Masterwork Equipment

Sometimes a skilled smith can create a masterpiece. Whether it is supremely balanced, sharpened to a razor’s edge, or crafted special for an individual, these pieces are perfect in some way. A weapon feels as an extension of the arm, armour feels like a second skin, and tools blend seamlessly with the artisan’s skill. Mastercrafted equipment is rare to find as few have the skill to create it.

Crafting a Masterwork Item
Masterwork equipment can be crafted by craftsmen what has proficiency with the required tools to create the equipment in question. In order to craft such a weapon, they must succeed on a DC 30 tools check with their required tools. If the crafting takes multiple weeks, then they make the check at the end of the crafting process. Making masterwork weapons follows the same rules as crafting regular equipment, but the cost of Masterwork equipment is 3x the cost of its mundane version. For example, a masterwork greatsword would have a gold value of 150GP, meaning it would take three weeks to craft at 50GP per week.

Weapons
A Mastercrafted weapon allows you to add half your proficiency bonus (rounded down) to the damage of an attack roll.

Armour
A set of Mastercrafted armour offers a different bonus based off of its type. Light armor can be used by a creature that is not proficient in it as if they were. Medium armor reduces the weight by 1/4th and removes the disadvantage on stealth checks. Heavy armor reduces the weight by 1/4th and lowers the strength requirement by two.

Tools
A set of Mastercrafted tools offer a +1 bonus to skill checks made with those tools.

Magic Items
Items can be both masterwork and magical. In order for an equipment to be made magical and masterwork it has to be made from scratch. The check for masterwork is made at the end of the crafting process when the magic item has been finished. If you fail on the masterwork check, you still get the finished item, however it will not be a masterwork.
