Smithing

Smithing encompasses the ancient and respected craft of blacksmithing, allowing characters to forge and repair weapons, armor, and other metal tools. Smithing is an essential skill for adventurers who want to equip themselves with custom gear or maintain their equipment in the heat of a long campaign. A skilled smith can craft everything from razor-sharp blades and durable shields to intricate chainmail and heavy plate armor, combining raw materials into finely tuned instruments of survival and combat. With access to rare metals and magical components, Smithing can even produce legendary items infused with extraordinary properties.

Smithing thrives in both the practical and creative aspects of gameplay. Characters may spend their Downtime at the forge, crafting weapons to suit specific challenges or repairing damaged equipment for their party. Quests for rare ores, such as star-forged steel or volcanic obsidian, add an element of adventure to the craft, while the process of designing and enhancing gear provides opportunities for customization and strategic planning. Beyond its mechanical benefits, Smithing also fosters roleplay, allowing players to create meaningful connections to their crafted items or take on the role of a master craftsman in the world’s economy. In The Land, where the strength of one’s blade or armor can mean the difference between victory and defeat, mastery of Smithing gives characters the tools to shape their own destiny.
