success	Gem finished normally
Failure	Failure	Gem value decreased to next lower value

Glassblowing

Prerequisite: specialized glazier's workshop and furnace (75 gp).

10 small containers, 5 medium containers, or 2 large containers can be made in one day. Especially precise or symmetrical pieces require a proficiency check.

Leatherworking

Prerequisite: leatherworker's shop (materials as below), shelter (as below for up to 3 workers). For each extra 3 workers, +50% the base cost for both materials and shelter.

Vat, Large (8)	8 gp
Foldable Long-Razor	7 gp
Knife, Skinning 8" (2)	10 gp
Large Tent OR Wooden Workshop	25 gp/75gp
TOTAL	50 gp/100 gp

This proficiency allows characters to make leather armor, backpacks, saddlebags, saddles, harnesses, and so on. Characters will use materials like cedar oil, alum, tannin, lime, salt, and lots of water for leatherworking tasks.

Mining

First, PCs must conduct a survey to check if an area contains minerals suitable for mining.

1. Surveying:

Survey	Time	Survey Area		Proficiency Modifier
		Surface	Underground
1st	1 week	4 sq. mi.	2 sq. mi.	-
2nd	2 weeks	4 sq. mi.	2 sq. mi.	-1 penalty
3rd	3 weeks	4 sq. mi.	2 sq. mi.	-2 penalty
4th	4 weeks	4 sq. mi.	2 sq. mi.	-3 penalty
5th	5 weeks	4 sq. mi.	2 sq. mi.	-4 penalty

If the miner finds something, he must then roll on the following tables to determine exactly what kind of mineral has been found.

Mining Products:

Roll d%	Product of Mine
01-30	Copper
31-40	Tin
41-66	Lead
67-84	Iron
85-92	Silver
93-97	Gold
98	Platinum
99	Mithril (see table below)
00	Gemstones (see table below)

Mithril:

Roll d10	Metal Discovered
1-5	Silver (highest quality)
6-8	Gold (highest quality)
9	Platinum (highest quality)
10	Mithril

Gemstones:

Roll d%	Class of Stone
01-25	Ornamental
26-50	Semi-precious
51-65	Fancy
66-80	Precious
81-90	Hardstone
91-94	Gems
95-96	Jewels
97-99	Roll twice
00	Roll thrice

If he has found metal ore, he next rolls to see the quality of the ore that can be mined (ore quality is in number of coins that can be produced from each ingot; this is also the selling price (after smelting; before smelting the going price is only 5-25% of the figures below)).

Metal Ore Quality:

Ore Quality in Coins/Week/Miner (Roll d10)
Metal	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10*
Copper	100	200	250	300	350	400	500	750	1000	2000
Iron	200	300	500	700	900	1200	1600	2000	3000	4000
Silver	25	50	100	200	300	400	500	750	1000	2000
Gold	10	25	50	100	200	300	400	500	750	1000
Platinum	5	10	20	40	75	100	250	400	800	1000

^*If you roll a 10, roll 1d10 again. If another 10 results, the mine is a pure vein and requires no smelting.

If he has found gemstones, he can use the following table to see the value of the gems that he has found.

Gemstone Mining:

Class of Stone	#/Dwarf/week	Average Uncut Value
Ornamental	4d10	1 gp
Semi-precious	3d6	5 gp
Fancy	1d12-1	10 gp
Precious	1d10-1	50 gp
Hardstone	1d8-1	Special
Gems	1d6-1	100 gp
Jewels	1d4-1	500 gp

There is a 1% chance/week that a mine will find an exceptional stone (value is the base x 1d100).

2. Mine Type: Next, the miner must decide to create a placer mine or an underground mine.

Placer mines are nearly free to create, but only yield 1d4 x 10% of the ore quality shown above. Placer mines only last for 1d100 hours (of dwarf-work). Placer mines can only be created for gold, silver, or platinum; other ores/minerals require underground mines.

Underground (tunnel) mines last for 1d100 weeks (of dwarf-work); each double (11, 22, 33) rolled allows a reroll of 1d100 for additional months, and then additional years, decades, centuries, and so on.

Underground mines must first be dug 1d10 x 10 feet deep to reach the ore/gemstones and begin mining. Tunnels are 10 feet wide and 10 feet high. Each 10' section of tunnel requires two side braces and one ceiling brace (requiring 30 feet of material each, either wood or stone). Each brace requires 4 hours to build (requires Mining, Carpentry, or Stonemasonry proficiencies).

Mining Rates:

Miner/8 hour day	Type of Rock
	Very Soft	Soft	Hard
Gnoll, Halfling, Human	75 cu. ft.	50 cu. ft.	25 cu. ft.
Gnome, Kobold	80 cu. ft.	60 cu. ft.	30 cu. ft.
Goblin, Orc	85 cu. ft.	65 cu. ft.	30 cu. ft.
Dwarf, Hobgoblin	90 cu. ft.	70 cu. ft.	35 cu. ft.
Ogre	150 cu. ft.	100 cu. ft.	50 cu. ft.
Hill Giant	250 cu. ft.	150 cu. ft.	75 cu. ft.
Fire Giant, Frost Giant	300 cu. ft.	200 cu. ft.	100 cu. ft.
Stone Giant	500 cu. ft.	350 cu. ft.	175 cu. ft.

Mineral Vein Direction:

Roll d4	Vein Runs (First 20')
1	North-South
2	East-West
3	Northeast-Southwest
4	Northwest-Southeast

Mineral Path Aleration:

Roll d10	Vein Path Alteration (every 20')
1-2	Steep descent
3-4	Shallow descent
5	Curves right (10-60 degrees)
6	Curves left (10-60 degrees)
7	Continues straight
8	Shallow ascent*
9	Steep ascent*
10	Vein ends

^* If the mine starts on the surface, first time is a descent, not ascent.

3. Mining Operations: Mining overseers must make successful Mining checks each week or else production is reduced by ½ for that week (due to a cave in, pilfering, bad management, an umber hulk, etc.).

Papermaking

Prerequisite: 50 gp workshop (10 gp for parchment or vellum).

Papermaking allows characters to make paper (made of rag pulp, linen, hemp, or wood), parchment (made of animal skin), or vellum (made of young animal skin).

Papermaking can also save wizards some money when preparing spellbooks; essentially, they can halve the initial costs of the book itself, but wizards must still continue to prepare and treat the spellbook as normal afterwards.

Perparing Spellbooks Using Papermaking:

Book Type	Materials Cost (gp)	Time Taken
Spellbook, Standard (16" x 12" x 6", 15 lbs., 100 pages)	250 gp	1-2 weeks
Spellbook, Travelling (12" x 6" x 1", 3 lbs., 50 pages)	125 gp	1-2 weeks

PCs with both the Papermaking and Bookbinding proficiencies can save even more money, although more time is required, as outlined below:

Preparing Spellbooks Using Both Papermaking and Bookbinding:

Book Type	Materials Cost (gp)	Time Taken
Spellbook, Standard (16" x 12" x 6", 15 lbs., 100 pages)	125 gp	2-3 weeks + 20 days
Spellbook, Travelling (12" x 6" x 1", 3 lbs., 50 pages)	62 gp	2-3 weeks + 10 days

After the book is ready, the wizard can begin to prepare the spellbook as usual (adding aromatic compounds to deter bookworms and moths, applying preparations to protect against mold, mildew, and dry rot, and so on). This step must be done by all wizards themselves, whether or not they know the Bookbinding or Papermaking proficiencies or not.

Standard spellbooks can hold 24 spells of 1st-3rd level, 16 spells of 4th-6th level, or 8 spells of 7th-9th level; travelling spellbooks can hold ¼ this much. Note that adding a new spell to a spellbook requires 100 gp/spell level added (with or without the Bookbinding proficiency).

Spellbook Preparation:

Book Type	Materials Cost (gp)	Time Taken
Spellbook, Standard (16" x 12" x 6", 15 lbs., 100 pages)	500 gp	1d4+3 weeks
Spellbook, Travelling (12" x 6" x 1", 3 lbs., 50 pages)	250 gp	1d4+3 weeks

Seamstress/Tailor

Prerequisite:

Needles (set of 10)	4 cp
Sewing Thread (100')	6 cp
TOTAL	1 sp

Other materials may be necessary (embroidery thread (100') (8 cp), darning thread (100') (4 cp), scissors (2 sp), thimble (4 cp), pins (10) (3 cp), fabric (various, from 5 sp (homespun) to 7 gp (silk) per sq. yd.), depending on the type of work to be done.

No proficiency check is needed for normal work.

Smelting

Prerequisite: Smelter, with costs as outlined below (not including buildings, if any).

Smelter Size	Cost	Size	Operation Cost	Procesing Speed
Small	1,000 gp	30' x 30'	5 gp/day	4 miners' ore/day
Medium	2,000 gp	50' x 50'	12 gp/day	20 miners' ore/day
Large	5,000 gp	75' x 75'	25 gp/day	100 miners' ore/day

Weaponsmithing

Prerequisite: smithy and shelter as for Blacksmithing above.

Weapon	Construction Time		Material Cost
	Dwarves	Non-dwarves
Arrowhead	7/day	5/day	1 cp
Battle Axe	7 days	10 days	10 sp
Hand Axe	3 days	5 days	5 sp
Dagger	3 days	5 days	2 sp
Heavy Crossbow	15 days	20 days	10 sp
Light Crossbow	12 days	15 days	5 sp
Fork, Trident	15 days	20 days	10 sp
Spear, Lance	3 days	4 days	4 sp
Short Sword	15 days	20 days	5 sp
Long Sword	23 days	30 days	10 sp
Two-Handed Sword	34 days	45 days	2 gp

Failure: a failed proficiency check within 4 of success results in a weapon that breaks on an attack roll of 5 or less. A failure of 5 or more results in junk.

Weaving

Prerequisite:

Spinning Wheel	12 gp
Loom, 4'	12 gp
Wool Carder	8 cp
TOTAL	24 gp, 8 cp
