Weapon Crafting

Crafting a weapon requires a skill check and a number of hours indicated on the table below. If the check is failed any time and resources spent on the creation are lost.
A character may spend additional s on a successful check to reduce the time by 2 hours multiple times, to a minimum of 2 hours.
Adding attachments to weapons follows the same mechanics. If an attachment's creation fails by ff or greated the Hard Point the attachment is being added to is destroyed (it is occupied the mangled parts of the failed attachment). If an attachment fails and generates d the DM can spend other results from the check as if the weapon were just being crafted. If an attachment fails an generates dd the weapon gain the Inferior quality, or if it already had it, is destroyed.
Weapons gained from sources other than crafting have 1 Hard Point.

* this modifies an existing weapon of the given type as it is being created, imbuing its workings with the chosen element. Take the test to craft the base weapon first, and record any results from that check that would apply additional effects (Advantage, Triumphs, Threats, etc). Then, spend the time required to add the element, and make the additional check.
