Crafting Process:
The first phase in the Crafting process is called “Roughing”. This is the process by which you pick the stave with the greatest potential. This roll determines what the max of every other roll you can have in the “Tillering” and “Accuracy” phases of crafting.
Damage Event:
- The second phase in the Crafting process is called "Tillering".
- It is the process by which they would test and assess the strength of the bow and its damage capabilities.
- The crafter rolls three Crafting rolls, uses the average of the three rolls, and that determines the Damage Event that the bow will use every time damage needs to be rolled.
Damage Bonus:
- +1 Bonus per Die rolled and +1 Damage Die per Strength Requirement, added to the Damage Roll.
Strength Range Requirement:
- The Strength requirement range is 1-8. Bows were made of various sizes and pull strengths for all ages.
- The Strength requirement for the bow is determined by the Crafter before the process starts. The higher the Crafting Roll, the farther along the Damage Event scale of that particular Strength requirement you are. This is determined by the Tillering process. (Explanation coming in the Crafting Book).
Accuracy Percentage:
- The Longbow reduces your base Accuracy Percentage of 100% by 5% of the "Accuracy Percentage" Crafting Roll.
- The Bowyer/Fletcher rolls a 197 on the Accuracy Percentage phase of the crafting process. This particular launcher would reduce the base 100% by 10% (5% of 197 = 9.8).
