Impiltur – The Forgotten Kingdom uses a modified version of Vulcano’s 3E Crafting System. Players are able to access the the crafting system for their characters through the Crafting Skills Radial Menu.

Crafting is completely optional, and characters do not have to craft items if they do not wish to.

Crafting Skills
The first time a players activates the crafting conversation in the Crafting Menu, you will be prompted to assign each of the three standard Bioware crafting skills (Craft Armor, Craft Weapon, and Craft Trap) to one of the seven available crafting skills. Once a player assigns the three skills and accept them, the skills cannot be changed, so it is advised that the player take the time to read the information given in the menu prior to making his or her selections. Each character can practice only three skills.

The crafting skill choices that may be selected are:

• Weapon Crafting
• Armor Crafting
• Blacksmithing
• Tailoring
• Jewelry Making
• Leatherworking
• Bowmaking

All crafting skills require the use of the proper crafting station which can be found throughout the module.

Crafting Feats
The crafting system also allows the creation of magical potions, scrolls, and other items by choosing the appropriate feats. Through the default BioWare system, Scribe Scroll, Brew Potion, and Craft Wand already exist. The system uses these feats, but also adds some additional.

Because there are no actual feats for the remaining crafting feats available in PnP, the crafting system makes use of feats that are available in NwN. Certain non-crafting feats have been assigned to do double duty with the crafting system. To gain the ability to perform one of the crafting system PnP crafting feats, you must choose its correlating NwN feat.

The crafting system feats and their correlating NwN feats are as follows:

• Brew Potion: Uses Brew Potion feat
• Scribe Scroll: Uses Scribe Scroll feat
• Craft Wand: Uses Craft Wand feat.
• Attune Gem: Uses the feat Spell Focus: Transmutation, and requires a caster level of 1.
• Craft Magical Arms and Armor: Uses the feat Weapon Focus: Club, and requires a caster level of 5.
• Forge Ring: Uses the feat Spell Focus: Abjuration, and requires a caster level of 12.
• Craft Staff: Uses the feat Skill Focus: Lore, and requires a caster level of 12.
• Craft Wondrous Item: Uses the feat Skill Focus: Spellcraft, and requires a caster level of 3.

Note: Craft Rod: Not permitted

All crafting feats, except Scribe Scroll and Attune Gem, require the use of the proper crafting station.

Crafting Materials
In general, crafting materials must either be gathered or purchased, and crafting tools must either be made by a blacksmith or purchased. Sometimes these items can be found.

Metals and Gems: Ores for weapons and jewelry must be mined out of minable rock found throughout the module. Ingots must be smelted out of ore in a Blacksmith’s Forge by a blacksmith. Rough gems must be mined or found, and then cut into finished gems at a Jeweler’s Bench. Precious metal ingots may be fashioned into jewelry at a Jeweler’s Bench.

Note: Mining is unskilled labor and requires the use of a Miner’s Pick or a Rock Hammer to extract resources from minable rocks.

Tailor’s Supplies: All tailor’s supplies must be purchased.

Leatherworking Supplies: Hides and Sinews may be taken from animals using a skinning knife. Tanning Salt and Tanning Oil must be purchased.

Bowyer’s Supplies: Sinews may be taken from animals using a skinning knife item. All other bowmaking materials must be purchased.

The following stations are publicly available to all:

• Weaponsmithing
