| Some craftsmen are masters and their works are the talk of cities. Some truly great craftsmen however transcend history to become the creators of artifacts of legend and though their names may be forgotten their works ensure that their genius will echo through the ages. | Some craftsmen are masters and their works are the talk of cities.

| - | This tree is based around the idea that the Smith of legend will work toward the creation of a single, utterly peerless creation (normally a weapon). As such these skills can only ever be used once on a single item (though each one can be used on a different item, and they can be used to upgrade existing items), the skills representing the pinnacle of the craftsman ability which can only be reached once in their life. It compatible with the 'legendary item' skill, with the normal assumption that any smith worth their salt would create their legendary item and then refine it with the skills in this tree. | + | This tree is based around the idea that the Smith of legend will work toward the creation of a single, utterly peerless creation (normally a weapon, though GMs can give other benefits in line with the skill descriptions for items that are not weapons).

The downside is that the item is in no way bound to the Smith and it may be stolen, a many people would do anything to possess such an object. |

| As they pull it from the forge, the smith names their weapon and in so doing gives it purpose. All who see the weapon will know it for what it is and rumour of it will spread gradually throughout the known world. In their naming of their creation the smith gives it a destiny, one which it will achieve (though how it does so is GM dependant). For example, a smith who named their weapon 'Kingslayer' could set upon the it the destiny of killing the King, with the knowledge that somehow that would come to pass. | As they pull it from the forge, the smith names their weapon and in so doing gives it purpose.

| - | In making their masterpiece the smith's a large part of the smith passes into the weapon and their creative spark flickers out, for after the creation of such an artefact forging anything else would seem a pale shadow by comparison. They may never again use any craftsman related skill, other than to repair broken items. | + | In making their masterpiece a greater part of the smith's genius passes into the weapon and their creative spark flickers out, for after the creation of such an artefact forging anything else would seem a pale shadow by comparison.
