Not going to lie. I honestly love this. It gives a much greater use to most of those "Useless" tool kits

Very good system, Way to complex for 5E. Its reminiscent of 3E complicated crafting mechanics. But its even more complex.

This is a really nice document. Even without the crafting system, just the list of different consumables is great. One concern is that the crafting options have the potential to be extremely powerful and still too easy to obtain even with their limitations.

It should not be too difficult to adjust for this, but DMs should be aware that players fully utilizing these options will likely experience a jump in power.

One thing that I found unclear (and could be improved) is how is a player supposed to increase their crafting level? Does it just go up as the player's proficiency bonus increases? I found this unlear in the pdf.

Fantastic system and very easy to expand or change for your own campaign.

Excellent item. I recommend this as a great add to different ideas to make non-combat/non-explore time just that much more fun. Helps 1 of the 3 main pillars of 5e just that much better.

ok I have a questions one how would having the ritual caster feat or warlock book of shadow effect the usabiality of caligraphy scrolls if at all. . . . other then that I feel like I just need to see it used more

I had a feeling I these would be the crafting rules I found on reddit several months ago from user Artisan_Mechanicum (hopefully that is Ryan Hagan). This is a great tool that I have implemented in my game, my players seem to be excited about getting more out of their tool proficiency. The user has kindly separated each of the tools into 6 documents, 1 for each trade skill, for a less intimidating pdf at http://tinyurl.com/hnys466 or if you don't trust random links from strangers you can search reddit for "Six New Consumable Professions" that was submitted around Sept/Oct 2015. Again, cheers to the creator for this wonderful supplement.

This...looks....awesome! I got this, 5MWD Presents: Diseases & Poisons and Talona's Touch: Poisons of the Forgotten Realms to use together.

An excellent addition to the game. This product adds a unique and interesting function for those looking add semi-magical contraptions, potions and scroll to the game.

No play testing by myself has been done, but many effect mimic spells of similar level so a the balance tends to opeate on a similar level.

A highly enjoyable product with only a few minor editing issues and formating errors.

For a home game where the players want a meaningful crafting system this is a must have. Not all of the recipies are balanced and I might quibble over what sort of effects should be under which type of crafting, those things are easily changed to fit the DM's campaign. Very imaginative and flavorful. Great work!

The crafting system seems balanced, but the most amazing thing with this great product is the size of it ! A lot of fun for upcoming sessions as we try it out ! Keep up the good work

Positive: This impressive libram introduces us to a crafting system that is simple to learn but considerable to master. I actually got excited about crafting! The items presented here took no small amount of time to stat-out, and we are very fortunate to get this article for free!

Negative: I know formatting is difficult, but I agree with the complaints saying the appendicies are a little difficult to read. On lighter notes, some art would be really lovely. And too bad we don't see anything about cooking. :p

Overall: If you like to craft and you do not download this article, then you are a fool! I will keep this close to mind as I plan future campaigns!

I think the ideas put forth here are good, but it is very difficult to read some passages. Please proofread to make sure your sentences make sense.

I have been looking for a collection of balanced crafting recipes for home games. This provides a very large set that I can filter to suit any game. Thanks for your work!

This is... really, pretty good! While I may not agree with some of the designs here for their complexity, there's enough depth and decent balance for DMs to use when players want crafting beyond 5e's shallowness. There are a few places where the wording could be tightened up a bit ("When you make a Crafting skill check for brewing" in the Calligraphy section, for instance), though.

What I might suggest to get around the weird "subtract gold from your inventory" bit is to have a resource associated with a tool kit you have, that you can add to by buying them from an appropriate store or collecting appropriate ingredients. So you could say, spend 50 gp to have 50 gp of calligraphy resources, which is a pool you could subtract from when you craft with that tool. This avoids the pains of a more complex, piecemeal crafting system but also avoids the whole "you turned gold into alcohol" thing.
