SolVachel/SolsArtifactCreation

Difficulty to create an artifact equals Rating +2. Must have CraftSolVachel/Occult all at or above difficulty. Must pay Rating x 3 experience points to plan the design of the Artifact. Must gain ten times the difficulty to finish construction. Each roll takes days equal to the difficulty of the Artifact.

For the purposes of simplicity Manses count as Artifacts with lvl exactly matching. A lvl 3 Manse is a lvl 3 Artifact, and so on.

Xp cost of Rating x 3 is paid once only for a given Artifact plan. This should be fairly narrow, but given some margin of variance. For Example: Kolokai has paid 6xp for a Daiklave Blueprint. This allows him to produce large magical swords, of level two power. It does not allow him to make lvl 3 swords, nor lvl 2 axes. Any additional powers should constitute an additional blueprint. For a general guideline it should be more strict than a given specialty.

A blueprint may be used that one has not mastered. If a craftsman uses a blueprint found, or loaned that he has not paid the xp cost for, then the Artifact should be considered to be one level higher for the purposes of Difficulty, Successes needed, and Interval.

Multiple Craftsmen may work together on a project, normally no more than one per artifact level however. If multiple craftsmen cooperate then they both roll individually to beat the base Difficulty, and then pool their successes.

Some Artifacts are of such a large scale that they require a signifigantly greater time. Manses, Boats and Skyships are good examples of this. Realm Workshops, Shogunate Era Forges, and First Age Factory Cathedrals all are Large Scale artifacts. Seige Engines, Essence Cannons and Warstriders typically fall just short of this scale.

The roll is an extended Intelligence + Craft roll. It requires a work crew of magnitude equal to the difficulty of the project. For every level of Magnitude the work crew is below this the difficulty increases by one. For every additional level of Magnitude increase the die pool by one.

Keeping a work crew together requires a combination of Presence, Bureaucracy, and Socialize. Minimum Abilties are equal to the Magnitude of the crew typically. Resources expenditures typically equal the Magnitude per month.

Scaled back interval, was just taking too damn long. ~ SolVachel
