Bowyer/Fletcher, Crude
Construction Time for Crude Bows and Arrows
| Weapon | Construction Time |
|---|---|
| Arrow, flight | 7/day |
| Arrow, incendiary or poison | 5/day |
| Bow, short | 12 days |
With this proficiency, a character can make short bows and arrows. To make short bows, the character must be proficient in the use of short bows. To make arrows, he must be proficient in some type of bow.
If the character has the Hunting proficiency, he receives a +3 bonus to all crude bowyer/ fletcher proficiency checks.
Because crude bows and arrows use natural materials—such as bone, wood, and stone— and fine craftsmanship isn't required, con- struction time is reduced (see the Construction Time for Crude Bows and Arrows table). Arrowheads must be made by weaponsmiths, but the bowyer/ fletcher fashions the bows, shafts, and drawstrings.
As with the standard Bowyer/Fletcher proficiency, weapons made with the crude bowyer/fletcher proficiency must be checked for quality. A failed proficiency check, made when the weapon is completed, means the arrow shatters on the first shot; a bow breaks if the character using it rolls an unmodified 1 on his Id20 attack roll.
This proficiency does not allow the option of creating fine quality weapons, including the long bow.
