It's a bad idea for a Wizard to try and make a suit of armor using Spellcraft, just like its a bad idea for a Brawler to try to make wand using Warfare. Note that many items are just weird (like wondrous items) and such items should not be penalized by this rule. GM's are encouraged to be merciful. GMs should also consider setting times 'in-between' fast and slow as they see fit, to fine-tune the process. | ||

; Wielded: This is the slot used for wielded melee weapons, ranged weapons, thrown weapons, rods, staves, wands or holy symbols. Depending on the item, it is possible to wield more than one of these items, assuming you have enough hands free to do so. Some of these items require two hands (such as magic bows). The bonuses provided by these items nearly always require an attack to activate. If a weapon or item is wielded in the same hand that a shield is being worn, the shield's bonus is lost on any round in which the wielded weapon or item is used. | ; Wielded: This is the slot used for wielded melee weapons, ranged weapons, thrown weapons, rods, staves, wands or holy symbols.
