Weaver's Tools

Name: Weaver's Tools
Cost: 1 gp
Weight: 5 lb.
Includes: thread, needles, and scraps of cloth

You know how to work a loom, but such equipment is too large to transport. Weavers use a loom to weave together materials to create fabrics for clothing and other uses. This fabric can be anything from fine silk to coarse wool. Much like real life, a weaver could create fine clothing for the rich or cheap cloth for peasants. You should ask your player what type of fabric/clothing they specialize in making to get a better idea of what they might know as a weaver.

Weaver’s Tools Skills and Special Uses

Arcana, History. Your expertise lends you additional insight when examining cloth objects, including cloaks and robes.

Investigation. Using your knowledge of the process of creating cloth objects, you can spot clues and make deductions that others would overlook when you examine tapestries, upholstery, clothing, and other woven items.

Repair. As part of a short rest, you can repair a single damaged cloth object.

Craft Clothing. Assuming you have access to sufficient cloth and thread, you can create an outfit for a creature as part of a long rest.

When you might use these tools:

• Looks for clues based on tapestries, fabric found at the scene, or damaged clothing on a suspect
• Wants to gain insights based on what the NPC is wearing (social status, where they have traveled, etc.)
• Determines the enchantment placed on a cloak based on the symbols embroidered on it
• Spot the richest person in the room, you know, to “talk” to them

Weaver’s Knowledge

Weavers need to know a lot of people to keep their business viable. Not only do they need raw materials to create fabrics, but they also need to sell those fabrics to seamstress’ or merchants. This means that weavers will know not only everything about their craft but often everything about the business world too! You can expect a weaver to know:

• Who to contact for materials (silk, wool, cotton, etc.) and who to contact to sell woven fabrics
• At least one contact in the black market (even if they have never used it themselves)
• How to spot a rich person in a crowd based on what they are wearing
• How to dress for every occasion

*This represents the average cost of goods. Prices may vary all around the world.
