Multi-craftable Items:

I'd like the 'Skull Pole' and 'Impaled Monster Head' to be crafted with both a lower DC, and to make them craftable by not only carpentry but also smithy and artistry in addition to carpentry, potentially using alternative materials similar to 'Spell Components' being crafted by both Alchemy and Artistry: http://wiki.arelith.com/Spell_components

Given one of the components for the Impaled Monster Head is having "a Giant's head" and a fully forged steel spear ... I think the DC 20 of simply attaching the head to the spear is kind of silly; especially for it to be carpentry after you've already gotten a blacksmith to make you the steel spear. This placeable takes:

12 coal
4 iron chunks into 2 Iron ingots (2 cp)
2 iron ingots into 2 Steel Ingots (2 cp)
Then you craft those into a steel spear at over DC21 (the steel spear is not listed, only the iron spear at DC21) which costs MORE than 15 crafting points...
1 giant's head

So far, you're MORE that 19 crafting points in. Then this thing costs an additional 9 crafting points ... and requires DC20 carpentry to avoid losing your spear somehow ... just to put the head on the spear. How does carpentry even enter into this with a giant head, a steel spear, and 9 crafting points for MORE than 28 crafting points ... to put a head on a stick?

It's easier to make an ornate table or enchanting basin. X . x;
