I'll pipe up here, I think for Rope, you'd need Profession (rancher), Profession (sailor), or Profession (rope maker), or craft (weaving) for it. But that's just my thoughts.

[blackbloodtroll]

I am planning on making a breaker barbarian, focusing on the improvised weapon aspect.
What about a cannonball?

[CaptainJandor]

Profession: rancher is brilliant!

As for cannonball: Profession: sailor or Profession: Siege Engineer would both work, I'd think. Craft: Blacksmith could work, too, but I'm not sure if historically Blacksmith's made cannonballs.

I agree.

[Umbranus]

I'll stick to Professions:

1) Rope - Profession Sailor
3) Bear Trap - Profession Trapper
4) Lute - Profession Entertainer/musician
7) Manacles - profession jailor
8) Ballista Bolt - Profession siege engineer
10) Anchor - Profession sailor
11) Chunks of unworked metal - Profession miner perhaps. But it's no tool

[blackbloodtroll]

When I mentioned unworked metal, I was thinking trade bars, or something similar. I hope that helps.

[Umbranus]

Then it's perhaps profession smelter or profession metalurgist or just craft alchemy

[WRoy]

Profession (slaver) should cover ropes, manacles and chains.

[blackbloodtroll]

I guess this got moved to the rules forum.
What about a torch?
