Rules Questions


Is the Item Cost Modifier for Special Materials an addition to the Base Cost of a finished product?

Yes, although the special material raises the market price of the item. The base cost for the Craft skill is 1/3 total market price as normal (other than a few specific exceptions).

Read the description of the special material, though. Some special materials (adamantine, mithral, etc.) include the market price for masterwork, as well.
