This skill allows characters to make primitive tools and weapons out of stones, sticks, cords, and other natural materials. Only non-powered devices and weapons, such as bows and arrows, axes, clubs, javelins, knives, and spears, can be made. Only a javelin can be balanced well enough to use as a thrown weapon. Structures made with this skill include rope bridges, larger shelters requiring a greater use of materials than the Survival skill's personal shelter, makeshift structures in trees, rafts, and so on. The referee may allow a character to improvise tools and weapons from wreckage and scrap parts.
In general, some degree of success if considered automatic but the character should make a roll to determine the relative quality of the item. A poor roll will indicate an item or structure that will fail quickly whereas a good roll indicates an item or structure that will endure.
