Woodcarver's Crafting Rules

Tool Proficiency Needed: Woodcarver's Tools

Learning Recipes

At the start of the campaign or whenever the player character gains proficiency in Woodcarver's Tools, they can pick a number of common recipes to learn equal to their current proficiency bonus (this varies with background for starting characters). Arrow and bolt recipes count as separate recipes, though with the same ingredient requirements.

To learn additional recipes, the player character must buy recipes at vendors or loot them from quests.

Crafting DC

  • Common: 8 DC

  • Uncommon: 12 DC

  • Rare: 16 DC


Arrows & Bolts

For the purposes of crafting, each of these recipes on the list count as two different recipes: an Arrow recipe and a Bolt recipe. Learning the recipe for an arrow does not give the player its bolt recipe counterpart!

Arrow/Bolt Crafting Time

Crafting a recipe takes time, which scales with the rarity of the recipe:

  • Common: 20 minutes

  • Uncommon: 2 hours

  • Rare: 4 hours
