Jorge is welcome to copy and paste the feat text if he wants.

Master Craftsman
Your superior crafting skills allow you to create simple magic items.

Prerequisites: 5 ranks in any Craft or Profession skill.

Benefit: Choose one Craft or Profession skill in which you possess at least 5 ranks. You receive a +2 bonus on your chosen Craft or Profession skill. Ranks in your chosen skill count as your caster level for the purposes of qualifying for the Craft Magic Arms and Armor and Craft Wondrous Item feats. You can create magic items using these feats, substituting your ranks in the chosen skill for your total caster level. You must use the chosen skill for the check to create the item. The DC to create the item still increases for any necessary spell requirements (see the magic item creation rules in Magic Items). You cannot use this feat to create any spell-trigger or spell-activation item.

Normal: Only spellcasters can qualify for the Craft Magic Arms and Armor and Craft Wondrous Item feats.

why does the description say you can only create "simple" items? I don't see any limitation on the power of the items that could be created.

guessing its due to the cant make spell trigger or spell completing objects. although i think the only things that have these are wands and staffs which you cant make with this feat anyway seeing as you can only get craft wondrous and craft magic arms and armor.

For the way it is, where you can simply take a -5 penalty if you don't have the spell, I would vote no. However, if instead it was required to have the spell cast by someone else by either paying for it or getting a friend to do it for free, I would be ok with it.

For now, as it is, I vote no.

Travis. Did you vote no to allowing it as is or no it should not be banned?

I would not be opposed to the person with out magic creating the item but then someone else casts the spell into it. The person has to have the spell though. If it is not a party member then they can pay to have an nps do it. I am fine with that ruling.

Yah I voted wrong. I was thinking no, but meant yes.

I'm with you on not allowing it unless they have someone provide the needed spells. Otherwise, how are they introducing magical energies into the item?

So currently were at a 3 to 3 tie right now?

Yes. It is 3/3. Travis can change his vote with the cancel vote option right under the poll if he wants (I turned it on just in case).

I will put a different poll up with a tweak that was mentioned to see if that will change it enough so more are happy with it.
