Leatherworker Artisan Specialization

Bonus Proficiencies

When you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with leatherworker’s tools. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan’s tools of your choice. You also add the orgone engine and leather material blueprints to your portfolio, and these additions do not count against your maximum number of blueprints owned. If you already have the engine or material in your portfolio, you learn another engine or material blueprint of your choice.

If you have an orgone engine available, you can combine it with your leatherworker’s tools as an action to create power tools. These power tools allow you to build creations at a much faster speed than would normally be possible by a single individual.

Advanced Leatherworking

At 3rd level, when using leatherworker’s power tools, you can reduce the time to create a leather object from months to weeks (determined by dividing the total number of weeks required by 4), weeks to days, days to hours, hours to minutes, and minutes to rounds.

Cure Mammal Hide

Also at 3rd level, you use leatherworker’s power tools, a Medium or larger mammal’s corpse, and an hour to create hide armor for a Medium creature. You add the Mammal Hide innovation to your portfolio for free and all the armor you create from this feature is collectively considered one active innovation. The AC of armor from the creature is 11. For each additional hour spent curing the hide, the armor increases by 1 to the creature’s natural armor class, which is calculated by subtracting the creature’s Dexterity bonus from its AC. Skinning sentient creatures (like winter wolves or worgs) in this fashion is considered an evil act by most civilized species. You can create two suits of armor from Large creatures, four from Huge, and eight from Gargantuan creatures, but the time increases by one hour for each additional piece of armor you create. Similarly, it takes four Small or 16 Tiny creatures to make Medium-sized armor. Armor for Small creatures take half the time while armor for Large creatures take double the time.

Pluck Feathers

At 5th level, using leatherworker’s power tools and one minute of time, you can pluck the best feathers from a feathered creature’s corpse and incorporate it into armor. You add the Feathers blueprint to your portfolio for free, and all the feathered armor you create from this feature is collectively considered one active innovation. The number of feathered corpses necessary for a Medium armor requires 16 Tiny, 4 Small, or 1 Medium body. Large feathered beings provide enough feathers for two Medium-sized armors, 4 from Huge, and 16 from Gargantuan. These numbers double or halve for smaller or larger armor. A creature who wears the feathers has advantage on Charisma-based checks if the challenge rating * 4 of the creature it is making the check against is equal to or higher than the armor wearer’s level (minimum of 1).

Cure Reptilian Hide

Beginning at 9th level, using leatherworker’s power tools and an hour, you can create armor from a reptilian creature’s corpse using your Cure Mammal Hide feature. In addition, any armor you create (mammal or reptilian) provides resistance to one damage type possessed by the creature, or resistance to a damage type it was immune to.

Cure Exotic Hide

Starting at 15th level, using leatherworker’s power tools and an hour, you can create hide, leather, scale, or plate armor from a creature’s corpse using your Cure Mammal Hide feature. You can create armor from any terrestrial creature that is not classified as a mammal, bird, or reptile. Additionally, any armor you create gains one resistance of the original creature. Finally, you can also gain one natural attack of the creature incorporated into your armor. The attack uses Strength or Dexterity, the wearer’s choice, and inflicts damage equal to the original creature’s but the dice size increases or decreases to medium (so a Large creature inflicting 1d10 damage inflicts 1d8 and a Small creature inflicting 1d6 damage inflicts 1d8). You cannot fashion armor out of constructs, elementals, oozes, or plants.
