Tinkering

^{Home > Rulebook > Crafting > Tinkering}
Tinkering is the process of directly modifying a weapon to perform differently and have a different focus in comparison to the weapon’s standard. To perform a Tinker, the person performs a Craft action, to successfully tinker the item, they must pass the Craft DC of the category of weapon, and work on these adjustments for 1 hour for every 3 tinker points spent.

You gain a free +1 Tinker Point maximum with every +15% Intellect that you have. You can gain more tinker points by adding downsides or penalties to your item, see the table below for more information.
