Production
Each production item has a rank, and that rank affects the cost and time required create the item In Game as well the Production Point cost of the Item. In the case of Runes and Potions, the rank is based on the spell’s level, shown on the table on this page. Each Event, a character can produce several basic items at Check In with production points (no components are used), as long as they have the Recipe. The character is limited to items within the ranks known by the character for check-in production. Each rank of a production skill grants the character 3 Production Points each Event, for that skill.
Once in game, a character can produce more items at an appropriate workshop as long as they also have a Recipe and Components by spending 5 minutes per rank of the item working for items. Creation cost will be noted on the individual recipes. Creation time can never be lowered further than 1 minute per item rank and may only be reduced if the character has the rank required for the item. Once a character has finished crafting, they must go to the marshal station and turn over the components and present the recipe to receive the item tag(s).
At character creation, a character will start with 1 Recipe for each rank of a single crafting skill they have.
A character, with the appropriate rank of a given Production skill, can create a copy of a Recipe they have access to by spending 15 minutes copying it. The cost to copy a Recipe is equal to the normal Component cost of the recipe to be copied.
Workshops can be acquired in-game by either being created or purchasing them. Only Minor workshops can be purchased, Standard and Major workshops are built in place and cannot be moved once built. Smithing and Engineering require a Forge, Brew Potion and Chemistry require a Laboratory, and Scribe Rune requires a Reliquary.
Ore- Used for Smithing and Engineering
Herbs- Used for Chemistry and Potions
Residuum- Used for Potions and Runes

Deficit crafting:
A character who has purchased the first rank of any production skill may create any item within that production skill even items that denote a rank higher than the character possesses. All be it at a penalty in both time and resource. Any skills, abilities, or other effects that augment crafting may NOT be applied to deficit crafting.
Crafting time for deficit crafting will be adjusted as follows: the level of deficit will be counted and have a base of one added to it. This new total will be multiplied against the base time required to craft the desired item.
Example: Gath has one rank of Smithing and wishes to craft a Large shield, a rank five item. With a deficit of 4 ranks (rank 5 item minus one rank of skill purchased) plus the one base gives him a total multiplier of 5. The base time for a rank 5 crafted item is 25 minutes (5min/rank of item) 5X25min= 125 minutes to craft a large shield with 1 rank of smithing. Sam has four ranks of smithing and could craft the rank five large shield at a deficit of 1 rank plus the base of one base giving a total multiplier of 2 multiplied by the base time of 25min. for a total time of 50 minutes crafting time.
Crafting cost will also be adjusted for deficit crafting. The base cost of the item will always apply and any adjustment made under this section will be in addition to the base cost. Coast adjustment is also scaled off of the deficit without a base modifier added to it.
The scale is as follows:
One rank deficit: 25% cost increase
Two rank deficit: 50% cost increase
Three rank deficit: 75% cost increase
Four rank deficit: 100% cost increase
All percentage cost increase are rounded to a whole number in the players favor minimum increase of 1.
Example: The cost adjustment for Gath the rank one smith to craft a rank five large shield would be 200% (double) the listed cost on the recipe used. Where as Sam has four ranks of smithing, so she could craft a rank five large shield for 125% the listed cost on the recipe.
ENGINEERING
Engineering allows a character to create locks, traps, bombs, and other technological devices. Unless otherwise stated, you must have the rank of Engineering equal to the production rank of the item in order to use it.
Bombs- These are thrown items and require the use of a packet, preferably red. To throw the bomb the player must announce “Elemental Bomb”. Since it is an actual item they are throwing, they must have a free hand with which to throw the Bomb and once the verbal has been said they have 3 seconds to throw the Bomb or it is wasted. Bombs function much like spells in that they affect the target if it strikes any part of them, their garb, or possessions.
Traps-An Engineer may construct traps which can be set or disarmed by anyone with Disable Device; though engineers can arm traps, so long as it is a trap they can construct, which takes 2 minutes. All traps must contain three elements (a trigger, a mechanism, and a device) and those elements must be connected to one another by wires or strings. The trigger is the means by which the trap is set off, and includes such things as pressure switches, tripwires, and electrical contacts. The mechanism is the means by which a Marshal (or players) knows the trap was triggered, and includes such things as buzzers, mousetraps, and light bulbs. The device is the part of the trap that actually inflicts the Effect on the victims and is the point from which any distances are measured; unless otherwise stated traps have a 5 foot effect radius. A trap should not be set without Marshal Approval of the design of the trap. Traps cannot be set Out-of-Game by players without direct approval of a Marshal and should never be set Out-of-Game (by a player or Marshal) in such a way that a character could not have set them. Setting a trap In-Game requires that the player actually set up the props for the trigger, mechanism, and device, as well as complete a 30 second Counted Action to arm the trap. (The actual set-up of the props can be done during the Counted Action, or before, or any combination thereof, but the set-up should not include arming the trap until the Counted Action is taken.) If this Counted Action is aborted, the setting character takes any effect during the Counted Action, or the mechanism of the trap is set off during the Counted Action, then the trap is set off by the person arming it.
A character with Disable Device may disarm a trap by any action which prevents the trigger from triggering, prevents the mechanism from indicating the trap has gone off, or severs the connection between the mechanism and the device. This should not be done in such a way as to permanently damage the prop for the trap. A trap that is armed is dangerous and can be set off by the slightest of actions including; being touched by a character without the Disable Device skill, being moved more than 5 feet from the initial arming location, and Shatter/Destroy effects on any part of a trap will cause that trap to go off.
Acid/Fire Trap This recipe allows a character with the Engineering Skill to create a basic trap. The device for this trap is a container prop which must have a volume of at least 8 cubic inches and be at least one-half inch in its smallest dimension. Any character within five feet of the device when the trap goes off takes damage delivered as “Elemental 10 Fire/Acid”. Anyone who takes this Damage Effect also suffers a Shatter effect on any exposed items not made of metal, bone, wood, or other hard materials. (Marshal judgment should include potions, pouches, cloth, components, scrolls, maps, globes, Bombs, etc.) An item inside a hardened container protects such items; items inside a non-hardened container (such as a leather pouch) protects the item if they are completely within, but not if any part of them is exposed. (The non-hardened container is destroyed either way.) Items within the area but not on persons are similarly affected. An Acid Trap or Fire Trap destroys itself when it goes off.
Alarm Trap This recipe allows a character with the Engineering skill to create an Alarm trap. The device for this trap is something capable of producing loud noise or bright lights. For this type of trap the mechanism and the device can be the same item. The device should be made as appropriate to the game environment as possible. A Shatter or Destroy effect on the device of an Alarm Trap will destroy it without setting it off. An Alarm Trap is not destroyed by use and can be reset or recovered to be re-used (unless damaged or otherwise destroyed.)
Cannon This recipe allows a character with the Engineering Skill to create a Cannon. This weapon is a multi-shot ranged weapon, with a maximum ammo capacity of 9 shots and has a base damage of 3. This can be repped by a Nerf style gun that fires foam darts. This weapon requires the Gun skill to use and 2 hands to operate.
Explosive Trap This recipe allows a character with the Engineering skill to create an Explosive Trap. The device for this trap is a container prop which must have a volume of at least sixty-four cubic inches and be at least 4 inch in its smallest dimension. Any character within five feet of the device when the trap goes off takes 10 points of damage. Anyone who takes this Damage Effect also has all valid items suffer a Shatter effect. Items within the area but not on persons are similarly affected.
Firebomb This recipe allows a character with the Engineering skill to create a basic bomb. This bomb is a thrown attack, and on hit, the target takes damage of the specified amount from fire and shrapnel when the bomb explodes. The call to use this bomb is “Elemental Firebomb”. Once the call is completed, the packet must be thrown within three seconds or the holder takes the effect. If the call is mis-stated, the bomb was improperly prepared and is destroyed.
Flashbomb This recipe allows a character with the Engineering skill to create a Flashbomb. This bomb is a thrown attack, and on hit, the target suffers the Blind effect for 10 seconds. The call to use this bomb is “Elemental Blind Bomb”. Once the call is completed, the packet must be thrown within three seconds or the holder takes the effect. If the call is mis-stated, the bomb was improperly prepared and is destroyed.
Grandmaster Gas Trap This recipe allows a character with the Engineering skill to create a Gas Trap. The device for this trap is a container prop which must have a volume of at least 48 cubic inches and be at least 2 inches in its smallest dimension. When setting this trap, the character setting the trap must tear tags for three Vials of the same type of Chemistry Vial. (The character need not have any skill in Chemistry.) Any character within 10 feet of the device when the trap goes off takes the effect of the Vial used. A Gas Trap is not destroyed when set off or disarmed, but the Vials included are. The trap itself may be recovered and reset with a new gas, unless otherwise damaged or destroyed.
Improved Tinker This recipe allows a character with the Engineering skill to create an Improved Tinker. Like Minor Tinkers, these improve mechanical items. If used on a trap, the time to arm the trap is either reduced to a 3 counted action or will increase the area of effect of the trap to 10 feet. If used on a lock, it will make the lock reactive, such that on a failed Disable Device attempt it will break the user’s Tools.

Locks This recipe allows a character with the Engineering Skill to create Locks and Keys. A Lock’s level can vary from 1 to beyond 20, creating higher level locks consumes more materials. The cost of a Lock is the Rank of the lock times the Level of the lock being crafted. When a Lock is created, it includes 2 Keys for that Lock; additional Keys can be made so long as the character making the new Key has one of the originals. The cost to make a Key is the same as a Tool of the appropriate rank. All Locks are crafted as either a Padlock or Container style. Padlock style can be used and moved over and over as they are not permanently attached to an item; however, Container style must be attached to a door, chest, or similar object, once attached it becomes a part of that object. A Lock that has been attached can never be removed; however, it also is no longer a valid target for Shatter and Destroy effects, since it is part of a larger whole.
Magnetized Plating This item can be applied by any character with the Engineering skill, this item will temporally Repair a suit of armor that has been Breached or a weapon that has been Broken. These effects will last for up to 1 hour or until the item is broken again. This takes a 30 counted action to apply to the targeted item.
Master and Grandmaster Locks These locks function the same as a normal lock however they require special Tools to Disable them. The tools must be of equal or higher quality to even attempt.
Master Gas Trap This recipe allows a character with the Engineering skill to create a Gas Trap. The device for this trap is a container prop which must have a volume of at least 24 cubic inches and be at least 1 inch in its smallest dimension. When setting this trap, the character setting the trap must tear tags for three Vials of the same type of Chemistry Vial. (The character need not have any skill in Chemistry.) Any character within 5 feet of the device when the trap goes off takes the effect of the Vial used. A Gas Trap is not destroyed when set off or disarmed, but the Vials included are. The trap itself may be recovered and reset with a new gas, unless otherwise damaged or destroyed.
Master’s Workings This recipe allows a character with the Engineering skill to make devices that are stronger than normal. This includes Locks, Tools, hinges, and any other appropriate plot-approved item. Such a reinforced device is more resistant to forces that would normally destroy the item. Each application gives the item one once-ever “Resist Shatter”; which can be called as a Resist to any Shatter or Destroy effect from a trap, spell, or other non-High Magic destructive force. An item may only have six such Resists; at one time. These share expiration with the item they reinforce.
Minor Tinker This recipe allows a character with the Engineering skill to create a Minor Tinker. Minor Tinkers are small improvements on existing mechanical items. If used on a trap, the time to arm the trap is reduced by 30 seconds minimum of a three counted action. If used on a Bomb, the damage is increased by 5 points of damage. If used on a lock, an extra 2 failures are added when Disable Device is used to pick the lock.
Pistol This recipe allows a character with the Engineering skill to create a Pistol. This item is a multi-shot ranged weapon, with a Max Load of 6 shots and has a base damage of 3. This can be repped by a Nerf style gun that fires foam darts. This weapon requires the Gun skill to use.
Smoke Bomb Trap This recipe allows a character with the Engineering skill to create a Smoke Bomb Trap. The device for this trap is a container prop which must have a volume of at least 48 cubic inches and be at least 2 inches in its smallest dimension. When triggered, this trap releases a large could of smoke that clears quickly. Any character within five feet of the device when the trap goes will suffer the Blind effect for 10 seconds. This trap is destroyed when it goes off.
Stun Bomb This recipe allows a character with the Engineering skill to create a Stun Bomb. This bomb is a thrown attack, and on hit, the target suffers the Stun effect for 10 minutes. The call to use this bomb is “Elemental Stun Bomb”. Once the call is completed, the packet must be thrown within three seconds or the holder takes the effect. If the call is mis-stated, the bomb was improperly prepared and is destroyed.
Tools This recipe allows a character with the Engineering skill to create Tools. Tools are necessary to use the Disable Device skill on Traps and Locks. Basic Tools do not grant any bonus on Disable Device Contested Rolls.
Weapon Trap This recipe allows a character with the Engineering skill to create a basic trap. The device for this trap is a boffer prop which must be at least 6 inches in its smallest dimension. Any character struck by the device takes 10 points of damage, delivered as a physical weapon attack. The device for a Basic Weapon Trap is a Marshal approved packet, boffer, or similar prop that must be rigged to fall, launch, or be mechanically thrown when the mechanism is activated. (In the case of a trap under direct Marshal Supervision, it is permissible for the Marshal to throw the device, but it must be done with the idea of mechanical launching in an indirect manner, or a direct manner at a pre-determined point, not aimed fire at a particular character. The first character struck by the device takes the Damage, as if the device were a normally swung/thrown weapon. (So the device may be blocked, parried, is considered a Physical delivered effect, etc…) A Shatter or Destroy effect on the device of a Weapon Trap will destroy it. A Weapon Trap is not destroyed by use and can be reset or recovered to be re-used (unless the device was damaged, destroyed, or removed).
