City & Guild Questions

Workshop Total : Primary Characteristic + Ability + Innovation + Raw Materials (page 67)
Each assistant adds half his Craft Ability score to the Workshop Total. (page 73)
(no die roll , unless using Workshop Exertion on page 73)

Does Puissant (Ability) add to this total?
(page 48 , ArM 05)

You are particulary adept with one Ability and get +02 to all totals which include it.

My assumption is , that it does apply.

If any assistant has Puissant (Ability) , is half the bonus added to the total?
That would be an extra +01 per assistant on top of adding half the Craft Ability Score.

Regarding Enchanted Items page 70

If a magus is enchanting a crafted item ---- be it a boot , blade or broom ---- the item must be of at least superior quality.

Craft Level for Superior Items : 12
(Workshop Total must equal or exceed this)

Damaged Goods page 77

When a story event threatens to break an item ,
the player makes a stress check
to see whether the item survives the incident intact or is damaged.

Stress Check : stress die + modifiers vs. Ease Factor 15
Trained to use item[color=white]--------------- +Ability Score
Superior Quality[color=white]------------------- +01
Hermetically Enchanted Item[color=white]--- + magnitude of the total of instilled spell effects

assuming no negative modifiers ,
the Stress Check for a Superior , Enchanted weapon = stress die + Ability score + 01 + magnitude (as above)

Does the enchanted sword use the Base Damage Level for a Superior item (03) .
ot the BDL for a Supernatural item (05)?

If you alter the size of a larger item , making it smaller ,
does it keep its original damage levels ,
or use those appropriate to its new size?

A Supernatural Ship ( size +08 ) would have 15 damage levels ,
it is shrunk to Size 0 , which would give it 05 damage levels.

Does Puissant (Ability) add to this total?

I'd say yes.

If any assistant has Puissant (Ability) , is half the bonus added to the total?
That would be an extra +01 per assistant on top of adding half the Craft Ability Score.

Yes.

Does the enchanted sword use the Base Damage Level for a Superior item (03) .
ot the BDL for a Supernatural item (05)?

I'd go with Supernatural -- it has been enchanted; though I could understand if one wanted to use the "true" quality of the item.

If you alter the size of a larger item , making it smaller ,
does it keep its original damage levels ,
or use those appropriate to its new size?

I'd say, use the new size. The shrunk ship is easy to smash.

Rego Craft Magic (page 49 , Covenants)

Rego magic can make any change a mundane craftsman can effect ,
even when the magus is limited by lack of tools , time or skill.

A Finesse roll substituting for the Craft skill roll.

Can you add the Score for Raw Materials (page 67 , C&G) to your Finesse roll?
Or would you substitute the Finesse Score in the Workshop Total?
Primary Characteristic + Finesse + Raw Materials
(assuming all modifiers to Ease Factor from Rego Craft are used)

I'm discounting the Innovation Score for Rego Craft ,
as the spell bypasses the need for tools or improved technology.

The Seasonal Production Chart on page 68 , lists a number of things which may be constructed in a season.

What if you are an Apothecary?
How many (Salves, Ointments, Poultices, etc.) can you produce in a season?
