Magic Item Repairing

[daedel, el azote]

Hi all,

Is there any rules governing magic item repairs? I've found only the repair activity in crafting and the mending spell. The second specifies is for non magical items, but the first doesn't say anything about that. Is it possible? Are you tied to same restrictions as in crafting, i.e. level of the item, your own proficiency level, etc?

By raw you are tied to just the item DC.

Giving additional limits would have affected mostly the shield users, forced to have extremely high repair skills and crafting feats ( or at least 1 character out of 4 with endgame crafting).

A fighter with trained proficiency and some int and item bonus ( as well as the quick repair skill feat) is probably going to be fine until high levels, though he might consider investing a little more to increase the chance to repair the item.

Yup. Skills are really powerful in this edition. Best healing in the game; best repair ability; some of the best buffs and debuffs too are skill based.

Kinda nice that they are available to any character that wants to invest in them.
