Change special druid sickle crafting

Post by perek586 » Wed Jul 26, 2017 4:21 pm

In the 'Basic rules' part of the wikipage for druids it is stated:
The druid disdains the use of large metal weapons that are heavily worked or cover their body. Metal is a naturally occurring substance as any other, in being reworked it is disrupting the natural function of metal
Yet the special Druid Sickle has a forging DC of 39, meaning a total investment into forging is pretty much required to create it. Perhaps change it to be forgeable by anyone, but wieldable only by druids, with a high UMD requirement? It doesn't seem very RP friendly to make your druid a master smith for this one thing only.

Or lower the DC significantly but keep the epic druid smith requirement?

Or change it to another discipline entirely. Alchemy/Carpentry.

Or make the blade itself a forgeable part, to be used in Carpentry to assemble the whole thing. So that you may outsource the forgey bits to non-druids, but only druids can complete the sickle.

Anything really, don't want to have to make a smithy druid for a sweet-Snuggybear bush-restoring sickle.
