Editing Smith (section)

==Smiths on the Tabletop==

Though their existence is central to most fantasy or science-fiction worlds (it's hard to have swords and sorcercy without swords, or raygun gothic without rayguns), smiths are very seldom seen as dedicated character classes or roles in TTRPGs. While it's often common for games to have crafting systems of some kind to allow their players to build or customize their own gear, its rare to see a class that is 100% dedicated to nothing but item creation. Simply put, building cool weapons and armour isn't much fun if you can't use them. The [[Artificer]] sometimes fills the smith roll in a variety of different systems, but their emphasis is often more on gadgetry than on building simple tools.
