craft or lore for "baking" as a income earning


Rules Discussion


I have a character that I want to be a baker during her down time. Making and selling breads, rolls, etc.

Would this be considered a "craft" pursuit or a "lore" pursuit?

As I have read the entries in the Pathfinder 2nd edition core rulebook, it is unclear which is the path that should be pursued.

She is "crafting" in my eyes, by making the bread and then selling it.

But in reading the core rulebook it can also be classified as "lore" - cooking or baking.

As I have talked to my GM and other players they say "lore" is more of the intellectual side of the "trade", knowledge about bakers, bakeries, different ingredients, etc. Where "craft" would be creating a specific item.

Which one is the correct one? Is there even a correct one?

You would use craft to make items in the rule books which required craft (baking) in the same way that making armor requires armor crafting (though one craft skill lets you craft everything).

Since there aren't any items, that I know of, that would involve making an item for use by the players it probably is better represented as a Lore instead of a craft.

Either would work. Use whichever one is likely to give you the best result.

You save more money Crafting than you'd be Earning with Lore, but then you'd have a mountain of biscuits.

Go with Lore.

Baking is a Lore. Claxon has the right of it.
