	You are skilled at making things. Different craftsmen make different kinds of objects. For a heroic character crafts come easily, and you will often surpass ordinary craftsmen in proficiency and diversity. Thus, the craft fields given here are very broad. Most professional craftsmen are much more specialized that this. Still, the Crafts profession is divided into a number of fields or specialties. Each is a separate profession that must be learned separately, but the Handyman talent gives a feat bonus to all crafts.		You are skilled at making things.

			Crafts can be used to aid all creation rituals for appropriate objects. Craft skills can also be used to create suitable presents meant for particular people; a well-crafted and suitable present can give a +2 bonus on social interaction rolls against the recipient. The DC of making a fitting present is the Will defense of the target.

			== Magic Item Creation ==

			A trained craftsman can make magic items appropriate to his craft. A smith makes swords, a leatherworker leather armor and so on. Crafting magic items can be part of an an adventure, but can take as little as an hour if everything comes together.

			In game terms, magic item creation works like the Enchant Magic Item ritual, but only for items appropriate to the Craft skill in question.

			<!--

	~~== General rules ==~~		It is done in three steps.
	~~:''General rules for making mundane and magic items~~.''

			# '''Inspiration:''' This step is governed by the player, who describes the source of inspiration or lore behind the magic. This is often tied to recent experiences; fighting a fire creature, seeing a vast waterfall or talking to a wise mystic might all serve as inspiration for different items. The inspiration stage also includes doing preliminary work, or perhaps just taking a half-finished item out of storage.
			# '''Component:''' Most of the material the craftsman needs will be simple and ordinary, but a magic tem always requires at least one extraordinary component. Examples include dragon scales, phoenix eggs, or the sound of a cat’s footfalls. The level of this challenge of this should be equal to the level of the item. Acquiring this component can be a small quest in itself, generally involving the entire party and giving a standard quest reward. The DM is encouraged to use this as an adventure hook.
			# '''All-Nighter:''' Finally, the item is finished in a long night of hectic work. This takes place during an extended rest, but the hard work costs you two healing surges from the next day. You must also expend materials with a value equal to the cost of the magic item you’re making.
