Drafting Designs

In order to build any kind of ponymade object, anypony needs to have a plan first. The crafter must determine all of the necessary functions components for the device he wishes to construct and draft or purchase the necessary sketches and diagrams. Designs are needed for each object of moderate or higher complexity to be crafted, as well as for the assembly of the finished project.

To draft a proper set of design, the character must first decide what the function or functions of the item will be. Once she has determined everything that she wants the item to do, she can break it down into component parts. Each object requires a certain amount of units of appropriate crafting material (see Table: Crafting Materials) depending on its object type, size category and complexity.

For instance a Unicorn craftsman wanted to create a medium-sized +1 adequate gala-garment. So, she needs a medium sized garment (or has to create one from 2 units of fabric), add one unit of Rainbow Color to create the +1 equipment bonus, and one unit of Flowers, Gemstones, Seafruit or Stardust for the +2 adequate Social Rating bonus to set the finish. In addition, she needs to know how much the components cost and how they affect the difficulty of creating the item.

Designs are drafted by making a Knowledge roll associated to the appropriate Craft skill (see Craft Tables below). The base DC to draft a Design is 10 modified by the scope and the complexity of the object (see Project Scope and Complexity).

Table: Crafting Materials
- (Stars) Metal (Powders), Stardust, Glass
- (Sky) Clouds, Gases, Rainbow (Colors)
- (Mountain) Stones, Coal, Gemstones (Powders)
- (Earth) Wood, Fruit, Flowers
- (Sea) Coral, Liquids, Seafruit
- (Unity) Animal Products, Fabric
