Crafting questions

Post by larsenex »

Can I take an existing item in game and build it up?

For example I would like to take Blood letter which is a bastard sword +4, +3 vampiric regen, with wounding and pump it up to +5 base, and +5 Vampiric.

I would also like to take existing red dragon armor and add invulneralbility to it damage soak (10)..


Can this be done or do I need to start from scratch?

Also If i start from scratch say with a +5 bastard sword, I was going to add Holy weapon (2d6 evil) and flaming (1-6) fire. would this be a good weapon against shadow reavers? hehe can you guess where I am at in the campaign?

Thanks for the help.

I would think you could - but each item (weapon) can only be made by you to hold maximum 3 enchantments. So if you already have a weapon with 3 enchantments on it or more - you can't do anything further to it.

My usual weapon of choice is to make a cold iron base, then add Holy, 1d6 acid and +4 or 5 enchantment bonus depending on the level I am when I craft the weapon. That weapon usually is quite handy for most enemies at that point and onwards.

Xandax is right.

So from the campaign, you can take the Rift Hammer, +6 warhammer +1d6 sonic and add ONE extra enchantment to it.

But the Bloodletter you quouted with 4 enchantments already cannot have new ones added to it under the crafting rules in the game. From what I understand, you cannot even raise the bastardsword +4 to a +5, as it requires an empty slot to place in the +5, before the +4 is overwritten.

This is correct.

You can, however, upgrade the enchantment (+1 to +2...+5) as long as that third slot (or 2 slots) is left open. Then once you max it at +5 you can add a third one if you wanted.
