Wood	Tool Kit 1	Bowyer
Fiberglass	Took Kit 1	Bowyer

ARROW HEAD	shop required	skill
Standard Metal	Machine Shop (Includes Tool Kit 1)	Machinist
Improvised (-3 BCS & 1/2 WDM)	Tool Kit 1	Bowyer

The character needs a workshop or Took Kit 1 to make arrows, or time is 3 days rather than one.

Arrows and Bolts require shafts and heads.

One unit of BOYER supplies for shafts for one days production, one for each head. Target arrows can use just tips, which are easier to make and do not require a supply.

Craft	Supplies
Shafts (DFT Effect Die)	1 Bower Supply Per Day of Production
Heads	1 Machining Per Head Produced

Example: A player rolls a DFT Effect die of 6. It will make 6 arrows and require 1 boywer supply and 6 machining supplies. Note machining and bowyer supplies can be created from scrapping in areas with scrap metal and trees.

Character	Skills

No character has Bowyer, or Machining.

Note to Players: Information here is considered metagaming. Your character should not reference or use these numbers in game to determine who should roll for specific skills.

Bows take 15 - WT Group Effect Die days to complete with cured wood.

Book 2, page 18, "This Skill allows a character to produce arrows and bows. With the proper materials and equipment"
"The tools needed for this Skill are found in aTool Kit 1. A simple knife is sufficient but will triple all working times."
"In the case of a bow using wood in its construction, the wood must be cured and prepared. This process will take 2D6 weeks but does not require the constant supervision of the Bowyer."
