Rushed Magical Item Crafting (5e Variant Rule)

Rushed Magical Item Crafting

This variant rule set is based on the magical item crafting rules from Xanathar's Guide to Everything.

For those who want to craft magical items but either lack time or patience.

For each work week required to normally craft a magical item, the time needed can be reduced by 1 day to create a rushed magical item, or 2 days for a greatly rushed magical item.

As the proper time and care was not taken to create the item all rushed items have a defect/side effect, a greatly rushed item will have 2.

Defects/side effects may be chosen by the DM or rolled on the table bellow.

A creature may make a DC 15 Arcana check to determine whether an item is rushed, or by use of the identify spell

Rushed magical items have a reduced value, greatly rushed items would have a value no more than half the items original value. exact values may be determined by the DM.
