The tools include a blowpipe, a small marver, ladles, blocks, shears and tweezers. You need a source of high heat to work glass.
Your tools weigh 7 lbs and costs 30 gp.
Sourcing Glass
Before you can begin to shape your glass, you first need a source of glass to melt and form. This can be in the form of cullets, recycled broken or waste glass, or finding existing glass work and melting it down.
Furnace
In order to properly work your glass, you will need a furnace capable of reaching extreme temperatures of 1,575 °C (2,867 °F). For this purpose, unless great pains are made to bring a furnace with you on your travels that can be heated in a short order, you can only work on larger projects in a large city with an available glass shop. You may need to rent out time at the glass shop, or work there part time to use their facilities.
If you only have a campfire available, you can work very small bits of glass into rudimentary shapes but are unable to create the items presented here.
Glass Projects
So long as you are proficient with Glassblower's Tools, you can create a variety of glass shapes with your tools. If you spend 8 hours working in a glass shop with your tools on hand, you can create a number of projects equal to your Dexterity modifier plus your Proficiency Bonus in a day of work.
Mundane Projects
You can easily create mundane projects while working with your tools and in a glass shop. Mundane glass projects include Vials, pots, bowls, cups, silverware and other simple objects. When create mundane objects, you can create twice as many objects as you normally can and requires no check.
Exotic Projects
Some projects are more complicated or requires more attention to detail. Exotic projects include glass darts, glass weapons, glass plates for armor and even glass grenades. For each project you work on, it requires you succeed on a Dexterity (Glassblower's Tools) Check or you fail that project and must start again.
Cooling Down
All projects require a day of slowly cooling down to room temperature before they can be used. If a project is not given a day to cool down, the item is broken and can not be used.
Oversized Projects
Per the DMs discretion, some glass projects may take longer to create and count as multiple projects to work on during the day. Any project that counts as two or more projects must be worked on in a single day.
Exotic Projects
There are several different exotic projects you can create while at the shop, as detailed below. Each project requires a successful Dexterity (Glassblower's Tools) check or the project is failed. At the end of the day all projects must then cool down in a special furnace for a full day, or be broken. The cost listed with the item is the cost of glass pellets and can be ignored if you are able to supply your own glass.
The cost to rent space in a glass shop is 5 gp per day, this covers the cost of wood to be burned in the furnace and assistants to work the furnaces, they do not grant advantage on any of your checks in the shop.
