Advanced Crafting and Enchanting Guide
Publisher: Dungeon Masters Guild by Bryan H. [Verified Purchaser]	Date Added: 10/30/2018 11:03:10

Provides depth and customization not currently found on equipment in 5e. That's great if you're looking for such rules, but it's not written with the 5e simplicity ethos in mind. Overall if one player at the table wants to use these rules and others dont, they'll eventually feel inferior for not using them due to how things are balanced mechanically.

Thank you for the feedback. You are absolutely correct in your assesment regarding the lack of the simplicity found in vanilla 5e. The goal of this system is to provide a hard, mechanical method for allowing PCs to use their tool proficiencies to craft their own items. So, it is rather crunchy compared to other 5e mechanics. Do keep in mind that 5e is a team-based game. This system was created because I have a player who wanted to play a craftsman, suport-oriented character. This allowed him to use his character's skills and background to fashion fantastic weapons and armor for his fellows. Once the other players saw how much fun he was having, they also got in on the fun. So one player make the arms and armor, another enchants it, and a third is now using this system to create consumables using his alchemy proficiency. So yes, not all players will want to engage with this system, but the ones that do can, and (from the stories I've heard and personal experience) often will use it to aid the entire group. And you can, as the DM provide NPC craftsmen that use the mechanics to provide modified equipment to sell. Makes for an amazing "gold sink".
