Those with this skill can also make a quarterstaff with the right tools and supplies. At minimum, an axe, knife and suitable piece of wood are needed. Base time is five minutes.
With more time and more supplies, the character can get a bonus to his roll.
By taking one hour to fashion the staff, the character gains a bonus of +5 to his skill roll.
If the character has hammer and nails, something to use for a metal endcap, some leather and some leather thong, the character gains an additional +5 to his roll, but only if he also takes an hour to fashion the staff (thus, he gains a total bonus of +10).
