Hello everyone, so Special Modifications is out and it added loads of new Crafting Rules and items and I had a bit of an idea.

I wanted to make Schematic Cards that I could print out for the Mechanic of my group to keep track of a few things and always have the Schematic to hand (save turning through the book constantly).

Above is a link to one of the Armour Schematic cards I have made (they are very basic for now, consider them Alpha). On it you can see the following obvious things:

• The Name of the Armour
• The un-modified profile the Armour has upon completion
• The Price, Rarity, Time it takes to craft and Basic Difficulty (number of purple dice)

The other things you can see are as follows:

1. In the top right corner there is an empty box that can be ticked/crossed or filled in to show whether or not you are able to craft the armour.
2. Under the Base Difficulty you have Current Difficulty, this is left blank so that you can write in if you have modified the difficulty (Due to creating a more simple Schematic ala 4 Advantages or a Triumph on the crafting roll, or even using the Workshop upgrades introduced in Special Modifications).
3. In the bottom left corner is a box for Modifiers, this a place to list the amount of automatic Boost Dice and Advantages are automatically applied when crafting the Armour (again, these can come from having "The Right Tools for the Job" or from Workshop upgrades)
4. In the bottom right there is Research which I will explain in greater detail below

The Research box is to be applied with a very simple Research system that me and my group came up with. The Armour Schematic names are obviously not the name of the Armour produced but rather the Category of Armour that you are trying to make, obviously characters can be aware of these categories before they are able to craft the Armour (this is why I have included the box for are you able to build this Armour). So the way research works is this, say you have/find/buy the Padded Armour from the EotE CRB, obviously that would come under the category of Reinforced Clothing (at least to me it would). You can then dismantle that Armour to learn how to make it and to do is is relatively easy (it's not that complicated a piece of Armour), you take your Mechanics skill and roll it against the base difficulty found on the Schematic, any uncancelled Success symbols fill in the research boxes 1 at a time till the first 4 boxes are filled. Upon filling the first four boxes (up to the dashed line) you have "learned" how to make the Armour and are familiar with the design and may tick/cross or fill in the box on the top left of the card as you are now able to build it.

Any excess Advantage or a Triumph while dismantling the Armour can be used to tick the blue shaded in box and gain intricate knowledge of the Armour's design and get an automatic Boost dice while making it in the future (so you can add 1 B to the tally in the Modifiers Box).

So that's it in a nutshell, what do you guys think?

If someone could let me know if I'm actually allowed to share the Schematic Cards when they are finished on here that would be great. (Obviously they contain materials from Keeping the Peace & Special Modifications).
