Crafter Skills

Crafters, rather than having a number of skills denoting what they can do, have a number of components that can be applied to weapons, shields, and armour to enhance their abilities. At the beginning of the adventure, you may attach your owned components as you would like, and you may rearrange your components once per adventure during the lunch encounter. When attaching or rearranging components, you are subject to the following restrictions:

• Each 1 handed weapon, shield, or suit of armour can carry two (2) components. Each 2 handed weapon, staff, or spear can carry three (3) components.
• In each encounter you may only use component calls from one suit of armour, and either two one handed weapons, one two handed weapon, or one one handed weapons and one shield.

Other than that you may apportion your components however you want. A component has two or three potential benefits: the calls it gives you when applied to a weapon, a modification to how component calls may be made with this weapon, and the calls given when applied to a shield or suit of armour. You cannot use a component for the “weapon modification” effect without the “Complex Interplay” skill.

Many crafter skills will allow you to select a component from the list below. You may only select components for which you have the corresponding “refine” skill. You may select the same component multiple times to obtain multiple copies of that component. This does not apply to Capstone Components, which can only be purchased once.
