===Knowledge Skills===
------------------------
====Craft [specify]====
ACTIVE

The ability to make something with a certain material. Potential materials include Metal, Bone, Wood, Glass, Clay, Explosives, and Mechanisms.

The rules for this skill will make me weep.

Creating an object is an unopposed Craft check, that takes an amount of time dependent on what is being made [LM's judgment]. Penalties may apply based on the complexity of the project.

If you have the Master Artisan perk, ranks in Craft and Art can be applied to the same project, if you are making the proper Art object with the proper Craft material.
