Information on this page is subject to change. # Weaver ## Overview - **Primary Tool:** Weaver's Tools - **Primary Ability:** [[Abilities#Dexterity|Dexterity]] - **Available Checks:** - Assess the quality, weave structure, or origin of a textile - Identify the fiber type, regional style, or maker of a cloth piece - Detect hidden patterns, coded messages, or modifications woven into fabric - [[#Performing Weaving|Perform a weaving check]] ### Creation Types | **Creations** | **Description** | | --- | --- | | Common Cloth | Plain-woven fabric in linen, wool, or cotton. Sold in bulk for clothing, sacking, and household use. The everyday output of most weaving workshops. | | Specialty Textiles | Twills, damasks, brocades, and complex-structure weaves. Higher thread counts and intricate patterns command significant monetary value. | | Clothing & Garments | Finished woven garments — cloaks, robes, uniforms, and formal wear. May incorporate functional features such as hidden pockets or reinforced seams. | | Tapestries & Art Textiles | Pictorial weavings depicting scenes, heraldry, maps, or histories. May contain information hidden within the pattern, readable only to those who know how to look. | | Enchanted Cloth | Magically attuned fabric that may resist fire or blades, grant camouflage, provide armor-equivalent protection, or store a woven spell effect activated by the wearer. | ### Ingredient Types | **Ingredients** | **Description** | | --- | --- | | 🞛 Spun Thread & Yarn | Spun, twisted, and plied fiber ready for warping and weaving. Processed from raw fiber through carding, combing, drafting, and spinning. Thread weight and twist determine the fabric's final drape and strength. | | 🞚 Raw Fiber | Wool, cotton, flax, silk, or magical creature fiber such as owlbear down, phase spider silk, or displacer beast fur. Harvested, traded, or purchased depending on availability. Fiber source determines base magical potential. | | 🞜 Dyes, Mordants & Finishing Agents | Precise dye baths, mordant fixatives, sizing agents, starches, and fulling compounds. Determines colorfastness, surface texture, sheen, water resistance, and the magical conductivity of enchanted cloth. | ### Creation Cost & Time | **Weaver Level** | **Creation Slots** | | --- | --- | | Level 0 –<br>Novice | 1 | | Level 1 –<br>Intermediate | 2 | | Level 2 –<br>Advanced | 3 | | Level 3 –<br>Superior | 4 | | Level 4 –<br>Master | 5 | All creation slots are utilized over an 8 hour period. | **Rarity** | **Weaving DC** | **Weaving Die** | **Slot Cost** | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Common | 10 | 1d4 | 1 | | Uncommon | 15 | 1d6 | 1 | | Rare | 20 | 1d8 | 2 | | Very Rare | 25 | 1d10 | 3 | | Legendary | 30 | 1d12 | 4 | ### Performing Weaving > [!faq]- Weaving Creation Example > To weave a ***Cloak of the Still Shadow***, an Uncommon garment woven from phase spider silk that grants its wearer advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks in dim light or darkness, follow the steps below: > > **1. Gather ingredients** > The ingredients for a Cloak of the Still Shadow are: > 🞜 Shadowfix Mordant (Dye & Fixing Agent) > 🞛 Phase Spider Silk Thread (Spun Thread) > 🞚 Raw Phase Spider Silk > For this example, we'll assume Shadowfix Mordant has been sourced from an alchemist. > > **2. Roll a weaving check to determine the quality and magical integrity of the weave.** > The DC is equal to... > *the rarity of the creation* — *your weaver level* — *your [[Abilities#Dexterity|Dexterity]] modifier* (minimum of 0) — *your proficiency bonus* (only if proficient with Weaver's Tools) > - Upon success, you waste no materials and the cloak is woven to full specification. > - Upon [[#Failing A Weaving Check|failure]], you waste materials and the process takes longer. > > **3. Spin the thread.** > In this case, you succeed and now need to spin ***Phase Spider Silk Thread*** from raw silk, which costs 1d6 *skeins of Raw Phase Spider Silk* — *Dexterity modifier* (minimum of 0) per cloak. > > **4. Add remaining ingredients.** > All other listed ingredients are consumed at a 1-to-1 ratio unless otherwise stated. > In this example, 1 batch of Shadowfix Mordant is consumed. ### Failing A Weaving Check On a failed weaving check, roll a *weaving die* — *your weaver level* to see how many ingredients are lost (resulting in a minimum of 1). You must roll separately for both *spun thread & yarn* and *raw fiber*. For time wasted (resulting in a minimum of 1 hour), roll a *weaving die* — *your proficiency bonus* (only if you are proficient with Weaver's Tools). ## Recipes Weaving patterns for enchanted textiles and tapestry techniques are passed within weavers' guilds and arcane tailoring circles. Known reference works include: - *The Warp and the Weft* — Foundational techniques for common cloth, specialty textiles, and garment construction. - *Threads of Power: Enchanted Textiles* — Advanced methods for magical fiber preparation, enchanted cloth weaving, and tapestry cipher construction.
