The formula for calculating the time taken is thusly:īase - ((Main Stat + Intelligence - 20) x 10) = Total number of daysįor example, it would take a player with 16 Dexterity and 9 Intelligence 200 days to master the use of Thieves' Toolsīase (Thieves' Tools) - ((Dexterity + Intelligence -20) x 10) = TotalĢ50 - ((16+9-20)x10) = 250-50 = 200 days, or about 7 months Wisdom: Alchemist's Supplies, Brewer's Supplies, Cartographer's Tools, Cook's Utensils, Jeweler's Tools, Herbalism Kit, Poisoner's Kit,Land Vehicles, Water VehiclesĬharisma: Disguise Kit, Forgery Kit, Musical Instruments

Intelligence: Tinker's Tools, Gaming Sets, Navigator's Tools Strength: Carpenter's Tools, Cobbler's Tools, Mason's Tools, Smith's Tools, Woodcarver's Toolsĭexterity: Caligrapher's Supplies, Potter's Tools, Leatherworker's Tools, Painter's Supplies, Weaver's Tools, Thieves' Tools Master (400 Days) : Artisan tools, Forgery Kit, Languages, Water VehiclesĮach tool has an attribute assigned to it which, along with Intelligence, determines how long it takes the tool to be learned by that character. Skilled (250 days) : Disguise Kit, Herbalism Kit, Musical Instruments, Navigator's Tools, Poisoner's Kit, Thieves' Tools, Land Vehicles My players have given me positive feedback so far, and seem to enjoy it.Įach tool is assigned a base difficulty that determines the number of days of training (8 hours per day) required to learn them.

Have your players ever tried to use the "Training" part of the PHB to learn a new tool, to only be stunned as they are told that it takes 250 days and 250 gold regardless of the tool and the talents of the individual? Well that happened to me, so I came up with a system to better allow for training tools in a more immersive way.
