Smith

Smith (1.1) Adventurer Class

Blacksmiths are essential to the daily lives of adventurers. Need to repair armor, fix broken weapons, and replace spent arrows. You may also be known as Black Smith, Armor Smith, Weaponsmith, or just Smith.

Playing the Smith

With this NPC class you can stay at a fixed location and play up the look of a black smith. Adventurers will visit you throughout the event and you will fix their broken items, this is a great opportunity for role playing. Although not as effective at adventuring as traditional warrior classes you do have some very handy abilities, especially as you progress in levels.

You may only target an opponent who is currently wielding a weapon which is made of metal. The target’s weapon damage is reduced by 2, for the duration of the encounter, battle, or duel, or until the smith is slain, whichever comes first. You may not target natural weapons (e.g. claws), even if they are made of metal. Unlike the Hedge Witch's Hex power, the Smith does not have to continuously point at the target. This ability can be used once per day (1x/day) and can be renewed.

This ability has no effect on APR not related to armor (like Dexterous Movement, Arcane Armor, etc.) Unlike the Hedge Witch's Hex power, the Smith does not have to continuously point at the target. This ability can be used once per day (1x/day) and can be renewed.

The Smith's Forge

Many of your staring abilites you can only be used at a forge. For many this means that the Smith may not be an adventurer but may want to stay at the town and run a smith's business. Either path is a fine option!
