Crafting in Dungeons and Dragons

The existing rules for crafting magic items in 5E Dungeons & Dragons are often vague, time-consuming, and lack excitement. Even with the 2024 updates, they still leave much to be desired. Additionally, many D&D Classes rarely utilize their tool proficiencies and skills, making them feel underused and forgotten. While the updated rules offer a bit more guidance, they still don’t quite meet the needs of Players and Dungeon Masters looking for a deeper, more engaging crafting experience.
