However, before going down that route, I decided to pull the oxford dictionary definitions of what a tinker is:ĭefinition 1: (especially in former times) a person who makes a living by travelling from place to place mending pans and other metal utensils.ĭefinition 2: British derogatory A Gypsy or other person living in an itinerant community.ĭefinition 3: British informal A mischievous child.ĭefinition 4: An act of attempting to repair something.ĭefinition 1: Attempt to repair or improve something in a casual or desultory way. After-all, there is already precedent for this type of setup in the rock gnome background. My first thought was to treat it as a World-of-Warcraft-esque clockwork item creation kit, and have it be used to create all manner of mechanical contraptions. I actually had a bit of trouble figuring out what direction to take the tinker’s tools initially.
Those of you capable of using the process of elimination have probably figured out that the last toolkit we will be discussing is the tinker’s tools. With our guide on the smith’s tools cooling off, the final page of our artisan’s tools compendium is upon us. Other similar crafting systems may utilitize a different list of items. * These items are specific to the Questionable Arcana system. Magic Item Crafting: Can assist in the creation of a great many itemsĪrtwork Creation: Can create mechanical artwork for saleĪdventuring Utility: Able to repair items, and understand contraptions. Mundane Item Crafting: Can the lead the creation of some assembled items, but assist in the creation of a great many items *Example Items: Small wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, gears, bits of shaped metal, magnifying eyeglass If nothing else I hope this document and its siblings can be used as a source of guidance and inspiration for whatever crafting system you decide to go with.
Furthermore, the rules and concepts discussed are intended to work in-tandem with the expanded artisan's tools rules found in Xanathar's Guide to Everything. However, the system as a whole is totally functional and ready to be used in any campaign. The finer details of this system are still being revised, and those changes will slowly be introduced into this document. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Although this crafting system leverages many existing mechanics published under the 5e SRD and OGL, the final product is completely home-brewed.
