Racial Weapons and Craft checks

[Murdock Mudeater]

Just double checking, if I'm a dwarf, are craft checks to repair/create dwarven exotic weapons using the DC of a martial weapon or a exotic weapon?

Example, dwarven boulder helm. Craft (weapons). 18 DC for exotic weapon, 15 DC for martial weapon.

It's still an exotic weapon. That dwarves get to treat them as martial weapons for proficiency purposes doesn't change that they are exotic.

True, but:

Quote:

Weapon Familiarity: Dwarves are proficient with battleaxes, heavy picks, and warhammers, and treat any weapon with the word "dwarven" in its name as a martial weapon.

It doesn't say anything about proficiency. Dwarves treat any weapon with "dwarven" in the name as a martial weapon. So that should be for all purposes: proficiency as well as creation.

That's a paragraph discussing proficiency.

Physical classifications of weapons don't change, even if how you treat those weapons for certain abilities might.
