Writer's Wednesday XVI

Hello everyone,

Today we will take a peek at one of the more versatile crafts,

Woodworking.

A woodworker prides themselves with shaping wood to any

need or desire.

Much like a Royal Armorsmith is to metal, the woodworker is

to wood.

Woodworkers create not only useful everyday items but also works

for the

art of perfecting ranged weapons. Woodworkers can create bows of any



type, and this craft will also allow the player to create their own



special ammunition that can enhance the damage made by a ranged



combatant, unlike normal merchant-bought arrows and bolts.

In addition

woodworkers can make the finest examples of Tribal weapons for those



who are home in the wilds or who find themselves better suited to



natural or simpler weapons. Tribal weapons utilize wood and leather to



a large degree however some metal components often required.

This craft

also allows the player to create Musical Instruments required for the



spellsinger to exploit their talents.

Hickory Blow Gun - A small

hollowed branch of hickory designed to hold

darts and be used as a weapon.

Stone Ocarina - A carved stone oval with five finger holes and a mouth



tube projecting from the body.

Steel-Tipped Mahogany Bolts - Short,

slender shafts of reddish mahogany,

set with honed steel tips at one end and

father fletches at the other.

Yew Tamakan - A fine-grained yew stick

with the bark stripped off and a

petrified wood axe head with a wickedly

sharp half-moon edge inserted

through the top.

Segmented Quain

Pole- A marble smooth, silvery white quain spear that

has been attached in

segments to create a flexible, thin fishing pole

with string guides along

the pole's length.

Hope you enjoyed this taste of the latest craft to be

revealed! Join us

again next week for yet more sampling fun!
