Crafting Box and Combiner

This page is intended to summarize the utility of the Crafting Box and Combiner items which all new characters receive.

General Information

In order to craft something using these tools, a character must supply a source item and a destination item. In the entries on this page, formulas will be presented with both types of items described. Both items are placed inside the crafting box and the combiner is then “used” on the crafting box to produce the desired effect.

  • Any rolls required to complete a specific craft will be conducted automatically
  • The cost of a source item is always deducted from the overall cost in a formula
  • Spellcraft skill effectively reduces the cost of magical items from Craft Magic Arms and Armor, Craft Rod, Craft Staff, Craft Wondrous Item, and Forge Ring feats
  • Magical items can only be made from masterwork items
  • Items created via the Crafting Box and Combiner are marked as stolen
  • Magic item creation is sometimes unpredictable; if something goes wrong, “Mystra is a harsh mistress.”

Heal Skill

Entry level crafting possibilities are available to anyone with the Heal Skill. A Heal Check will be rolled in order to create healing items. Failure spoils the component. Herbalism proficiency lowers the difficulty of creating the following items.

  • Bandage (Rags + Hand of Garlic)
  • Treatment (Atropa Belladonna + Empty Bottle)
  • Antidote (Bloodpurge + Empty Bottle)
  • Salve (Bloodstaunch + Empty Bottle)

Brew Potion

Unlike Heal Skill, Brew Potion requires no skill check to utilize. Potions may be brewed by collecting various components throughout the module and combining them with an empty bottle item, provided that a character meets the class and caster level requirements for a given formula.
