Hey guys, I have a question:

Back when we played 3.5, we had a list of things that we the DM accepted into our campaigns as homebrew but accepted by all. Things like Toughness requirements can be met with Improved Toughness, or Ancestral Relic no longer requires good, or the Chain Fighter Feat (or for the mini group, the 'Skillfull' feat).

I would like to use this area to propose a ruleset from 3.5 over to our games in Pathfinder: something better than masterwork. I have a couple options in mind, and we can use some/all of them.

Masterpiece: DC22. 600gp for weapons, 300gp for armor. Masterpiece is a step above masterwork in it's craftsmanship. The bonuses granted by masterwork are doubled (+2 on attack rolls for weapons, -2 CP for armor, etc). This bonus functions the same way as currently when magically enchanted (a masterpiece weapon enchanted with a +1 will have a +2 to hit and +1 to damage. a +2 weapon will just have +2 to hit and +2 to damage)

Dwarvencraft: DC22, 600gp for weapons, 300gp for armor. Dwarvencraft is a way to make an item hardy and more durable. It grants the bonuses of masterwork, plus its hardness is increased by 2 and hp by 10. In addition, it gets a +2 bonus on saving throws it makes.

I could forsee some version of elvencraft or other racial crafting styles, doing various things. I rememer a feycraft, but I don't remember its rules (I think it allowed dex to hit with light weapons without needing finesse, but did damage as if 1 size catagory smaller.)

Thoughts? I like the idea that there is more than just masterwork and magical. Especially for campaigns or civilizations that have a low level of magic.

Didn't we have a a convo about "keeping rianardu pure?"  Or is this a non-rianardu issue?
