Craft armor

The character knows how to create most types of armor, shields, and helmets from different materials.

  • Check: Based on the difficulty to craft this particular item (see in-game crafting menu)
  • Use: Use crafting component

Notes[]

  • Requires Hordes of the Underdark.
  • This skill does not allow the creation of magical armor, aside from a few items made from special materials (adamantine, ironwood, and mithral).
  • If a player has a modified score of 6 points in craft weapon or craft armor, then creatures, placeables, and doors can drop basic crafting material based on their appearance (see creature articles for the material dropped).
  • This skill can be used to change the appearance of armor. The DC for the skill check is 5 + the armor's total AC + the highest DC modifier for a changed part. The gold piece cost is a percentage of the item's current value, summed over all parts changed (with a minimum of one gold piece per part). Parts with a "left" and a "right" (e.g. feet) do count as two parts when summing costs. (The total cost can never exceed the item's value + 1, though this rarely occurs as the percentages add up to 93%.) This amount is charged even when the skill check is failed. The DC modifiers and gold costs (defined in des_crft_aparts.2da) are shown below:
Part Gold cost DC modifier
Foot 2% 2
Shin 5% 3
Thigh 5% 4
Pelvis 5% 5
Torso 25% 8
Belt 3% 2
Neck 2% 1
Forearm 5% 2
Bicep 5% 5
Shoulder 5% 4
Glove 2% 2
Additionally, this skill can be used modify the "robe" of the armor to "casual", "formal", "sleeveless wizard's robe", "wizard's robe", or none. (The "robe" of the armor is a special appearance that visually replaces multiple parts of the armor.) This modification can be accomplished free of charge (at 0 DC).
  • Plot armor cannot be modified.
  • This skill can be used to create armor or an armor component from raw material. The gold piece cost, DC, and components are given in the below table, with 1/4 the gold cost charged and loss of components if the skill check is failed.

Bugs[]

When having robes or armor in sleeveless wizard's robe, casual robe, wizard's robe, or formal robe and try modifying the arms, there is a different note saying you modify like pelvis—in truth you modify gloves.

Custom content notes[]

  • script: X2_S2_Crafting
  • modification dialogue: x0_skill_ctrap
  • The local integer for the module of "X2_L_DO_NOT_ALLOW_MODIFY_ARMOR" is supposed to disallow armor modification when set to a non-zero value, however the script x2_im_can_ca neglects to check for this.
  • Local variables stored on armor will be lost if the skill check to modify is failed, or the crafting is aborted.
