Variant Rules

Guidelines for Recipes

Prices are roughly based off of half the cost of consumables as found in the Sane Magical Prices and in the Dungeon Master's Guide.

Craft DCs and time typically follow these guideline:

The effects as listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide are assumed to be the Masterwork versions of those item, lower qualities provide less benefits either through functioning for a shorter amount of time or providing a lower bonus.

Liquids and potions typically require little to no attention unless working with dangerous poisons. Solids and powders require constant attention while crafting.

Types of Structures

You can build a variety of wooden structures and objects with your Carpenter's Tools, each structure requires a different amount of time and total cost. The cost of each structure can be paid for over time, and you can always go back and work on your structure at a later date. See the chart Structures and Objects on the next page for more information.

Defensive Wall

The defensive wall is a structure built in a quick time frame to help protect from invaders. Each defensive wall built consists of two: 10-foot by 10-foot by 6-inches thick walls, with AC 12 and 25 HP per inch of thickness.

Alternatively, you can decrease the thickness of a panel to 3" and have a wall that is 10-foot by 20-foot.

Only a character proficient in Carpenter's Tools, and has their tools available, can build a defensive wall, though others can help with an effect determined by the DM.

Wooden Palisade

This cheap palisade can be quickly erected and is used to slow down and funnel attacking armies. Each palisade built consists of a 10-foot by 10-foot by 2-inches thick wall, with AC 10 and 15 HP per inch of thickness.

Only a character proficient in Carpenter's Tools, and has their tools available, can build a defensive wall, though others can help with an effect determined by the DM.

Objects

When building objects, the examples in the Object graph are just the base examples without anything fancy added on. At the DM's discretion, they may determine it costs more gold to input pearl veneers or that it will take more days for you to put in intricate wood carveings into the legs of a chair.

Spells

Certain spells can be used to help speed up, and even reduce, the cost of building your structures.

Variant: Setbacks

When building a structure, sometimes problems can come up that aren't foreseen. At the DMs discretion, you can roll on the Setback chart below.

These setbacks are just natural parts of working on a structure, and normally are absorbed by the costs of materials. This is a great way for the DM to create set ups for quests, maybe the creatures stealing materials are skeletons that have been ordered to rebuild part of their underground tomb by a necromancer. Or there is supernatural weather at work stopping any shipments of materials from coming through, and its up to the party to figure out why 5-feet of snow dropped in the middle of summer.

Castle Walls

These walls offer jutting bricks and rough mortar as small handholds to assist in your climb. A climber must succeed on a DC 5 Strength (Athletics) check to move 100 feet up its surface.

Waterfalls

Forced to climb up a waterfall, the crashing water is constantly trying to knock you off and dash you on the rocks below. A climber must succeed on a DC 15 Strength (Athletics) check to force themselves up against the thundering water and its slippery handholds. If a climber does not have any gear to assist in the climb, like boot tips, they have disadvantage on any checks to climb up its slippery surface. If you have the appropriate equipment, you do not suffer disadvantage on the climb.

Violent Storm

As you are climbing up a surface, a storm has erupted around you. With winds threatening to rip you off the surface, you must fight hard to climb up the slippery walls and not fall to your death. The DC for climbing is the base DC of the wall you are climbing plus an increase to the DC by 5, 10 or 15 depending on how bad the storm is.

A light rain only makes the surface slippery increasing the base DC by 5. A storm with winds up to 10 MPH increases the base DC by 10, while a raging storm with winds reaching up to 20 MPH increases the DC by 15. If the climber is trying to attempt a climb during a hurricane or similar weather event, the DC might increase even more or become impossible depending on the situation.

Boot tips and similar climbing gear is required in order to not have disadvantage on climbing up the surface. If you have the appropriate equipment, you do not suffer disadvantage.

If an engraving requires attunement, it causes the item to require being attuned that it is engraved upon. A magic item can not be engraved, though there is said to be sets of magical engraver's tools that allow an engraver to work on magic items.

Variant Rules

Lures

There are a huge variety of fishing lures available, some hide hooks within pieces of vegetation while others are wooden shapes that resemble small minnows. Each lure is said to attract different fish, and if you have the wrong lure you may be unable to catch what you are hoping for.

Most fish can just be caught with the usual hooks and bait that comes with fishing tackle, though specific types of fish may require different lures as determined in their statistics. A few specialized lures are detailed below.

If your line or rod breaks, the lure is lost unless you can find it either in a fish's mouth or stomach, or on the bottom of the waterway you are fishing in.

Errata

Gems & Beads

When creating jewelry, you may wish to add in gems or beads to increase the beauty of your creations. This increases your material cost based on the quality and quantity of gems and beads you wish to add.

A project can never be Simple if you are including gems or beads, and depending on the quantity you are adding it may make the project Intricate.

Typically, beads will only be 1 cp per wooden bead or 1 sp per glass bead, pearls can range in price from 1 gp to 100 gp.

Fabricate Spell

The Fabricate spell can help you create your pieces of jewelry, though you must be proficient with Jeweler's Tools in order to use the spell. When you cast the spell, you can only affect one type of material per casting of the spell and can be used to create golden rings, silver earrings or other projects with a single source of material.

If you wish to add beads or gems to your projects, you must put those in and depending on the quantity of gems may only require an hour to multiple days of work, per the DM's discretion. When adding in gems or beads, you must make a check for every 8 hours of work against the DC of the project.

Restoring Old Jewelry

During your adventures you may find tarnished jewelry or jewelry missing gems, beads or other decorations. You must determine how much needs to be repaired, no check required, and it will take you up to half the time it would normally take to create the jewelry depending on the condition of the jewelry. If the item is missing gems or jewels, you must provide gems to fill in those empty slots, and if there is missing silver inlays, you must be able to procure the required silver.

Weight and Materials

The above examples do not take into account that the project weighs 10 lbs, but some of that might come from the jewels that are set into it. The idea being towards simplicity and not getting bogged down in exact weights for jewels, gems and beads. Per the DM's discretion, the weight of a jewel may be great enough to offset the cost of the base materials.

Player's Handbook Equipment

Defensive Wall

The defensive wall is a structure built in a quick time frame to help protect from invaders. Each defensive wall built consists of two: 10-foot by 10-foot by 6-inches thick walls, with AC 15 and 30 HP per inch of thickness.

Armies would quickly build several of these across a battlement in the hopes of a more favorable fortification, though wooden palisades are a cheaper option for armies not staying in one sport for very long.

Alternatively, you can decrease the thickness of a panel to 3" and have a wall that is 10-foot by 20-foot.

Only a character proficient in Mason's Tools, and has their tools available, can build a defensive wall, though others can help with an effect determined by the DM.

Large Structures and Teams

Some structures are so large that you could have multiple wings of it being worked on at one time, like a Large Castle. Per the DM's discretion, you can hire multiple teams to work on different parts of the structure at the same time, though each team is limited to the same maximum number of workers as the structure permits. These teams can help build sections faster, but it may not be available if the structure is not large enough.

Spells

Certain spells can be used to help speed up, and even reduce, the cost of building your structures.

Variant: Setbacks

When building a structure, sometimes problems can come up that aren't foreseen. At the DMs discretion, you can roll on the Setback chart below.

These setbacks are just natural parts of working on a structure, and normally are absorbed by the costs of materials. This is a great way for the DM to create set ups for quests, for maybe the creatures stealing materials are skeletons that have been ordered to rebuild part of their underground tomb by a necromancer. Or there is supernatural weather at work stopping any shipments of materials from coming through, and its up to the party to figure out why 5-feet of snow dropped in the middle of summer.

Determining Number of Successes

Once you roll your dice pool, you then count the number of 1s you rolled, those are your successes for the performance and go towards the amount of money you make for the performance as well as increases your popularity in the city.

The more 1s you roll, the more successful your performance and the more that people will remember you and spread your name around the city. This type of popularity may provide additional benefits not mentioned here, like people recognizing you on the street or inviting you to play private parties, per the DM's discretion.

Popularity

Your popularity determines what establishments will excitedly allow you to play at their venue, as well as how much you could expect to get paid for performing at those establishments. Consult the Popularity chart for more information.

The DM may determine that you can play at higher-end establishments, even if your popularity isn't high enough, so long as you can pay or bribe your way onto the stage. In this case, they may also determine to increase the size of your dice pool by one or more.

Variant Rules

These rules can help provide more challenges or provide different ways of affecting performances.

Failed Performances

If you roll your dice pool and have no successes, then your performance was received so negatively that the audience began turning against you. You suffer a penalty to your Popularity Score equal to the number of dice you rolled whose results were the highest result on the die.

If you roll 10d8, and had no 1s in the dice pool, you failed the check. You then lose a number of popularity equal to the number of 8s you rolled in the dice pool.
