Notes: I have a love/hate relationship with magic shields. Still, mechanical throughput issues notwithstanding, this is a dope item. As such, the crafting method should feel equally cool and epic. In this case, we’re back to an oil. I know I go to it a lot, but it’s versatile and fits different crafting methods.

Creating Magic Items In 5e

• The crafting location contribution bonus now counts as progress towards building an artisan’s tool proficiency and expertise.
• Gaining expertise now requires 15,000 GP(up from 10,000 GP) worth of crafting contributions.
• Defined who is able to imbue magical items(magic users or non-magic users who have satisfied special conditions defined by the DM)

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Although this crafting system leverages many existing mechanics published under the 5e SRD and OGL, the final product is completely home-brewed. The finer details of this system are still being revised, and those changes will slowly be introduced into this document. However, the system as a whole is totally functional and ready to be used in any campaign. Furthermore, the rules and concepts discussed are intended to work in-tandem with the expanded artisan's tools rules found in Xanathar's Guide to Everything. If nothing else I hope this document and its siblings can be used as a source of guidance and inspiration for whatever crafting system you decide to go with.

There are a lot of things that players and DMs disagree on when it comes to 5th edition. Should natural 1s and 20s matter on ability checks? Should we use critical hit tables in our campaign? Does Eldritch Blast need to be removed from the game?

In fact, we disagree on so many things, it seems miraculous we can finish a fight in a four-hour session. Still, there’s one thing I think nearly all participants in a 5th edition D&D campaign can agree on: the base crafting rules provided by Wizards of The Coast need some help.

Now, Now, Let’s Keep Things Positive

The reason I put this system in place was to add a bit more structure and depth to the existing rules. I wanted a system that was consistent and flexible, but still true to 5th edition’s theme of keeping things simple.

As you read on, you may notice my system has some similarities to the standard crafting system. Despite the shortcomings of the existing system, I did my best to leverage the parts that did work. The end result allows players to create items faster, involves more dice rolling, gives players access to tool proficiencies, and allows them to boost these proficiencies over time.

One Last Thing

Before we dig into the nitty-gritty, I think it’s important to explain what this crafting system is not.

This system will NOT feature a matrix of tables containing crafting materials and spell effects based on item type. This system does its best to utilize RAW items and mechanics wherever possible. The intent is to improve on the existing rules without adding excessive bookkeeping.

With that out of the way, let’s break this down.

System Overview

At a basic level, crafting any item using our system has 5 requirements:

1. A Lead Artisan – one artisan who is proficient with the crafting tool required to craft the item and meets the minimum level requirements to craft the item. This section has some minor differences from the original rules.
2. Crafting Materials – The materials the instructions call for, mundane or otherwise. Mundane items should cost roughly 50% of the item’s market value, and magic items should cost 100%. This section is basically the same as the original rules, but I added some clarification on what the artisans are spending their money on during the crafting process for magical items.
3. Means of Production – Some crafting processes only require the crafting kit, but others may require special equipment, like a forge. Magical items can also require special conditions for the item to be made. This section is similar to the original rules, but I added some structure to the mechanics around crafting locations.
4. Instructions – Either memorized instructions or a written blueprint/recipe detailing the materials and the process. This section is nearly identical to the original rules.
5. Labor – Once all four of the previous conditions are satisfied, the crafting process can begin. The artisans work in 8 hour increments to contribute progress measured in GP. This section is heavily modified from the original rules.

Now, each requirement in more detail.

Requirement 1: The Lead Artisan

Crafting an item requires one artisan with proficiency in the crafting tool associated with the item. The artisan also needs to meet the minimum level requirement to craft the item. This person serves as the Lead Artisan on the project, contributing to the item’s construction and enabling apprentice artisans to contribute. As long as you have a Lead Artisan, members of the party who are not proficient in the tool required, or do not meet the minimum player level, are still able to contribute to the crafting process.

The only requirement to craft mundane items (those in Chapter 5 of The Player’s Handbook) is tool proficiency. Mundane items have no level restriction.

Magic items, on the other hand, require the Lead Artisan to meet a level requirement based on the rarity of the item being created. A table detailing this information can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide on page 129, but for your convenience I’ve included it here:

Item Rarity	Minimum Player Level
Common	3rd
Uncommon	3rd
Rare	6th
Very Rare	11th
Legendary	17th

Requirement 2: Crafting Materials

For mundane items, the crafting materials can be acquired anywhere adventuring gear can be purchased. The standard price of materials is 50% of the value of the final item. Discounts to material costs can be obtained by making deals with local guilds and suppliers. These discounts are assessed at the DM’s discretion.

Magical effects are added to items by using gemstones to imbue the items with magical essence. The gemstones required and method of imbuing are determined by the crafting recipe. The spells required in the imbuing process are also determined by the crafting instructions, all of which are ultimately designed by the DM.

On top of gemstones, there may be other special materials required. For example: an Adamantium Breastplate may require the player to acquire a set amount of adamantium. The overall cost and/or difficultly of acquiring said items is also determined by the DM.

Any materials required beyond the gemstones must be crafted at full cost. The final combined cost of a magical item is set by the DM, but should be derived from the item’s rarity.

The item rarity table can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide on page 129, but I’ve included it here as well:

Item Rarity	Minimum Creation Cost
Common	100 GP
Uncommon	500 GP
Rare	5,000 GP
Very Rare	50,000 GP
Legendary	500,000 GP

Detailed examples of the cost structure can be found in Requirement 4: Instructions.

Requirement 3: Means of Production

At a basic level, the means of production for any crafting process are the crafting tools (with or without proficiency) and a crafting location. Most crafting projects do not require a location, but all can benefit from the use of a crafting location. Crafting locations confer a standard bonus detailed by the table below, but at the DM’s discretion players can find, construct, or utilize inferior/superior crafting locations capable of granting a greater bonus.

Artisan’s Tools	Crafting Requirements	Ideal Crafting Location	Ideal Location Bonus
Alchemist’s Supplies	Access to fire	Lab	+10 GP
Brewer’s Supplies	Access to a brewery	Brewery	+10 GP
Calligrapher’s supplies	None	Studio	+10 GP
Carpenter’s Tools	Access to a workshop	Workshop	+10 GP
Cartographer’s Tools	None	Studio	+10 GP
Cobbler’s Tools	None	Workshop	+10 GP
Cook’s Utensils	Access to fire	Kitchen	+10 GP
Glassblower’s Tools	Access to fire	Studio	+10 GP
Jeweler’s Tools	None	Studio	+10 GP
Leatherworker’s Tools	None	Workshop	+10 GP
Mason’s Tools	Access to workshop	Workshop	+10 GP
Painter’s Supplies	None	Studio	+10 GP
Poisoner’s Kit	None	Lab	+10 GP
Potter’s Tools	Access to fire	Studio	+10 GP
Smith’s Tools	Access to forge	Forge	+10 GP
Tinker’s Tools	Access to Workshop	Workshop	+10 GP
Weaver’s Tools	None	Studio	+10 GP
Woodcarver’s Tools	None	Workshop	+10 GP

The process of imbuing an item with magical properties requires a connection to the magical weave. All spellcasters by default are able to interface with the weave and as a result can assist with imbuing an item. At the DM’s discretion non-casters such as barbarians can eventually learn to imbue magical items, but this is typically obtained through either extensive training, or through special circumstances such as divine intervention.

Requirement 4: Instructions

For mundane items, the instructions requirement is met simply by having a Lead Artisan proficient in the tool required to construct the item.

For magical items, the instructions typically come in the form of a written recipe. Recipes can be given out as quest rewards or found in the course of exploration. An NPC with knowledge of the item could also serve as a Lead Artisan, enabling you to craft the item.

EXAMPLE: Crafting a Doss Lute

Recipe: Doss Lute
Item Rarity: Uncommon
Total Material Cost: 1035 GP
Mundane Item To Be Crafted: Lute
Gemstones/Special Materials Required: 3x Coral, 7x Pearl
Spells Required: Fly, Invisibility, Levitate, Protection From Evil and Good, Animal friendship, Protection from Energy, Protection from Poison

Crafting Instructions: A magic user must imbue each of the pearls with the 7 spells required by the recipe. The pearls are then set underneath each of the 7 bars in the lute. The 3 coral must then be imbued with magical force (no specific spell required). The coral is then set into the base of the chamber.

This example is for demonstration only; ultimately it is up to the DM to determine how to fulfill this requirement. This same item in a different campaign could have totally different crafting requirements.

Requirement 5: Labor

One crafting session lasts 8 hours. At the end of 8 hours, the progress in GP of the item(s) being crafted advances by each artisan’s individual crafting progression plus the location bonus.

The base crafting rate for mundane items is 5 GP. The base crafting rate for imbuing magical items is 25 GP.

Artisans proficient in the tools being used roll a proficiency die at the end of a crafting session and multiply the result by 5 to determine how much extra GP progress is added. The proficiency dice table used can be found on page 263 of the Dungeons Master Guide, and here:

Character Level	Proficiency Die
1st – 4th	1d4
5th – 8th	1d6
9th – 12th	1d8
13th – 16th	1d10
17th – 20th	1d12

Crafting Dnd 5e

When crafting magical items, magic users participating in the imbuing process do not need to have proficiency in the artisan’s tools. However, if they are proficient in the tools, they may add their proficiency roll multiplied by 5 to the imbuing process at the end of an 8 hour session.

An apprentice participating in the crafting process who is not proficient in the tools required can eventually gain proficiency. Once an apprentice has contributed 500 GP worth of crafting contributions using a single set of artisan’s tools, they gain proficiency in those tools. An apprentice only gains proficiency progress when assisting in the crafting of mundane items. Crafting progress gained while creating artwork is also counted, however a different set of crafting rules are used in the artwork creation process. Contributions provided by imbuing a magical item do not count towards the initial process of gaining tool proficiency.

Over time, as an artisan hones their skills, they can eventually become an expert at their craft. Once the artisan has contributed 15,000 GP worth of progress using a single set of tools, they’ve achieved expertise in those tools. Expertise allows the artisan to roll an additional proficiency die when using said tools. All crafting progress utilizing a tool the artisan is proficient with, including creating artwork and imbuing magical items, counts towards the 15,000 GP total.

Crafting Formula Example: 4 Players Crafting Plate Mail

If four artisans were building a plate mail and there was one expert artisan(PC level 4), one proficient artisan(PC level 3), and two apprentices(PC Level 3); the daily GP progress formula would be as follows:

[5 + 2d4 * 5](Expert Artisan) + [5+1d4 * 5](Proficient Artisan) + 5(Apprentice Artisan) + 5(Apprentice Artisan) +10(Location Bonus) = 20 + 3d4 * 5(37.5 Average) + 10 = ~67.5 GP/day

Finally there is currently no defined limitation on how many artisans can contribute to a single project. It is at the DM’s discretion to decide if the number of artisans on a project is reasonable.

In Conclusion

I believe the above system does a good job of enriching the RAW crafting system. The bookkeeping and table referencing is kept to a minimum, and it’s simple enough that any DM can pick it up and immediately apply it to their campaign.

As I see the system in practice in my own campaign, I will make minor updates to the rules. However, the concepts used in the rules above should remain mostly unchanged, and I encourage DMs to tweak the system to fit their needs.

In folklore, a major part of any magic item's mystique is the tale of its creation. With the dynamic magic item creation system, the crafting of magic items becomes a quick but interesting story in which the whole party can participate. Items created in this way have unusual properties that lend them character and remind the PCs of the choices they made during item creation.

Overview

The magic item creation system in this section divides the creation of magic items (other than potions and scrolls) into a series of challenges that the creators try to overcome. These challenges represent either setbacks or opportunities in the course of the creation process. The first and final challenges in the process are the same for every item: preparing the vessel and completing the item.

Between those steps, the characters face a number of random challenges. Having more challenges means it's more likely that an item will have unexpected properties, for good or ill. It also makes the item's creation more expensive or time consuming on average for less skilled characters, and conversely the process will likely be cheaper and faster for a highly skilled party.

Item Rarity

The creation of a magic item is a long and expensive task. The creator must be a spellcaster of a minimum level determined by the item's rarity, and be able to cast any spells that the item will be able to use. Crafting an item also requires the creator to be proficient with an applicable set of artisan's tools (for example, smith's tools for a sword or jeweler's tools for a fine ring). The item's rarity also determines the base creation cost of the item and the number of random challenges the creator will face.

Item Rarity	Minimum Crafter Level	Base Cost	Base Time	Random Challenges	Task DC Adjustment
Common	3rd	100 gp	1 day	1	—
Uncommon	3rd	500 gp	3 days	1	+2
Rare	6th	5000 gp	7 days	2	+4
Very Rare	11th	50,000 gp	21 days	4	+6
Legendary	17th	500,000 gp	70 days	8	+8

Challenges

Each challenge the PCs face represents a setback or opportunity in the magic item creation process. This system assumes that the PCs involved are gathering exotic ingredients, searching through the notes of others who have crafted similar items, and dealing with unexpected mystical variables. It allows the entire party to participate, so anyone who wishes to help counts as a creator.

Attempting Challenges

Each challenge presents two tasks. One creator can choose a single task to attempt, or two creators can each choose to do a different task. For example, when faced with a sesquipedalian elucidation challenge, a wizard might rely on her own arcane vocabulary and make an Intelligence (Arcana) check, while a rogue would have to pull out a dictionary and attempt an Intelligence (Investigation) check.

This choice of tasks to attempt must be made before rolling any associated checks. Creators cannot work together on a single item creation task. Some tasks don't require checks, but present other conditions for success. If a creator takes on such a task, it must be completed before attempting a task that involves a check.

The number of tasks attempted and their success or failure determines the outcome of the challenge, as detailed below.

Item Crafting Dnd 5e

One Task Attempted	Both Tasks Attempted	Challenge Result
—	Succeed at both	Critical success
Succeed	Succeed at one and fail the other by less than 5	Success
Fail	Succeed at one and fail the other by 5 or more	Failure
—	Fail both	Critical failure

Paying for the Item

The default cost for item creation with this method is 85% of the item's base creation cost. Various challenges can raise and lower this amount. A party encountering and critically succeeding at a large number of challenges can likely bring the cost below 50%.

Before attempting the first challenge, the PCs purchase the initial materials by spending 25% of the item's base creation cost. As part of the final challenge, the PCs must pay the remaining amount, accounting for any adjustments.

The PCs can abandon an item at any time. They don't have to pay the remaining amount, but they can't use the materials from one attempt on another item.

Adjustments

The first challenge, preparing the vessel, sets some base statistics for the new magic item. Further challenges can cause adjustments to the magic item. The DM can create her own challenges, and should consider the DCs of the challenge's tasks when deciding adjustments. Challenges with lower DCs should typically have benefits that merely avoid negative adjustments, while challenges with higher DCs should be more likely to add beneficial adjustments.

Where indicated, uncommon items add +2 to the DC of a check, rare items add +4, very rare items add +6, and legendary items add +8.

Cost: Challenges that adjust the cost increase or decrease the crafting cost by increments of 5% of the base creation cost. The cost can go over 100%, meaning the item would cost more to make than its market value. The final cost can never be lower than the initial 25% investment; the characters can't get a refund of that expenditure.

Time: Challenges may add or subtract the number of remaining days of work required to create the item. When this happens, adjust the timing of challenges accordingly. The total number of days of work can never decrease below 1, nor can it decrease below the number of days the characters have already spent crafting the item.

Perks, Quirks, and Flaws: A challenge may add a beneficial perk, a somewhat neutral quirk, or a detrimental flaw to the item. These three types of adjustments give an item a distinct flavor that sets it apart from others of its kind. The DM should secretly roll for perks, quirks, and flaws as they occur, rerolling duplicate or contradictory results.

Destruction: A few challenges can, if critically failed, destroy the in-progress item, which costs the PCs their current investment. Such challenges come with enticing benefits for critically succeeding, making them potentially worth the risk.

Base Challenges

The following two challenges bookend the dynamic magic item creation process. Preparing the vessel is always the first challenge, and completing the item is always last.

Prepare the Vessel

You must create or prepare an item to handle the magic you intend to instill within it.

Tasks
