Blacksmithing[edit]
Starting at 1st level, you are a master in the art of blacksmithing, being able to create the most magnificent pieces of metal. You have Advantage on checks made with the smith's tools to craft objects made out of metal.
In addition, during a short rest, you can craft the equivalent of one workday. This is considered light activity to you, but crafting require the raw materials (metal), the smith's tools and a source of fire.
Relentless Worker[edit]
Also at 1st level, you work with extreme dedication for 1 hour, to craft a nonmagical item that must include some metal: a simple or martial weapon, a suit of armor, ten pieces of ammunition, a set of tools, or another metal object. The creation is completed at the end of the hour. You must have a flame and your smith's tools with you in order to craft this item.
The thing you create can be something that is worth no more than 100 gp. As part of this process, you must lay out the raw materials with a value equal to the creation. You can create a duplicate of a nonmagical item that contains metal, such as a key, if you possess the original during the crafting.
Weapon Honing[edit]
Starting at 2nd level, you learn how to hone weapons, temporarily improving their properties. When you finish a short or long rest, choose a number of weapons equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1). The next attack made with the honed weapons cause additional 2d10 damage on a hit. This damage increases to 3d10 at 10th level.
Smith's Guild[edit]
At 3rd level, you can choose one smith's guild to affiliate yourself to. Your guild of choice grants you features at 3rd level, and again at 5th, 11th, and 17th levels.
Mastercrafts[edit]
At 6th level, you are able to create truly marvelous designs called mastercrafts. A mastercraft object is a weapon, tool, object or armor made out of metal. You can create one mastercraft object whenever you use your Relentless Worker to craft an item. The object add your Forge Master level to its maximum number of hit points, and your proficiency bonus to its AC and damage threshold (if the object is an armor or shield, it doesn't affect the AC granted to the wearer, just the AC when the armor or shield is the target of an attack).
In addition, the mastercraft object has the following benefits, depending on the object type:
- Mastercraft Weapon
The mastercraft weapon is considered magical, for the purposes of overcoming resistances and immunities to non-magical damage.
- Mastercraft Armor and Shield
Critical hits against a creature wearing a mastercraft armor or shield becomes normal hits. Also, it doesn't impose disadvantage
- Mastercraft Tool
Mastercraft tools gain a bonus to checks made with it equal to your Intelligence modifier.
Flame Hardened[edit]
When you reach the 7th level, you can endure the heat from the furnace. You gain resistance to fire damage and become immune to the negative effects of extreme heat.
Superior Creations[edit]
At 9th level, your mundane
Armor Mastery[edit]
When you reach the 18th level, whenever you are wearing an armor made out of metal you created, you gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage from non-magical sources.
Wearing a magical armor also grants you resistance to damage from those types from magical sources too.
Masterpiece[edit]
When you reach the 20th level, you are able to create an unique piece of crafting.
