Item Craftsmanship, Not all smiths are equally skilled. Options

[dragon_lord]

All craftsman/blacksmiths are not equally skilled in the art of forging weapons and armour. And so throughout the land varying qualities of equipment can be found:

-Normal items will have 3 levels of quality: Poor, Average and High.
Poor: THAC0 Penalty and damage penalty(in regards to average quality), a chance of breaking.
Average: Normal
High: THAC0 Bonus and speed bonus. No damage bonuses. Those are for magical
items

- High quality normal items can be upgraded through gems.
- 4 different gem types - the elements fire/poison etc
- There can only be one gem per item (stops it from getting too complicated).

Magic items of course can still have things added to them just like in bg2.

I would just like to point out that while it was annoying in BG2 to see all these powerful weapons and all of the creatures that fell to them, this isn't really BG2, this is Mythera. Things are different in Mythera. Rules are different. For example, where a dragon would have fallen to a level 20 paladin in BG2, now I could make a Wyvern that wouldn't fall to a level 60 Fighter. Things are a lot different in Mythera. That is why it is called a TC, because it's totally converted.
